They used to be available @ Meniscus Audio, but they have gone out of business and the plans are nowhere to be found. I'm very interested in building them, I have a friend who has access to a CNC machine and I could probably build them in a short time. If they are no longer available, are there any comparable sealed designs (maybe with a bit more bass extension)?

Add your name to the list on Meniscus' homepage. AFAIK, they will eventually get to this.
I've never seen the Continuum II circuit, but I have seen the original.
BTW, 'gone' is preferable to 'dead' when speaking of those passed.

Apparently they have been saying they will get round to distributing plans for quite a while now, and I'm not confident much about them actually going through with it.
Wolf said it correctly... They will EVENTUALLY... Meniscus carried many kits, but the ones by Jeff will be setup so the proceeds go to Jeff's family. For something "special" like the Continuums maybe its with waiting, but there are LOTS of proven designs out there.
As far as sealed, and sealed with better bass, I don't have any suggestions. It seems at least 95% of DIY speakers are ported (or passive radiator).

Done.
Anybody interested ought to register to let them know it will be a worthwhile project.
If it takes some time so be it. Hopefully any required drivers will remain available in the meantime.
I have also added a request on the Meniscus home page.
In particular I am interested in the Continuum II plans. I did some preliminary looking-around a few years ago and determined that this in particular was a mini monitor I'd like to build.
I would also be happy to contribute financially in such an exchange, out of respect for hard earned IP and Mr. Bagby's family.

If you wanted to try a Jeff Baby design that is open source and similar to the Continuums then search for the Revolution or Revolution Mini (with soft dome or Be tweeter, the mini is arguably a better speaker with the smaller satori woofer vs the larger CAC coated aluminium woofer). Other small monitors worth a look could be Paul Carmody’s Carrera and the Ergo IX on Pink Fish Media, both use the Scanspeak Revelator woofer and the Ergo IX uses a similar Morel tweeter to the Continuums.
@wolf_teeth don’t suppose you heard the smaller Satori MW13P as well as the SB15CAC, if so can you let us know what the differences where? I guess it depends if it was the soft dome or Be version of each as well.
I am suggestable 🙂
All the more reason to watch my inbox for notification of published plans sometime in the future
He brought both or 3(?) to various events. There were 2 that were zebrawood man made veneer, and one was twice the size of the other. I think the Mistakes had the cheaper Be Satori tweeter. I don't recall the other 2 tweeter choices except the MW13 was used in both of the different volumes cabs.
The larger was the Revolution, IIRC. I thought the dimensions didn't look right to me. They sounded okay, relaxed even, but the detail of the CAC woofers took the cake for me. I've not really been a MW13P fan used as a woofer though. It is better at midrange alone, IMO. I think it was 2015 or 2016 when he brought the smaller MW13P to Grand Rapids and the Mistakes to InDIYana, so it's been a while.

I never tried the revolution mistakes. Just the original with the soft dome:
