Not even real JBL's . Clones, regardless of the drivers

I don't see the value approaching even a fraction of that, but it does look like nice work.

I think the 3-D printed lenses look cheesy, otherwise appears someone put a lot of time into them.

I suspect it’s one of those times when they look ALOT better in the photos than they do in person, but I might be wrong. It looks like paint edge isn’t that clean, and the substrate used is far from being smooth. Some mushrooming can be seen around a couple of the screws... for that kind of money the cabinetry should look like fine furniture.

Re-builded?

Someone spent some time and effort designing and 3D printing those slant plate assemblies. Kind of stupid when they could have bought near perfect reproductions from Kendrick.

You can buy the 3-D printed ones on eBay, I've seen them. Personally I'd have to belt-sand down the raster lines, just looks junky to me, but real used ones show up often enough that I'd just wait (I sold a pair last year, sequential S/Ns and perfect foilcals, believe they only brought $150-$200).
