I heard that they are moving the manufacturing to India and cabinets will be made out of wood composite.

As a danish sound geek, it is a shame that they no longer produce the cabinets in Denmark.
But I think all of us Everest dreamers see a opportunity. But isn´t the midtone the challenge. And how to produce the rest of the horn.

But wauuu they look good.

Yes, the horn is definetly the biggest challenge in turning these cabinets to actual speakers. Guido built some clones,maybe he has something to say?

Without the correct drivers any DIYer will only have a speaker that looks like an Everest. Unfortunately JBL no longer supports the DIY community so getting the correct parts is extremely difficult. Even as a dealer, I can not order them except as replacements for damaged units.

As expected prices are running quite high in the end, +$1500 for E2 and +$1000 for K2. Maybe not a bad price for org cabinets, but many are missing frontpanel, there are some scratches and veener faults so It doesn't seem like there will be E2 or K2 for me this time

Deal of the day was this, $300 for this:



Cabinets like these went for aprox $2000:

It seems most of the Everest cabinets are selling at around euro 1800 / DKK 12000 for a pair. I was out bid around that price on three auctions.
Hope another LH member got some

The two first pairs were the cheapest one, I bid on 5-6 auctions but no luck

[Mr. Widget]

If anyone does get a pair or more I hope they post...

Guido, are you buying them up to produce your own version with Radians and ????

Harman REALLY messed up by letting these cabinets get out on the free market like this. They should have bought and destroyed/recycled them if they had no use for them. This can't be good for the value of current Everest inventory. I find the whole thing a little sad.

I would be completely shocked if they cared.

[baldrick]

I thought all hopes were over... BUT found out later that a friend had bought 6 (!) of the Everest cabinets So it seems like I will get a pair after all!

And to those who are worried, the buyer is not in this for the money, they are more or less already sold to other JBL enthusiast

For what I've heard and from the pictures my guess is that most of the cabinets are b-stock with some flaws in the veneer, and maybe that's the reason why Harman didn't care?
