  1. sold through CL had to include the mid/high cabinets, a BBE Max3 electronic crossover, and a RGR Model 4 preamp in the deal. Talk about losing my butt,...life stinks sometimes.
  2. sold locally on CL. I got them sounding so good the day I sold them
  3. I modified the original ad to include the Behringer iNuke 6000 watt amp ( yeah, I know it is only 5K watts at best )
  4. Yes, walnut oiled, and they are a really great design. It is fun to hear the output when hooked up to a cheap garage sale receiver. Saddens my deeply beyond words to get rid of them, as they were my rear speakers in my bedroom system...the bedroom "rocked"
  5. The Jubilee cabinets are listed at 260 lbs. so I would imagine they would be more around 300 lbs as the Eminence magnets are bigger than the Klipsch from what I remember. The Eminence drivers are 22.7 lbs each I shipped a 1943 RCA Ubangi bass cabinet several years ago to a guy in Vegas so that he could have 2 of them in his shop. It was 7 feet long and 445 lbs. Loaded it up on a pallet in my garage,by myself. Large box truck came with a tail lift gate and took it away. Wiring them in series would give you a 16ohm load, that's going the wrong way for me. When I auditioned the Jamboree speakers in Atlanta it was proven quickly that low power gave low dynamics. Mark's tube amp just wouldn't cut it, so we switched over to the more powerful SS amp and it was quite obvious of the power requirements. These are like most other dual 15" cabinets, they NEED power to give authoritative bass slam.
  6. Again selling all my audio gear to survive on SS Disability( mine was granted 3 weeks after I applied, which is unheard of, but they make you wait 5 months before you get the first check...try that in your household). Everyone on here knows about these. There is one very small chip in the veneer on the top back corner of one speaker, otherwise they are in excellent condition. Checked on Fleabay and they are going from $400.00 with $125.00 shipping to $550.00 including shipping. I'm in Denver, NC ( above Charlotte ) Asking $350.00 and it might be in your favor to give me your address if interested and have me give you actual shipping costs....as the interested buyer will likely be on the West Coast
  7. I built open baffle units using (2) Audax 100db eff high quality PR170MO units close coupled to give about 104db eff in parallel. This is the same midrange driver used in the Jadis Eurythmie speakers ( 37K per pair ) http://www.stereophile.com/content/jadis-eurythmie-ii-loudspeaker#yCvmCQAV8fPm1SD2.97 and the famous Waveform Mach 17 speakers: http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/697waveform/#FgozmizOZ1gPp0kT.97 They will cover almost ruler flat from 400 hz to 5K hz. I used a Ciare 105db eff. bullet tweeter that handles 40 watts continuous,with a 6 1/2" diameter flange and goes out to 20K. Cabinets were easy as I used Honduras Mahogany for the sides: These will also need to be sold but I don't know what to put on them for a price. Whatever it is, I will be 100% sure to lose my butt on them I got this setup from a member on the Altec Lansing forum who was burned out on horn top end units and wanted higher fidelity.
  8. I have lately been running an iNuke 6000 with it, and unfortunately I will include it just to sell it. Wiped out all the savings this month and next month will be a negative balance of $600.00 Guys/gals, take note of this. I did 30 years of multi-craft facilities mechanics, then 2 years ago went to work assembling SPL woofers for a friends company. Next thing I know I'm unable to pick up the 75lb magnets to get them on the build table, within a year I lost about 70% of my muscles in my arms and legs due to my body attacking my nerves and destroying 95% of my nerves in those areas. Now I'm using a walker to get around and cannot open a zip-lock bag without pliers on one side and my teeth on the other. So don't live your life maxed out with no savings. And don't count on a private disability policy as they will do everything they can to dismiss your claim to ensure their corporate profits. And you will be amazed at how fast your medical bills can add up ( mine are at 15K within the last 18 months )...and all this happens "when you least expect it"
  9. No huffing at all. I think it was 10.32 per cabinet (22" high x 44" wide x 22" deep internally) The two cabinets are bolted together.
  10. I am having to sell all my audio coveted audio that I said I'd never sell due to having become disabled with CIDP. I had these built by a cabinetmaker several years ago and have never fired them up. They are sprayed with black lacquer. They have Eminence Omega Pro drivers as suggested by the original designer that I got the plans from. They have Tara Labs internal wiring (wired in parallel) and the huge Madisound terminals on the back that will accept 4 gauge wire ( if I remember correctly). Unfortunately the front panels will need to be made again by the buyer. The original had T-nuts in cleats inside the cabinet section which proved not to hold as well as I had expected, so I removed them and the cleats. Now during the last move I haven't located the original panels, but making new ones out of birch plywood will not be hard and will give you the chance to veneer them at that time. I am located in Denver, NC which is above Charlotte. Price is $1,000 obo 704-516-7493 cell Marty Marty
