Here's some info about the monitor on Tom Hidley's home page:

I found the above pic here, where one can get more glimpses of it:

Seems they are no longer in use (I wonder who has them now?):

At least they've been replaced by custom monitors designed by "our" George Augspurger.
For reference (I've posted those links before), here are other examples of early Westies (or, actually, Easties ):
Studio Bohus, Gothenburg 1977:

Polar Studios, Stockholm 1978:

The pic in my first post was probably taken in 1973 (judging from the text on the site).
That shirt was 72 - I'm sure of that.
I'd say that seems about right (judging from the guy's shirt!)
Thanks for sharing this; It makes me wish studios never left the big monitor days. Looks like some big monitors are making a comeback- the success of Dynaudio, Dunlavy, etc...oh, and Westlake.

EDIT- Damn, Merlin. You beat me to the punchline! lol.
EDIT (2X)- I will share another mother of Westies:
