I have not made the speakers but have use the head assemblies for many many things! mostly laser based to throw audio patterns on walls.

Similar thing to that link, was pulled apart and had the hard drive motor spinning a small mirror to scan the X Tangent around and the head unit was mounted 90 degress with another mirror to make the y tangent oscillate. It worked surprisingly well.

this one is being scanned by physically spinning the hard disl platter forward and backward and the head "voice coils" pming a sting to make the gluegunned mirror vibrate.
