Tweeters are Linaeum ribbons salvaged from an old pair of Radio Shack Optimus bookshelf speakers. i've wanted to do something with them for years.
Midwoofers are Vifa/Peerless TC9FD.
My little music room is nearly finished. I still have to do some shelving and veneer for the sub. Main speakers: SEAS L22, Morel EM1308, SEAS 22TAFG, x/o 850hz and 5khz. Active sub below 60hz goes to the low teens - 180ltr vented + Peerless 12" XXLS.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Westlake SM-1 / HR-7 / TM3
Hi Ken
I know your posts are a few years old but i just saw them and i am totally crazy about Westlake sound systems since i worked for many weeks on the SM 1 at Westlake´s Studio D in LA.
I would love to purchase some used ones if they are even on the market or the TM 3 or the HR-7 at least.
I am currently using in my Studio for Mastering the Tower version of the ATC 150
Any idea where i could find some Westlake´s
Best from Germany

Hi there, here is my latest creation, named "Jukebox audio" - "Wurlitzer"

You just have to post a build log or more details for those.
To say I am job smacked at the finish is an understatement .............
The cabinet side walls are made of plywood, 23mm thickness, glued with high pressure. Veneer santos palisander - carefully selected 12 sheets, matching all four sides. Finally lacquered four times with sanding and then polished to look like mirror. All work is done entirely by hand.
Cabinets has vertical and horizontal partitions, which is made by CNC machining (including top parts and front panel). Soles are cut by CNC laser machining, then they are sanded with sanding machines, to take smooth surface. After all they are chromed.
Drivers:
Midboss: Peerless HDS-164 PPB
Tweeter: SB Acoustics SATORI/TW29R
Sounds very gently, do not shout. Vocals are deep and soft, even listening sharp music ears are not tending.

There is some photos of making the Wurlitzer's:
this is the skeleton of cabinets, where side walls and others parts are glued.
front panel looks like that after CNC machining.
front panel after sanding with tools.
side walls looks like that after veneering. then a long varnishing and polishing process.. i haven't made much photos of making, but I hope you're satisfied.
And yes, they sound as good as they look
