How hard is it to come by the 2441, 2311 and 2308 portions of the 4355 monitor?
I have the rest of the drivers in boxes. Looks like it would be a fun speaker to build...

Its either another speaker project or finally start that brewing i have been meaning to do.

Not hard. Depends on how picky you are regarding condition and how far
open your wallet will stretch. The crossover might be a bit more work,
or at least cost ... having them built for you might be your best bet.

I don't recall if the cabinet plans are somewhere here (likely).

If you don't mind a 100 mile drive, you are welcome to come and listen to my 4355 variants.

Condition isn't a concern, as long as they work properly. My wallet doesn't want to open up too wide... how much should I expect to spend?

And thanks for the offer Woody. Your'e a 100 miles from Portland?

My best suggestion would be to check ebay for recent sales that have completed.
You might still be able to get some reproduction 2308-type lenses, a member
here was selling them.

It's -possible- you could make some nice deals and pick up your listed
required parts for under $1k + crossovers. It would be quite easy to spend
a lot more and not be 'taken'.

Used diaphragms are a risk you'd likely have to take at the low price
point, and watch out for broken throats (in 2441), cracked/chipped 2308 lenses,
off-brand 2311 type adapters, and aftermarket diaphragms.
