As my ol' dad would say "You make enough mistakes with the right attitude and eventually you'll be the smartest guy around."
I would never underestimate the value of what you've learned, even if in my naivete I don't agree (or understand).

Hi all
Well, this is a little embarrassing to say the least.
I couple of months ago I was talking to someone at Westlake Audio. One thing led to another and it was mentioned that a pair of HR7’s had been ordered some time back and the deal had fallen through. I was told that the pair had been collecting dust in the work shop for some time. I mentioned that I had seen them (collecting dust) during our tour in January of 2007. In fact I had taken a couple photos of them.
As a result of that phone call, Glenn was made aware I would buy them if a price could be agreed on. In December I was told I could have them for a very good price. I was told they were not completed yet but could be ready in February. I arranged for payment and the deal was struck. Turns out, not completed was a bit of a misnomer as they were complete but had been stripped of a couple of drivers that had to be replaced.
As you are all aware I have been considering different xover and am combinations for the last few weeks. As a result of my researching different amp combo’s etc, I have been asking for additional specs on the HR7 system. It was discovered this week that I had misunderstood the original offer in terms of the series or model number of the HR7 system. Turns out the HR7 in question was the older VF series and not the Tower series…….which is the only HR7 I was familiar with. No one picked up on the fact that I had the wrong model in mind.
I waited all day yesterday for pictures of the HR7VF as I had never seen them before. Manny was kind enough to open the crates, So here they are and yes I am going forward.
I want to apologize for misleading all of you…..however, it was an honest mistake.
PS: The Towers are definitely more refined looking……..oh well. I am sure these will sound great. (Julie actually likes them more cause they are not as high)

They are really nice, congratulations!
And those 128H look much nicer than the Audax you would have on the newer model!
Hi Ken,
Nice to hear from you again. I guess you're gonna just hafta make do with them!! However, they look super and I suspect like most Westlakes, they'll do the job well.
You could always bury them in the ground and use the mid for home plate though... JK!
Hope they arrive in good shape.
Regards,
Bart

Hi, Ken,
WOW! Those are truly beautiful, and I'll bet they are sonically beautiful, as well! Congratulations on your new Westlakes! I'll look forward to your report, after you've had a chance to enjoy them for a while, and want to share your comments on them. Again, well done, and thanks for letting us see your new Babies!! Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
The only thing that can never be taken away from you, is your honor. Cherish it, in yourself, and in others.
What are the LF drivers?

JBL Pro for home use!
So these are a re-box conglomeration of 4412, 4343, and L222 Disco parts?
Wonder why they didn't use LE120H-1? What are the crossover points?
Very cool, actually. Hope to hear your listening impressions soon.
Well, I see someone has a new avatar!
Good luck with them. It's always a good start when Julie likes something.
