Hi everyone first posting. I have a pair of L200 that are 34 years old. What is the model number for the woofer I thought it was an LA15A that was also used in thw Westlake Hidley studio monitors. My pair came from the old CBS mastering Lab in NYC.

It depends on what version you have:

The first version, L200, has two ports and uses a LE15b woofer (similar to a LE15a, but with cloth surrounds):

The second version, L200B, has one port and uses a 136a woofer (same as the 2231a and ancestor of the 2235h):

If you remember LE15 then it must certainly be LE15B because I don't think any L200 version had LE15A.

To make sure just check the surround:
If it is foam it is a LE15A (or maybe a 136A or ...), if it is cloth then you have a LE15B.

Just checked. It appears that it is cloth. Three ribbed black band looks to be same consistency as the speaker. Le15b it is. Thanks again!
