Yet another sub question. I have a nice isobaric passive sub so I was looking around at subwoofer amps and crossovers again. Many here have recommended the plate subwoofer amps with crossovers from parts express and I have also looked at getting a Carver or Nad amp and then buying the crossover seperately. Obviously the plate amps aren't as high a quality as a Carver or NAD amp but my question is do I need a high quality amp to hit 80 and lower or would a cheaper one be fine? thanks again

Yeah much much better someone must have adjusted the Theremin Unit : )

Mac OS X doesn't require adaware or spyware as it does not have the same huge security holes as windows which require you to run adware/spyware/antivirus/firewall software hmm seems like alot of software needed to safely just to surf the net...... It has seemed slow the last couple days sometimes it just hangs for a while so I just log off so I don't add to the traffic hammering the site.

That I can understand. You are right a diy kit would be very cool for the Jubilee. The industrial version is a monster would love to hear that....

So, Klipsch should gear up for Jubilee production so they can sell three or four pairs a year? Something HAS to be marketable before it can feasably be brought to production -- that is just reality. There is a pro version of the Jubilee. If one was so inclined, they might be able to purchase the bass bin, and then DIY the tops and networks. I do think Klipsch should at least offer the home version of the Jubilee as a kit -- in honor of The Man. ---------------- I believe Klipsch has what it takes to market the Jubilee properly and get it to market perhaps even a limited trial run. Just seems it would be worth it to bring one of PWK's last designs to market. As far as who would pay for it look at what some people spend on speakers. It seems some morons out there think it can't be good if it's not expensive hell I know some. I call it dollar psychosis. I would bet they would sell more than a couple a year. Hell It would be really nice to see something new come out of Hope again.

I guess the computer speaker market is more important grrr. Isn't that one of the last speaker designs he worked on.

Think of the capacitor used to smooth the ripple as a rather small battery. For absoutely clean power, the trick would be to have a large enough battery to supply hours of listening. The environmental issues, weight, cost, and very small difference in performance (possibly detremental as the voltage drops) are all reasons to keep the amps plugged in and make DC voltage in whatever archetecture one is using (tube or SS). ---------------- Correct me if I'm wrong but could I go to bestbuy and buy the biggest battery backup power supply they have fully charge it and then run on batteries when I listen to music and also have conditioned power as well as battery supplied power? Whats the difference in power conditioners for audio and computer applications?

I have a problem with live music venues especially in little rock. I think that alot depends on the sound man and mic placement. I heard a band that played great music but the sound system or the sound man was screwed. The distortion and lack of ability to discern the individual instruments was so bad that I went to the front to see what kind of equipment I was being abused with and it said EV on the side. Then I noticed that the band sounded great up front because I was hearing everything through their monitors. Is it really that hard for a club to have a good sound system?

He should raise the price a little and include the price love the table though. I like the tint of the glass.

How do differnet rectifiers affect sound? What brands are better than others etc? I have a Mullard GZ34 in my pre and RCA black base in my monoblocks was told the rca's were as good as you could get. I have no way to verify. Also how much are tube testers I'd love to know what state my tubes are in or does anyone know of someplace in Arcansaw that test tubes?

Never assume just because something is expensive that it is good. I think I would rather have a pair electronluv pre/amps http://www.electronluv.com/html/amp/845_amplifier.html & http://www.electronluv.com/html/preamp/10line_preamplifier.html . Not sure who posted the moth gear yesterday but that looked really cool as well. Hope it sounds good please let us know.
