I had to lose mine to buy what I have now but I imagine a "loose wife" could possibly bring in a little extra income to help pay for a set of Jubs.

Jubs. Why? Because I heard one last year in Hope and can't imagine how wonderful a pair must sound. Daydreaming now, Jubs for the fronts, move the Horns to the rear. Keep the Belle doing center duty. Move the Cornwalls to the sides. I would never leave home.

While I don't have extensive listening time to the Jub, I listen to Klipschorns, a Belle, and Cornwalls, every day. I listened to a single Jub in Hope last summer. The easiest way I can describe the difference is that with the KHorn, I know the sound is coming from a speaker. With the Jub, you want to go over to the speaker, stick your head in the big ole horn on top and look around behind them at the musicians. It's almost like the Christmas I was in the first grade, I got a transistor radio when they had first come out. By the time I went back to school on Jan. 3, I was left with nothing but a battery and speaker that made a clicking noise because I had torn the radio apart to figure out how they got those people in there. Listen to a Jub, and you will wonder the same thing. The same bug that bit me in 1973 when I first heard Lascala's, bit me again last summer in Hope. I just hope it doesn't take another 30+ years to scratch this itch.

If they are the ones on Ebay, Run------------------------------------------AWAY. They are a scam. If they are for real, that is about 1/2-1/3 their actual value.

One less now. See ya.

Years ago I lived next door to a guy who worked on CB radios in his garage. My bedroom was about 40' from said garage. He would often awaken me by talking on his radio and I would hear him on my speakers, loud and clear. My stereo was NOT on. A braided shield would have probably stopped that problem. If you need a place to ground the shield at the amp, you should be able to loosen a screw on the cover of the amp and slip a wire connector under the screw and tighten it back down. You may want to do this on the back or the bottom of the amp because you will really need to scrape the paint off the area under the screw so you actually have a good metal to metal ground.

I am interested. How much?

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5434687 I downloaded the ring tone at the beginning of this article and played it on my system attached to my computer. My son was in the back of the house and was in bed. I couldn't hear anything so I turned it up and played it again. I thought I heard something so I turned it up and played it a couple more times. He got out of bed and came in yelling at me wanting to know what that noise was. I asked "what noise". That squealing noise. It was driving him crazy. He has a little tinnitus and the sound was beating with the tone already in his ear. We downloaded it to his cell phone and after playing it about 5 times on his phone, which I couldn't hear either, he said he had a headache and would I please not play it again. He went back to bed. So, hear it, or don't?

Joe, I will take 50 classic rocks with a little classical thrown in. I wish I could take more but sometimes money is funny. But not the money I will send you. :-)

I would be interested in two sets for my 430's. What kind of $'s are we talking? Interest and $'s are directly proportional.

I was born in Crossett. My Dad's parents are buried there.

If the Lascala's didn't come with a tweeter, you may have to add to the crossover so you can add the tweeters to make it work. I would check with Bob Crites, Russelville Ar, and tell him exactly what you have and he can fix you up with what it will take to convert your speakers to the real deal. Once that is done, you will not want anything else hooked up at the same time. Those two will be all you will need.

Check out Eva Cassidy. Not much out there by her because she was taken from us much too soon.

I'm in.

Hey Harley, What did you use for blueprints? I have a buddy that is thinking of building a set of horns. Thanks.
