Hi, as i said (a couple of messages ago) it's in Chieti Scalo (Italy) ca. 200 km far from Rome... It's an unbelievable place, a ca. 2.000 mq. shop as you can realize going on their web site (See the links in the mentioned message) Here you have the rest of that Cinema room [img that's really more modest than the front (6 RS-7...). In the picture the amp are MC, but could also be monos from McIntosh as well as Crown as ML and many others... But, as i said, just to have an idea of the place, let take a look at this system they produce on request: P.S. Coytee, thanks for your reply, i'll answer you later (too busy with my work at the moment), for now i only have to tell you that i really like to cook and eat...italian food of course, i usually cook this so...yeah, it's definitevely a peaty that i didn't post here before last june...[]

Yeah Islander, but the KPT 684 is just one on the right, between the center and the right channel, instead the main+center are exactly a 535-T (not a 535-Jubilee but a 535-T), as you can see on the link you posted [] Infact the three front channels have a dual 15" woofer each, while the sub (684) has two 18", that are considerably bigger, as shown in the picture posted...[] Anyway, the point is that i had the possibility to listen to that system and i didn't, because i spent too much time with the stereo system i posted...[]

I agree with you but you should come to Italy (Chieti, around 200 km far from Rome) so i wish you to find a closer one to you... [] Anyway, as i supposed the system is the KPT 535, which has the same mid-high horns and drivers of the 3ways Jubilee...[]

Wow, how many answers, i didn't expect so many!!! I'll try to go with order, trying to reply to all the aspects coming out in this thread in the meantime, i haven't had occasions to type on the forum for some days because of my work (i've to work hard cause...you know the reason why ). First, i try to explain my point of view on these speakers, in particular why i like them so much without having listened to them: 1. They're Klipsch speakers and the last project of Paul W. Klipsch; OK, obviously i like the brand, as all of you. But the fact that these are the last home project of Paul W. Klipsch really gives to these many points on any other existing model (of any brand i mean) at my eyes. Why? Simply because i really trust and admire P. Klipsch. With medium quality (sometimes low-mid quality) drivers he was able to create good sounding speakers that are on the wave till now, after more than 50 years (more than 60 for KHorns) just with its choices (horns, cabinet design and minimal xovers...). Because of the project, in a word, while other brands have to test unbelievable materials (like diamond, beryllium..) for their drivers to make good sounding speakers 50 years later... WELL, FOR THE MENTIONED REASON LET ME SAY I'LL BE PROUD TO OWN JUBILEE MORE THAN ANY OTHER SPEAKER. 2. They're the best speakers i could buy "on the paper" especially considering the price Unfortunately, despite one mate of ours claim, for me the price IS an issue. If it was not, i probably gonna buy these speakers: http://www.hifidiprinzio.it/pop-ups/sala-5-big.jpg because i auditioned them and they really sound awesome (better than the JBL D66000 Everest and the Wilson Alexandria they had in the same shop, IMHO) but they're over 30.000... And, at (i think) an insane price, you can also have these: http://www.hifidiprinzio.it/Vendita-Hi-FI/casse-tromba3.jpg that are unbelievable (but i only know de relato, i didn't want to listen to that cause i was already shocked by the smaller model...). Ah, just a funny news for Robin: in that sho they have a theater based on KPT speakers!! Here you have: http://www.hifidiprinzio.it/SS2/9.jpg They're not the Jubs but the mid-high should be the same (i realize it only now!!!) So, on the paper, considering the horn speakers on the market, even without considering the point 1., i don't find many (better, any) alternatives to the Jubilee, at that price... 3. They're not so known in Italy, even in audiophile world This is the less important reason, but anyway, it's a reason...it's always beautiful to own something exclusive... Sorry for typing, so much, i'll be back with technical issues (expecialy on crossover/amp) later... Thank you again, see you later...

Hi Robin, i understand what you mean and in general i totally agree with you, you're perfectly right, imho. But, in this case, considering you haven't still had the opportunity to listen to this speaker there in USA, you understand how easy can be to have a listen to it here in Italy...Should be easier to speak with our President! I'm not joking, i really don't know if there's a couple here in Italy (i think not). So...i simply follow the heart!! I like Klipschorn a lot, i don't think i'll be disappointed with these...and in any case, the only other horn speaker i'd prefer to Khorns (it's a custom one) it's really too expensive to me and doesn't have any history, expecially if compared to Jubs... Yeah, i'll follow the heart, as i said... In the worst case, i'll make really happy another italian (but i think that italian will be me...)

Hi guys thanks again to all of you of your answers and your welcome. Well, i realize that living in USA gives you many more opportunities... I'm excited to know that i could buy a REAL Jubilee, directly from Klipsch, even at a very reasonable price (no matter on shipment cost) even if i'll have to wait at least until the end of this year because of my just born son (last december, 19) and because of the fact that i have to completely reproject the room where they have to be placed... In any case, this speaker is definitively my target!!! I've already drown a map of the room in scale, putting in the corners two scale Jubs, printed from the project found here on this forum and...well, i think i can do it! I'll leave more technical questions for a later moment, except for the following (cause i'm planning many changes or, better, adds to my equipment...): assuming i'll choose the version without passive crossovers, what will be the suggested crossover frequency to set on the active external crossover? I'll explain my question later, if needed, but, in a word, i'm looking for alternatives to the Crown crossover... Thanks again for your answers

Hi everybody, a big greet to all of you from the old Italy. As you see, that's my first post here and the question is again on Jubs... Well, i read many threads here on this wonderful speaker (certainly not all an not all the messages) but there's stil something i miss...Going straight to the point, i also read the thread of one lucky mate of us, who had a pair of Jubs as Christmas present from his wonderful wife... Well, it seemed to me that he (his wife) ordered the speakers directly from Klipsch (i saw pics with the Fedex truck...) but, for what i know, these speakers are discontinued at the moment or they even have never been placed on the market except for the pro version (that doesn't seem the one they were talking about in that thread...). Have i understood right or have i misunderstoot or missed up something?!? In any case, what is the price for a couple of 2 ways Jubilees bought directly from Klipsch (if possible) or anywhere else or even built by someone if it's the only choice (except for the drivers, horns & crossovers, of course)? And what about the 3 ways version? I apologize for so many questions and thanks you all in advaance for answering Giovanni
