Pleasant Surprise

[Ken Pachkowsky]

As some of you are aware Westlake is not in the habit of releasing much technical info on their systems. I was under the impression that these monitors having been rebuilt 5 years ago had a 2445 2" driver. While refinishing them several months ago I discovered they had 2441's not 2445's. Upon discovering this I contacted Westlake and informed them of the error in there initial
respose to my inquirys. We subsequently discovered the initial person who looked up the serial numbers made a mistake.

I finally recieved from Westlake, a complete copy of all restoration work and was extatic to discover these 2441's and 2426's have Beryllium diaphragms that were custom made through JBL. I am somewhat tempted to open them up but would have to remove the whole front baffle to get at the driver. The bracing is in the way to remove them.

One happy fellow

Interesting. I like the 2441 better myself.

Isn't that interesting. I hadn't thought that possible . I guess Westlake has a lot of clout .

I always said I love the 2441 above all others! regardless of brand.

BUT, I never knew JBL had OEM,ed Be diaphragms for the 2441 for Westlake!

Learn something new each day, thanks Ken!

They must really sound great!
