Hello, everyone. The summer solstice has passed and the rainy season has also gone somewhere. It has been hot as if it were going to be in mid-summer. How are you? Now we would like to introduce the Westlake Audio HR-1F. It is 4-ways-5 speakers full of attraction such as a wide tonal range low from the double-woofer that we feel on our body, to the tweeter of the woodhorn coming in front of us.
by Koichi Iwamura of Ohsu Head Store

The sectoral woodhorn is divided into six sections by five wing-shaped boards. The wooden enclosure, even one part of which weighs 170kg, gives an overwhelming presence.
With respect to the units, the low has two 2235H double-woofers, one mid-low is placed between them, the mid-high has 2441, and the high has the 2425J driver.
The phone is without saran net, but it is attached, so feel at ease.

Four YAMAHA model PC-1002s drive this massive Westlake Audio HR-1F. This professional amplifier PC-1002 is not only solid but it also has a wonderful capacity. It gives both powerful and sensitive sound, and its performance deserves much more than its actual retail price value.
I once listened to the sound of B & W Nautilus (enormous snail like shell or Ohm-gai) that was given by the PC-1002, and was surprised at the excellence of the sound.

Shown in the above photo is the channel divider specific for this speaker.
In general there is difficulty in total balance in case of the multi-drive, but the specific channel divider allows the natural sound with smooth connection.

The work by Taguchi Woodworker is wonderful. Although there was a large broken part in the horn, it was completely repaired. It was the very craftwork. The horn shown on the right side of the photo shows the part that has a different wood color, while the horn on the left side shows almost no difference because the wood patterns are the same around the joint.
Now at Ohsu Store, the Westlake Audio HR-1F (one pair) is being sold at \2,500,000. For your information, it was sold at \8,400,000 when it was first released.
You can try listening at Ohsu Head Store now, so please be in a hurry.
