    Very Cool, kind of mid 70's styling. Straight out of the Control Room!

    Crappy Camera

    They are not white but a rather nice taupe color(wifes pick). Here is a photo of the right side without the new grills (not finished yet). This will give you guys an idea on how the system will look.

    The 4 space blank

    Thats where those huge McIntosh M1000 VU meters are going with pretty blue lights eluminating them. Should make cool eye candy. I built the electronics to drive and light them from a DIY schematic and they work great. Just need to cut out the holes and mount them on that 4 space blank.

    I look at those and I immediately think "now THOSE things can make some music!"
    I'm listening to some older big band stuff right now, and I KNOW it would sound great on those.

    Keep 'em warmed up!

    Yes, very nice, Ken.

    I'm wondering what driver you use on the small horn.

    Driver compliment

    2235H x 2
    Gauss 3184B
    2441 aluminum phragm
    2426 small horn 4.5k up


    FYI

    Attached is a photo of material I used to seal the drivers on the baffle. It works great. Can be had for 5 bucks for 18 feet at Home Depot.

    How do the Westlakes compare to quad-amping some 4355īs?

    I have no idea

    Alex, I have never heard or seen a pair of 4355's. I have however owned a pair of 4350B's that were bi-amped using Phase Linear 700's and Crown DC 300A's.

    The Westlakes simply blow the 4350's away in all aspects. These HR-1's are powered by five AB International amps and an HRX 4 way crossover. I can run them with eight seperate amps but ran into power supply problems. Unfortunately all outlets in the room are on one 15 amp circuit. I am afraid I have to rip the wall up and run a dedicated 20 amp circuit. The budget won't alow that for a few months.

    Here is a photo of the Left base cab.

    My new LCD 37" TV should be here next week!!!
