Following one or two recent enquiries I thought it might be helpful to list the following:
The bell mouth diameter of the standard EMG, Expert and Cascade horns I have checked or measured are as follows:
Model -------------Diameter in inches
EMG Mk VI--------------24 (Wilson)
EMG Mk VIII------------24 (Wilson)
EMG Mk IX--------------22
EMG Mk X---------------26
EMG Mk Xa--------------28 ⅝
EMG Mk Xb--------------29 ½
EMG Mk Xb Oversize---33 ½
Expert Minor-------------18 ⅜
Expert Junior------------25 (sometimes 24)
Expert Senior------------28 ¼
Expert All Range---------36
Cascade-------------------24 (Wilson)
I have never seen an actual Expert Cadet. (Only in photos).
I would think that the listener would expect to hear a fuller sound from Mk Xa when compared to a Mk X due to the final horn diameter being 2 ⅝ inches larger. Unfortunately, I do not own a Mk X to carry out the experiment. I have, however, been fortunate enough to compare the rest.

Re: EMG, Expert and Cascade horn sizes.
Thanks for that Graham. You posted these somewhere before I seem to remember, but I couldn't remember where to find it. A most useful basic chart for all of us.
