You are certainly entitled to your opinion. The Type D is a fine conventional speaker, but IMO no match for the Type A, assuming the proper room, placement and electronics.
Peter Snell was a brilliant designer who developed loudspeaker technologies that are still in use today. Kevin Voecks, who designed the Type D, had a very different vision and took Snell speakers in an entirely different direction.
