Westwell?

weikertball · 17th September 2008, 05:41 PM

Anybody heard of Westwell? I have 2 vintage speakers that my grandparents gave me. They are in PRISTINE condition. The back of the enclosure had a grill style piece which makes me think they might be good for an OB. The model number on the back of the speaker is PC-1611 and it says Westwell Japan on it. One piece paper cone and surround, 6" speaker. They sound pretty good on vocal music and classical violin and stringed instruments.

I've seen a few Westwells before... mostly really small ones. They looked & sounded decent.

cool, I wish I could find the TS params. so I could see if they would work in a different enclosure type, mostly to bring out the bass quite a bit. They have a nice high end sparkle, better than the the Pioneer B20 FR's I'm running right now.

Even if you could find them, natural driver variation + aging means it is unlikely that anything but measuring the drivers you have will get you reasonabl data for the pair you have.

Can you post pictures?
