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 !

Your meter might not have the resolution to read the difference. What meter is it? Use the lowest resistance setting for better resolution. For example your meter say .5 for both taps on one setting but on another it might read 508 for one and 585 for the other.
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.

.5 ohms makes much more sense than 5 ohms.
Why would both the 4 and 8 ohm taps read the same ?
-
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.
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 .

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

Congrats on the sale. Hard to believe it took as long as it did!
I never thought it would take that long. In the end 3 people wanted them at the same time !

How would you grade these on a 10 point scale cosmetically?
Think I could move these in the back of a pickup truck?
I'm interested. These would finally put an end to my constant upgrading of Klipsch speakers.
These are absolutely a 10 and yes could be moved in the back of a truck.

I would go to somewhere like Walmart and get some watermelon cases. They are about 4 ply. Buy some 2"HD foamboard to cover the speakers, then cardboard strapped to pallets. Throw some stretch film on and they should be good to go

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.

I'm interested in putting smoked glass tops on my Ks, but really don't know what a fair price is. The local glass company quoted me $265 each for 1/4 inch and $540 each for 3/8. Does anyone know of a company online, and do these prices seem high or is it just me being cheap?
TY
Mark
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 ?

How motivated?
I'll give you 4k cash, are you that motivated?
:D Mark
Motivated means that I am now going to sell this is not a feeler ! To you and Schu the price is $6,000.
-
Very nice! If I hadn't just picked up Cornman's Jubilees, I would definitely be buying yours. Then I wouldn't have to worry about staining the front panel! Funny how things work soemtimes. Good luck with your sale.
I didn't decide to sell until the thread came up on wanting to buy. Now I am a motivated seller.
-
I wish I could swing it right now
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.

Well it looks like Davis419b sent you a PM, you may be well on your way.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, or if you want to try and take a listen.
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 !
