I compared them sitting on top of an Onken box. You are correct...the front mounting flanges are not the same size. Why did they do that?
I am holding off on routing out a rebate for the front lip of the horn in my new project until I decide which 32 to use or whether I will go with a 32 at all.
The WE 728B plays quite high..."almost" doesn't need a tweeter but ~8k just isn't enough HF for most modern listeners.
If somebody has a better suggestion for a sweet tweeter that will match the flavor of a 728B, I'd like to know.
I hate to put a crossover on the 728B down in the 3k range since it is so good playing full range, but I'll try it before abandoning the notion. It sure works in the 757A, et.al.
Generally, however, the antique collector notion that the metal 32 is great because it is more "WE like" and the plastic is cheap modern trash does not really hold up in practice.
