If my memory is correct, I remember Roy saying during our conversations about the 1502 during the time of the pilgrimage was they had achieved an extremely close frequency response that extended as low as the 1802 with just 2db to 3db less max spl output.
miketn
Your memory is correct.

Anyone know if Roy can give settings on XILICA active crossover for the 3 way Jubilee? Anyone have Roy's email address so I can ask him this question?
Did you ask @MetropolisLakeOutfitters?

No we didn't do the finishing work this same weekend. The sub has been here a couple of weeks.
Rough calculation is about 70' of edge banding. Dtel can probably give a more accurate measurement.

Not yet in production. With all the interest it's gaining, hopefully soon!

@mikebse2a3 I was thinking the same thing this morning. Those 396s paired with this sub would be an awesome home set up.
This sub was raw birch when we started. Elden did some finishing work on it. Stained and added veneer edge banding. Here's the before.

I can only think of one other place that sub would be at home - yup, my house. Very glad both of you are happy with it and please tell @Chief bonehead he needs to make me one.
I love when something new makes you rediscover music that you already have and using it for movies is icing on the cake.
Who did the finish? It looks really good.
@Ole Dollar, I'm hoping these go into production soon.
The finishing work was a joint effort between Elden and I. We had to mix two stains together to get the color we wanted. Of course, he did the actual finishing "work"!

This sound like a lot of fun. I am glad to here you guys had a good time!
@derrickdj1 it's always a lot of fun when we all get together. We usually try to meet up regularly, probably once a month or so. Sometimes it's @kharmondds, sometimes here and pretty often @Chief bonehead's because we go to Hope, AR regularly to work on the museum.
A huge shoutout to @MetropolisLakeOutfitters for his generosity, quick service and friendship. If you guys are looking to purchase any gear talk to Cory. He's an authorized dealer for Klipsch, as well as an authorized dealer for other audio gear!
We needed help with the sub install and it was dtel's birthday weekend so it worked out great that we all got together here.
Guys, this sub is amazing. It's really difficult to describe. Very musical. The bass is tight, clear and concise.

Looks like an awesome weekend!
What did you do with your Danley clone?
It's going to my daughter's new house along with some other gear we're giving her!
@CECAA850 every sub needs to grow up and become a 1502!

@Chief bonehead gave dtel and I his prototype 1502 sub and came down this weekend to help with the install. While he was here he made some other adjustments to our system.
I want to give Roy a big thank you for the sub woofer, help with the install and adjustments to our system. More importantly I want to thank him for the new found love I have for our gear.
I am so impressed with the performance of this sub woofer. The only way to describe it is "musical". It takes bass to a whole new level.
We put the sub through its paces by watching X-Men Apocalypse. The sofa was literally vibrating! We walked outside to take a break and the exterior walls were shaking.

Happy Birthday Dtel
Does Roy know it's your birthday and is he close by...? Maybe he will have another special surprise to give you.....again
Christy not the jealous type is she...?

So, Elden saw this post. Walked outside where I was sitting and asked, "What was Mike talking about!" I reminded him of the "incident" you were referring to....he said "Yea, I thought that too, but was hoping it was something else!"
I seriously was laughing... like anyone could "unsee" that. Roy did it it once and got away with it, so we set it up for the second go around when I got it on video. It isn't very often we can get one over on dtel, but that was absolutely perfect!
@Chief bonehead isn't anywhere close by, but will be soon!

When you play the Bob Marley tunes, please DO NOT let him dance in public places
It's the "special" visitors I have to watch out for! Dtel isn't the "dancing" type...well normally he isn't.

Happy Birthday Elden. Nice pic there. Any birthday dinners planned? Your daughter must be just like you, more likes than posts, that's a good sign
We will be celebrating his birthday this weekend with some "special" visitors, our girls and family. I'll post pics!
Happy birthday to my one and only. I'm so blessed to have spent the past forty years celebrating birthdays with you. Love you! "I'm so lucky!" Can't think of anyone I would rather celebrate birthdays with!
Thabk you for posting @Dtelsdaughter By the way your old moniker was @just_like_dtel! Love you Jennifer!

Oh,and deer aren't much higher than road hazards.... I wish they could disappear from around where I live. Heck, we have 15/20 in the field in front of the house nightly and my dogs (which we walk on leash at night) think their droppings are little grapes or something and go after them....
Be prepared...Elden and I are determined to drop in on you one day during our travels! We've discussed it several times.

If you can get to Knoxville, TN area, I have two of them (dual drivers each) that do NOT have any drivers....that you could have for free.
So, for the cost of the drivers alone, you could have a nice foundation.
This is exactly how we got hooked on MWMs, thank you @mark1101!
By the way, seeing that herd of deer when we woke up the next morning was awesome. Tell Kim I said hi!!!

I haven't heard a single person that purchased them say they don't love them! Please correct me if I'm wrong.

They're fantastic sounding speakers but not practical for 99.99% of the population. They're also not advertised so they're popularity for home use is strictly word of mouth. Audition???? Fogeddaboutit.
Guess we need to get a map together of Jub owners so folks can audition them! Same thing some say about MWM/402.
I think MWMs/402s fit in rather good here! Almost forgot... @CECAA850 you have visited this room

Outside of fanatics and people who don't mind refrigerator sized speakers, there's not a huge demand.
The demand has increased dramatically in the last year, but they are still considered a special order product.

It's my understanding they will be going into production, just a question of when that will happen. They are "under patent".
The 1802s are already in production
