Review: "Three new Thin Chinas (14", 16" and 18") and a 20" regular China bring the total number of Twenty Series China options to an impressive nine. The Thin Chinas' combination of white-hot attack and underlying shimmering darkness is impressive. Again the larger pair perform strongest, opening with searing aggression while brimming with trashiness. The 20" China doesn't have the same level of immediacy as the Thin models but it is louder and even more complex."

Review: "The 14", 16", and 18" Thin Chinas are very explosive and are trashier than the heavier Twenty models. The 14" was a little too sharp and aggressive for my tastes, while the 16" had a middle-of-the-road sound that was neither disappointing nor mind-blowing. Of the three, I preferred the 18", since it had the lowest pitch and the darkest timbre."
