Terry: it is just my opinion, could be the larger cabinet, could be something else. Both sets are fresh recapped and aligned (tough!), and the 37 is a fine radio. BUT the 38 sound is just a bit fuller/deeper.

Ron: do you have an opinion about this.

BTW, Terry, I covet your 37-116 Standard set!!!!!!
