Hi im sure you guys have heard it all before...
I have a pair of the old Westlake Audio BBSM6 studio monitors that need replacement drivers.
I would love to source and repair/replace and have spares for all.
and maybe even recap crossover.
I seem to recall them using AUDAX\Polydax and SEAS drivers
Tw025 tweeters
i see 2 types here
A0
A2
The Madisound Speaker Store
not to sure which one to use.
audax MHD12 for the mid???
I have only one..original owner never had both.. i can re-foam this driver but need to find a duplicate or a fresh pair..
Seas bass driver unknown look like
P17RC/TV think maybe this is the driver?
[SIZE=+1]P21REX/DD (H596) [/SIZE]
Strassacker: Speaker Building, Components
Im aware that some of the drivers are becoming rare...Im not into westlakes suggestion of shipping for service..
cost...$1000 round trip shipping
$1000 each for replacement mid range replacement and crossover hack.
total $3000
this is a very expensive fix..that im sure the knowledge on this site can remedy for a fraction of cost.
i have also heard from others that the westlake mod does not sound as good as the originals..
can anyone suggest a plan..
the real replacement serial numbers
source for spares
and if the mid range are no where to be found, a mid driver that falls in as a very close match.
Thank you all!

they have the Audax replacement for that mid too
How about the Faital Pro 3FE20 as midrange? 91 dB from 500 Hz to 5KHz!
it would most likely mean major crossover changes

think this is the mid driver used

I have to withdraw my proposal of the Faital Pro 3FE20. Two independent reviews in german loudspeaker magazines show 3 dB less sensitivity below 1 kHz than the manufacturer claims!
The Audax PR170MO is completely different from the MHD12 and requires certainly a new crossover.
I checked my driver database for 4" drivers having 8 Ohm and a SPL around 91 dB. No results except the Fostex FF125 and FE126. But both have a perturbance at 1.5 kHz and a peak around 6 kHz, while the MHD12 had a flat response with a nice roll-off. It's a pity that this kind of driver doesn't exisit anymore!

ehh, forgot, Celestion or Fane might have a good 5"

Westlake BBSM6 units
Hi StudioPaul,
Stumbling upon your quest for BBSM-6 units.
I happen to own a complete set of units and filter as well, from the OLD BBSM-6.
The only thing I don't have is the enclosures.
Are you still looking for units? Or are you maybe willing to sell your enclosures?
I live in the Netherlands but maybe we can figure something out.
Regards,
Leon

bbsm6 schems crossover
HI from brazil!
I'm a big fan and owner of some BBSM10s, but yesterday, i've found a old pair of BBSM6s and bought it, in not working conditions... we've checked already and theres a lot of strange components inside the speakers... some crossovers are not working properly... can you, send me those schematics, so we can put it the right way working?
serial number: 1539 - 1540
thanks a lot
