Never say never That is so true, however, I wanted people to know up front that it was a pretty strong NEVER so folks should know that going in. I tried to get Roy to do a matching 884 Pro Cinema Sub (aka, The Beast) and you should have heard the laughing on the other end. I figure in about 5 to 10 years he will forget the headaches he had to go through and if he is caught in another moment of weakness will again agree to do some again. Never say never, but timing IS EVERYTHING. Travis

Uh it is Roy, or Blue Berry Boy, or BobCaw Boy that can help you with Jubes, I don't think Professor Thump has any involvement in Jubes, but I may be wrong on that. Roy said he won't ever do another exotic plywood pair again, but as a result they will now veneer the center front panel which was not an option before. I believe that there are a number of wood choices that are possible for that center panel, and if their vendor stocks Bubinga veneer then it would probaby be an option. Kudret was the first person to get his with the venner option and it came out very nice looking. I beleive there is a thread on it with photos, but I will try and post a photo here, unless Kudret beats be to it. You should give Roy a call, you won't be sorry. Travis

Sorry about that, I have been listening for 24 hours straight, NO [bs]. So I'm winding down, big day at work tomorrow, so here are so with the speakers in place. The DCR bass bins are still raw and will be finished over Labor Day weekend with Luther's help. The 402 horns are raw as well and those will be finished with high grade german auto Laq just like the those high dollar german horns are done (the ones that go for over 100K, name escapes me right now). I'm not sure of a color yet, maybe deep burgandy, Luther suggested garnet. I will post more photos after when each phase is done. Here is the first of a few more.

Dtel's, I love reading this thread. Y'all are a class act in every way. I hope I am there at your 50th, and looking forward to the journey over the next 19 years. Travis

Well I finally got around to getting my DCR Jubilles set up, with a lot of help. The DCR KPT-KHJ bass bins are made of African Mahogany, I wanted them in a more exotic finish grade wood because the way my room is situated the first thing you see when you come in is the entire right side of the right speaker. I ordered them about last Feb. or March ('08), Roy Delgado had to pull many strings and go an extra country mile to get these done in exotic plywood and I can not thank him enough. In order to do this he had to redo the cut list (step by step instructions for production team) several times. They are normally 3/4" ply painted in textured black paint and so the existing cut list did not take into account wood grain or other cosmetic factors. In addition, Roy wanted to change the bracing to make it stiffer, and some other minor changes. I'm not sure, but I think there were a couple of "prototypes" that were done before mine were finalized, and mine were built and arrived at the house in around March of this year, where they sat in my garage up until now, much to my wife's chagrin. Eric (SynthFreak) and Luther (Wardsweb) came over yesterday evening to help me get them up the stairs and all hooked up. MeLovesKHorns was on call delivering babys so he missed out on the fun. I was opening the boxes in great anticipation to see if those boxes really contain what they said they contain. As you can see from the posted photos they did in fact contain what they were supposed to. There are a lot of settings to enter on the EV DX-38 crossover, but Eric is a Pro and had everything entered by 11 p.m. and music was rolling. Eric wen home about 2 a.m. and Luther and I listend until about 4 a.m. What incredible sound, I feel so dumb for missing out on this quality while they sat for 5 months. I will be getting the bass bins finished over Labor Day, and the 402 horns will be finished at a friend of Luther's who owns a hign end automotive finish company. Here are some photos to show the process. Travis

"Paul Wilbur Klipsch - The Life...The Legend"
Travis In Austin replied to DTLongo's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I'm not so sure about that, I know what you are saying Mark, I did enjoy a few parts of it, but the patent's are more interesting and better written than the body of the book. Travis -
Any Dove hunters out there??
Travis In Austin replied to winchester21's topic in General Klipsch Info
Like Gilbert said, dove breasts (which is the only part worth eating, and it takes 20 to make a meal), are great with bacon. Heck, why BS, they taste just like liver and the only way to make them edible is to wrap them in bacon, slap on a jalopeno pepper, and grill 'em. Most with have at it like this and gnaw them down to the bone. I prefer to remove the bacon and the pepper, eat those, and toss the breasts to the dogs. I much prefer ostrich over dove any day.
