Congrats Michael. Long time coming. Certainly worth the wait.

You are funny. 😂 Buy the real ones and try again my friend. I have my own curves till I was blue in the face and Roy's from the chamber as we all do. Basically most of what you stated above is incorrect in my music room.

I have measured mine plenty over the 10+ years I've owned them 🙂. I never said they were flat to 30 but easily achieve the 30s. You said they "can't create frequencies below 60"..........which of course is not right.

My UJ seem to make it down into the 30s no problem. What do you mean 60?

Mark Deneen had a fix for the noise. It was a grounding improvement he made on anyone's unit that got sent back. I had an early unit and probably sent it back to him 3-4 times for upgrades until all was solid. Then I ran it for almost 16 years with no issues whatsoever. I sold it to a guy in California and he blew it up the first week. I sent him the schematics and he ended up getting the rectifier circuit replaced and then sold it to someone else.

Wow.......didn't even skip a beat. A year is not that long I guess.

Well, there you go. A Brent Jessee special.

Well, I have them both set up in the same room. Both are excellent in different ways. I'll just say that the underground Jub is a much newer design and leave it at that. But this setup offered for sale here will outdo pretty much everything Klipsch ever made with a few exceptions. I never thought I would see an almost brand new version of what I already own. My stuff is old. Someone needs to grab this up at $4K which is a great price. Find the room later.

I had hiss too. I agree playing with the gains could affect and minimize it. I loved my Peach for many years. But what made the hiss go away almost completely was that I had Mark convert it to 6H30 from 6922/6DJ8. The 6922 family had more 3D/holographic presentation (but noisey tubes), and the 6H30 was cleaner but less imaging. if you could find a really clean sounding 6922 that was the way to go. Better imaging.

On the Peach I had the volume control was Alps (nice!), but the channel gains were just basic pots.

This is a beautiful setup. Looks brand new. I reduced my own MCM setup to a 2-way like this (plus subs). Awesome to say the least. Somebody needs to grab this setup.

If someone installed stepped attentuators they should be better (less distortion) than the original pots.

Something's weird about the boxes. Look at the boxes in the very first picture. One says "4592 middle", and the other says "coaxial". Weird.

Minor correction. I don't believe those are 4592ND (midrange and tweeter coaxial). I believe they are just 4592 (midrange only).

You finally got to hear them outside. That's awesome. 👍

You could have a mismatch between the Yamaha and the Klipsch. Some solid state equipment just sounds like crap with Klipsch. Ever try tubes? Softer driving electronics will change for the better. You could even give one of those low cost Class D amps from Parts Express a try.

Honestly, this is par for the course these days. Klipsch could probably make substitutes to get things out the door faster, or cheapen the product. But it sounds like they don't/won't do that. I do remember Roy stating that the plant could not do both the 75th Khorn builds and the Jubs at the same time. Maybe there are a lot of Khorn orders.

I'd erase the pics too if I had to run K's in the center of my living room. Two corners, 4 speakers. What's a man to do? 🙂

The DSP.............

So you have Jubs plus those new Ks?

There will always be doubters. But it's OK.

I had been looking at SE84UFO for a long time. Never had a set amp. I ordered a pair to try. See you guys in a couple of years.

MMurg...........Do you have your new Jubs yet?

What are you using them in? I have a matched quad of EH 7591. They are not as small as the JJ or Tungsol. They touched my transformers in a Scott LK-72 but I ran them that way for a while and there were no issues. Anyhow.........used but test good, for $65 shipped.

Great pics. Incredible history. There are speakers I had no idea existed. Man, PWK tried everything. Wish I could have been there. Outdoor Jubs.......the videos actually sound pretty good on my laptop. I hope it wasn't too cold out.
