Well, I just listened to the files again. Specifically, R84, R121, and R122 on a 4 x 12 ENGL cab through a Spider with no fat. The Royers are smoother throughout the frequency response with a fuller sound compared to the AEA which appeared to be scooped 500 to 1000hz on the metergraph in comparison.
Furthermore, the 122 does make the 121 sounds a bit nasally in the upper mids, though it was not big enough to spot on the metergraph. The difference between the 122 and the 121 was not as pronounced on the S3As as it is on the K&H 0300Ds.

I distinctly remember the Royers coming in with more low end thud from the kick than the AEAs. Nathan perhaps you are talking about low meaning below 60hz? I will have to revisit the drum files to be sure. One thing is certain, the R84s pick up a lot more room than the Royers.
