For the purposes of their experiment, "sounding fine" isn't the same as "the TMDR sounds just like the DRRI into the same speaker".
Bottom line, I wouldn't expect both amps to sound the same into a different speaker. So it's kind of a faulty experiment and the result (not sounding the same into a different speaker) was not surprising.
Similarly, the TM Blonde amps are hard-coded to be driving a Celestion Creamback Neo speaker.

What about putting a set of Continental PremiumContact 6 all-weather tyres on your Fiat Punto? I mean, they aren't stock...

People buy a Les Paul and feel it could be improved with a pickup change. Same with amps. Except magic don't be upgradingy 'the speaker is in the firmware' amps, apparently.

Or in fact, how many people change the speaker in any amp?
Actually come to think of it, how many people even know what sort of speaker is in their amp...
My experience is none, not many, and a surprisingly small number, respectively - despite many amps being fitted with ones that are not at all optimal in my opinion, and seem to be either chosen for cost, volume or because they're a brand-recognition item (eg V30, which is a great speaker in the right amp but often put in totally inappropriate ones).
At least the Jensen Tornados are good speakers and appropriate to the voicing of the amp.

Likewise, if someone has a TM and discovers a celestion speaker sounds nicer to them, that's subjectively an upgrade.
So let me get this straight. People are getting worried about changing a speaker on an amp they probably don't own and may not have even tried, or potentially ever try. Despite the amp being specifically designed to be lightweight and already comes with a choice of 2 good quality neo speakers. Despite the fact that you could easily swap the speaker out anyway and it will be safe to do so as long as the impedance and wattage are acceptable. But despite all that, and even though the replacement speaker will work, it may not work quite as expected, because the amp wasn't specifically designed for that speaker?
