No audible differences that I’ve noticed, I did all the cabinets on a CNC machine so the biggest difference for me was the amount of dust involved. I do prefer the ply just because I think it makes...

I’ve made 8 JBL M2 clones thus far, 3 in MDF the remainder in Birch Plywood. In every case the bracing was 3/4 MDF and cabinets were 1” thick. I think what you make the bracing out of is just down...

I did look into making the grills myself, even went as far as drawing it out in the cad software, but in the end decided against the DIY route mainly because I didn't want to use wood and couldn't...

Question for you, I believe your rephase FIR filters for the M2 was based on actually measuring an M2, but was this an M2 connected to a DCIn amp or a BSS unit, and if DCIn amp do the...

I entered those settings for the 708's & 705s into my Q-SYS dsp and there was a significant improvement in the cohesiveness between them and the M2s when compared to the PEQ's that have been floating...

There were a series of posts over on AVSforum the last few days showing the parameters from London Architect for the M2, 708, 705, they might be of help.
...

I've been using cura to produce the 3D printable files.

Parameters

PLA
Fine - layer height 0.1mm
100% infill

I did find that if I used anything but 100% infill the wall of the port would...

16,384 taps, That's a huge amount to have on tap, gotta wonder though what its going to do to the utilization especially on the smaller 110f/c units.

Cheapest way appears to be by using them together with a minidsp. PEQ's posted here https://www.minidsp.com/forum/minidsp-for-newbies/12769-jbl-lsr708i-dsp#29625

I know its an old thread but were you ever successful taking the baffle off the 708i. There are about 10 small screws holding the baffle on but I'm also wondering if they used any glue. I also...

Steve,

Whilst I was asked to come up with a Sub 18 clone and might still do so, I actually found someone in CA selling 3 of them factory new for $1799 each so it really didn't make much sense. ...

Correct, that's how we planned it.

What paint did you use, looks a bit like Duratex Smooth - Spray Grade. You did a very good job with the cabinets.

And to finish it off, I present the stunted half child of the M2.

Using the M2 waveguide, D2 & crossover, this will be sitting on top of a fire mantle as the center channel, mid range and bass...

These are my new and improved recently finished pair

Yea I should patent that idea. :D

I like the idea of the open back, the horn is a real pain to mount in its standard form.

Here are some photos of my build, nearly ready for paint. We are using the original grills on this...

Opportunistic that they should implement that days after we were talking about it. Although 1024 taps wont be anywhere near enough for this particular application.

Its certainly possible that the...

Steve

That command line switch worked perfectly and I was able to use the Pro Logic block on my core.

BTW 1 Pro Logic block added 1% to the utilization.

I’m using the core 110f, most likely the same hardware but sold into different markets. Same as CXD_Q & DPA_Q amps. I’m also using 4096 in the FIR blocks. Could be the Prologic blocks in your...

I did a bit of testing last night and you were spot on, the Standalone mode works nothing like I thought it did, more like a limp mode since it just allows the amp to boot up and play or continue...

Certainly not even 50% sure if that will work, it was just a thought. Your memory on the subject is a lot fresher than mine. The I/O obviously needs to go through the amp rather than be routed...

And for anyone else thinking of building an M2 clone I can confirm that all of the Parts CD / Waveguide / Woofer are still readily available at Speaker Exchange. Currently 7-10 day lead time. Have...

Steve

A lot of good info there, must admit the only time I ran into CPU utilization issues was in the design phase when I was just throwing stuff into the design and not taking it out. I only...

Can anyone who has access to the M2 horn and CD measure their overall depth.

I need to know how much space inside the cabinet it takes up.

Thanks
