Meridian M2 clone - driver recommendations

[Colin]

Attractive though the M2 is, if I was going for an active speaker of this size or less, I'd look at an established kit and proceed by replacing the crossover with an active version. That gives an easy set of steps and you can judge the results as you go along.

This would be a good candidate using modern drivers

Has anyone here watched the film Pi? If you have then you may perhaps understand my singlar purpose and this cultural reference...

"I'll restate my assumptions" - MTM driver layout with a front port, HxWxD of 500x180x375 and an active crossover.

I'm not being rude, just bloody minded

Hi,

Well most people here will tell you I'm very bloody minded.
Simple fact is I'm not going to try to tell you your build for you.

I will point you in the right directions and criticise the wrong ones.
But you have to work it out, you have to choose what your building.

rgds, sreten.

OK, I see that the ELOK is close to what I want, although a little small on cabinet size. So I scale it up to the M2 dimensions and calculate the right port size. Then I have to figure out the active equivalent of the 18dB crossover. Simple eh?

Passive Version Of Meridian's M2 - which Model No ??

I am looking for the passive version of Meridian's M2. Thank you very much for an advice.

I've decided to try and build a Meridian M2 active speaker clone. I have the cabinet dimensions and the schematic for the crossover but I need to source the drivers. It originally had KEF units, tweeter was either T52A (SP1049) or T52B (SP1072) and bass/mid was a pair of B110 (SP1057). Do I hang around on fleabay trying to find originals or are there modern alternatives (must be available in the UK) that would work?

1) Tweeter:

hi i know this is an old thread, but trying to repair a pair of m2 speakers, does anyone have the schematic for the amp\xover please, thanks

And reading the thread after it coming up again, it's a shame in a way that the OP and others thought that the SP1057 of the B110 was going to be expensive on ebay.. Back in 2012 they were going relatively cheap because people were only interested in the earlier B110s. Today they are about £50 each.

bosedtobosed - you do see amp/cross-over boards sold separately and selling for about £100 the pair on ebay. Obviously not that common..
