Tweeter ID: Canton?

[Koloderko]

Hi!
This tweeter 3793 is in a Canton GL 260 but it doesn't look like it's the correct tweeter for this speaker. Can someone tell me if this looks like a Canton tweeter and if it belongs in this speaker?

Edit: added tweeter model number to make it searchable.

My GL 260s have a 2746 which is a 1" dome, so if they're correct yours is wrong. It looks like a Canton part number but smaller and so perhaps the 'super tweeter' from a three way model.

@Bratwurst7s will probably know the detail.

Tried searching for that model number without any luck. Not even in the Canton reference thread.

I did some more searching and one auction advertisement suggests that the 3793 comes from the Plus L. The Plus L is smaller than the GL 260 and has a 110 mm woofer, so closer in size to Minimus 7. If the data I found is accurate it has a 20 mm voice coil and is crossed at 2.2 kHz. The same site lists GL 260 crossover as 1.7 kHz (low!) and also 20 mm tweeter (mine are 25 mm or 1"). I'm slightly skeptical about accuracy of the information, despite it apparently coming from scans of Canton brochures, but the inference is that 3793 should not be crossed as low as 2746.

My searching also revealed that the three way models tend to use circular tweeter face plates.

Thanks for digging that info out! Nice lead. The Plus L seems to be a very obscure speaker. The only info that came up for me is on some German web sites. Nothing much really in the US. I wonder how this tweeter ended up in a GL 260? I guess we'll never know. I was able to find some pics on German auction site and am including it here for reference. The tweeter seems to look identical.

I have some very early model HC100 (and Pullman bar) which use the 3793, but later ones use the 2746 so I suspect they upgraded them at some point.
