Travis In Austin

That is so awesome. Congratulations. Probably won't hear from pallpoul for a few days

I'm pretty sure I read about Electromagnetic Radiation Recorders in TapeOp, you are that EMRR? Great to have you on the Klipsch Forum

Thank you for posting this response, I am always interested in hearing about the way things were done in the tape/lp days compared to the modern Era. If you haven't already seen it there is a great interview with Barry Diament where he discusses dynamic rage, the DR websites, being a pioneer in mastering to CD from "master tapes" including EQ'd Limited copies, etc. It can be found here: http://www.audiostream.com/content/qa-barry-diament-soundkeeper-recordings#60JDsjJMLW4isXAS.97

That photo is so awesome. I would never get any work if I knew there was a room filled with stuff like this in the same building I worked in. Hopefully you burned the Sonus Fabers when you were done (just kidding).

Let me guess, you went to a lot of rock concerts in your younger days? Sam Tellig, way back when he reviewed LS II in 2006 said he was just fine with the bass rolling off at about 50hz. He's a "treble" guy apparently. Maybe when you are in Hope we can get Roy to set up a pair of home Jubilees to listen to, you will get Soundstage whether you want it or not, and you will find yourself living in that giant sweet spot. Really glad to see you here. Travis

Well the OP was about saving a $100 on a cooler right?

If he likes vodka martinis he is in for a real treat!!!!!!!

He has owned them all, MCM'S, MWM, Jubes, done them with 402s, I think his preference was with MWM, but not sure. Our.friend, @mark1101 prefers a 3 way with MWM 402/510 horn set up. He may even be at a 4 way now I can't remember. A couple of people prefer the 2 way MWM with 402. If space, WA are not a factor, a lot of people really liked the sounds of MWM with 402.

Roy is always working on a lot of interesting things down at the Boneworks, you never know.

Let me clarify, to my ears, and I have owned and/heard all of these setups, extensively, crush an LS in every respect, including the mid-bass. However, I will say that everyone has certain priorities is terms of what sounds best to them, whether it is conscious or not. Just like with music, or certain instruments. Most people will prefer a speaker with a flat FR, whether they know it or not. This has been studied and published. They can't articulate why they prefer the sound, they just do. I am not anywhere near as technical as @Chris A to the point where I can look at graphs and plots to determine where a particular result may be causing a perceived improvement or shortcoming, I just know what I prefer, and by a wide margin. When LS were last reviewed by Stereophile, the reviewer bought the review pair because he liked them so much. He also added bullet super-tweeters on top to "improve" the HF to the point where he thought it was the perfect combo. He ran it without a sub. To his ears the LF was fine as is, it was the HF that needed a little help. He is the only one I have ever heard of that felt that way. Everyone is listening for a certain thing from a speaker that their ears are attuned to for whatever reason. LS 1's were my first heritage, because of lack of corners, and to me were far superior to H1 or CW. This was back in the day when there were no subs (how did we ever survive ?). There are plenty of folks on here that prefer a CW over a LS, either with or without a sub. People tell them about direct radiators and the advantages of horn loaded bass, etc., but they still prefer the CW. What are your top 2, 3 or 5 reference tracks for the mid-bass you are describing? Maybe I can give those some careful listening to see if I can subjectively pick up on what you are describing. It may be I can't discern this shortcoming and therefore it just doesn't factor in when I listen.

OK so it is bass bin with a Sub. Well I can say, unequivocally, to my ears, a KHJ-LF with 402 and an 1802 or other good quality horn-loaded sub will crush an LS with the same sub. As will a MWM/402 with same sub. I will say that folks who have space limitations have been very pleased with cutting the MF/LF section off of an LS ( or removing it, depending on year of make) putting a 402 on it and running it with a sub. The fact that it was the last speaker that Paul worked on, together with Chief Bonehead, pretty much is icing on the cake.

The premise has changed from the "for sale thread"which was whether Jubilee was an upgrade to Khorn; the response being a preference of LS with a Sub. It is now a comparison of bass bins, I'm guessing with a sub? Why limit the bass bins to Khorn, LaScala and KPT-KHJ-LF. A few people run 402's with MWM. I guess I look at it this way, you can get by with 2 channel music with Junes running without a sub, a great deal of it anyway. Can you get by with just LS without a sub?

I agree with this. The Jubilee two way with 402 is a completely different level. @jason str is the only one I am aware of that has this opinion, which isn't to minimize his opinion in anyway ( he knows what he prefers). However, the vast majority of people of people have heard them have expressed an opinion that it is the best Klipsch speakers they have ever heard, by a wide margin.

Was it Houston? I had forgotten that. The Annexation was one of the causes of the Mexican-American War starting with the Thornton Affair.
