Yes you can !

Thanks to everyone for your info and advice. After switching to the 4ohm taps and trying every preamp in the house I definitely like 4ohm vrs 8ohm !

I tried it with the same ohm setting on a K-33 woofer and it read 3.7 so I figured it was set richt.

Why would both the 4 and 8 ohm taps read the same ?

5 ohms doesn't sound right, the DC resistance of that winding should be much smaller. I would make a safe assumption in that the global feedback is being taken from the highest tap i.e. 8 ohms. Open her up and see which tap has the feedback connected to it. The meter reads .5 ohms not 5, which doesn't make sense .

Is the negative tap/terminal identified? If so, most amps I have seen over many years start out with the 4 ohm tap closest to the negative terminal, then 8 ohm, 16, etc. Oh crud, never mind. I just noticed in your photo that it appears the negative terminal is in the middle. So much for that idea, sheesh. My pCats are that way but I have never tried anything but the 8 ohm tap. The sound always strikes me as being thinner with my Jube Clones on 4 ohm taps. I found this to be the opposite with my stock Khorns if memory serves. My pCats were this way and so are my VRD's. 8 ohm taps sound much more pleasing with my current load. Better bottom end, fullness/richness and more balance from top to bottom on the 8 ohm taps. It will not hurt the amps to experiment. Select the tap that sounds more "right" to you. I see no need to go through measuring, curiosity aside. I think I will go throw the Clones on the 4 ohm taps on the VRD's for a listen just because it has been awhile. You never know. Harshness in the highs is what I don't like. The newer amps on the 8 ohm tap is very harsh to my ears.

I have used the Dodd Audio 120wpc monoblocks in my system for a long time. They use EL34's. I just recently purchased a newer set of Dodd Audio 150wpc monoblocks which use the KT77's. Using the marked 8 ohm taps they sounded much brighter which I don't like. I put the EL34's in thinking that would help but it did not. When I got the 120's Dodd told me to use the outside taps and I have always been satisfied. I would ask Gary these questions but he is no longer with us. (RIP) On the 150's the 8 ohm is the inside tap which makes me wonder if I have been using the 4 ohm tap on the 120's all this time and didn't know it. I had myself convinced that the extra power would not change the sound but it has.

I tried measuring each tap and ground and they measured the same 5 ohm which doesn't make sense. I guess it is possible I am using the wrong setting on my ohm meter.

My tube amps have a 4 ohm and a 8 ohm tap but they are not marked. How can I tell which is which ?

I never thought it would take that long. In the end 3 people wanted them at the same time !

These are absolutely a 10 and yes could be moved in the back of a truck.

I think shipping these is not going to be the way to go. I had a deal working with a member in Utah but the shipping was definitely a deal breaker. Hoping for someone closer.

Are you putting glass on there so you have a place to put knick knacks ?

Has anyone ever shipped a set of Jubilee's without original boxes ?

Motivated means that I am now going to sell this is not a feeler ! To you and Schu the price is $6,000.

I didn't decide to sell until the thread came up on wanting to buy. Now I am a motivated seller.

You and me both Mark. I have a plan for you guys ! Each of you buy 1 and be the first one on your block to have a Mono Juubilee system.

Do you have an 8080db ?

Sold !

I am in the DFW area .

I am surprised but it looks like you are the first one to figure that out !

I have a set of 74 verticals that one has a cracked motor board so I pulled all drivers and intended one day to build new cabinets. These might just work !
