Those Westlake’s are worth some serious coin, not to mention gorgeous.
So many people spend huge amounts of money on audio gear and never take into account their rooms, especially what’s reflecting behind them. I bet your system sounds epic, well done.
Thanks, Indeed the system now sounds super to my ears. There are some small reflections that bother me , but that's the "limit" of damping I can do right now as my wife says , this is not a studio but a music room. And she's right of course. When we rebuild the room, we ripped out the floor ,to the concrete ,placed a thick layer of isolation and then placed a floating flooring over it. So in fact his is helping to damp the EXLF's in the room too.
On the Westlakes,
I was tempted by a customer of mine , who has already 2 sets in use: see ICP studio's in Brussels:
https://www.icpstudios.com/
In Studio A, They placed a Meyer set that was complete rebuild by me. It's a 4" High driver TAD 4001 coupled with a horn , a 15" TAD Low and a double 18" TAD sub per side. That completely active with a vari motion control on the 15" and BSS BLU processing .
Studio B and Studio C have the Westlakes with original JBL components. Active driven for Low and Mid/high by Crown Reference amps and BSS BLU processing.
He wants mine for "extra" but mine are slightly different in components. The lows are TAD 1601B's and the High driver is a TAD TD2001.
I was not using the internal crossovers anymore. They are still in and functional , but I rather did the processing and amplification external.
Maybe I should consider selling them. We will see.
Cheers,
Udo.
