JBL M2 - DIY clone

New nice DIY project in Norway.
Sorry for all the text in Norwegian, but many nice pictures and a lot of useful information collected for someone who wants to build M2.

Wow a nice and thorough exploration. It makes the project a virtual step by step project.

I wonder if JBL will dry up the drivers and parts supply with so many people building clones worldwide? Hopefully not.

Incredibly cool and inspiring - thanks for sharing.

Google Translate really works a treat these days; it seems like it even does a good job of translating some Norwegian slang/idioms to English.

I wonder if the OP in that thread will consider selling the CAD files/CNC info to interested parties... I'm sure there would be plenty of interested buyers!

Really nice. Lots of effort going in to those cabinets. Always inspiring to see nice builds. I think I prefer the veneer version for domestic use.

Same here - by a large margin.

I like the clean, simple look of the two tone black + wood veneer from the hifisentralen.no thread above better, but here's another cool example of a DIY M2 I saw online somewhere that was a bit more of an homage to the vintage studio monitors we all love, with blue baffle and figural walnut veneer.
