Westlake BBSM-6 speaker replacements

[Bernd G]

Just lost almost ALL drivers in our BBSM-6s due to the North-East power outage. Does anyone know exactly which replacements they use? I know that the woofers are made by SEAS (Norway) - model and manufacturer is written on the driver. Is the tweeter and midrange by the same company?
You ask why we don't just send them to WESTLAKE? $ 900 to have only the midranges replaced. These are $80 speakers !! How do I measure the nominal impedance of a driver? We'll make it a tweeking project...

The tweeter is an Audax TWO25AO. A few years back the terminal leads were moved to a different position so that you have to cut the enclosure to fit the new lead configuration. Westlake will send you a diagram if you ask, but it's pretty obvious once you get the driver.
The original mid-range driver is no longer made. Westlake dis-continued the "6" when it became unavailable, which I'm guessing has a lot to do with the replacement price. Don't know what they're using in the BBSM-6 "II".

Thanks subspace, for the valuable information.
Now, two out of three ain't bad...

Subspace: could the midrange be the PEERLESS 821385, 4" mid? It seems to match the sensitivity (91dB) and nominal impedance (8) of the Audax and the two SEAS.
