The good news is that she really isn't too far behind me in age. Her younger sisters look older than she does. I'll be VERY happy once it IS all worked out. []

I'm 59 and going on 24...

Just the three, but the two on the left are each married with a new baby each. This was two years ago...

Is it coming out of one speaker or both? If it is only coming out of one side, reverse the speaker leads (power off first!) and listem to the same track again. If it switches sides, it could still be the speaker, but perhaps it is something on the track itself. Have you played this same cut on another good system and had a listen? I've had that happen before. Maybe something rattling in the studio. The testing it free. Bruce EDIT: Wow... I just listened to that track and right at 4:00 min into the song there is some impressively low bass. I think it might make most speakers rattle. [:|]

That D250-X rolls off very fast...

Absolutely great! One of my all time favorites.

That is one of the reasons many are using the XTIs. Roy has provided settings for different combinations of the bass bin andtop horn/driver, i.e., 402/K-69, 510/K-69, 402/TAD. He even came up with a no holds barred passive. I think they ended up about 18x24 inches... [:|]

Without taking sides in this, it should also be pointed out that Snopes has been known to do a bit of embellishing of their own.

Any would do...the one on the right just a little faster. []

People tend to hype what they like, or what they own. I love my LaScalas, but have also heard a pair of Jubilees. I would love a pair, but just don't have the money. Bruce

The Jamboree is NOT a Klipsch designed speaker. It was designed by Dana Moore (mostly), a former forum member. He lives in Seattle, WA. He has applied for patents on some of his designs. He has also been accused of stealing ideas from other forum members.So, to answer your first question - no one knows. The answer to your second question is 'no'. He doesn't have a company to build or market his speakers. Klipsch, however, does have a real company and marketing department. A great wood shop - I think all the pro stuff is still made in Hope, AR, the original HQ for Klipsch. For sure, all the Heritage line is made there (Khorn, LaScala, Cornwall and Heresy lines) Bruce

Bill, That was an excellent repsonse. I just had a two day visit from an old friend of mine, who works at the U.S. Army Military Heritage Museum in Carlisle, PA. They recently finished a replica of a Vietnam War era camp, full scale, outdoors. At the ribbon cutting, were Joseph Galloway, the reporter who was with Gen. Hal Moore during one of the more famous battles of the Vietnam War. Bill Beck, Russell Adams and many others were in attendance. If you have never seen "We were soldiers once", it is a must see. The book, by Moore and Galloway, was translated into Vietnamese, and was such an honest enough writing that many of our vets were allowed to return in 1993 to revisit some of the battle sites and meet with surviving 'enemy'. I am thankful that the people of our nation have, for the most part, come to realize we can honor the men and women who serve, whether we like a particular war or not. Bruce

Hopefully, you loosened and retightened all the screws on the crossover. That may have been all that was necessary.

I'm jealous... I was happy to have a 1.8 85mm lens. What a wonderful piece of glass it was. Almost perfect for portraits. Went throughan awful summer with no airconditioning and high humidity, and ended up with mold inside the lens. I was told the cost to repair would be high. Basically the lens would be disassembled, all the lens' polished and recoated and put back togther. I still have a filter on my Nikon lenses. The little Canon doesn't allow, as the lens gets sucked into the camera. Bruce

I am sure that Klipsch would be abel to tell you which of the theaters have Jubilees as part of the total package, but it probably wouldn't be worth their time. The point has been made, erroneously I believe, that you want a theater that has only Jubilees.Since a theater setup has multiple speakers, you won't find that anywhere. In ay case, they would be a part of the fronts, and would be hidden behind he screen (as has been mentioned). The sides and rear speakers in a full blown theater system will be smaller. Reading the logos on those is hard enough. The other problem here is that the cinema version is configured as a three way, with the bass bin the only one with the same drivers. The eq is set to sound correct through the screen, so most at home (other than Bill Hendrix) don't have them behind a screen and are set up as two way systems. I would say that most theaters are able to have great sound, but the staff mess with it. Whether the systems are JBL or Klipsch, they should all sound good. Many do not. I have been in too many theaters where the side surrounds sound fuzzy and distorted. It could be overall lack of maintenance, a bad print, or blown components. You never know for sure. If you've looked at the list, you know that there are lots of Klipsch professional products out there to hear. If you want to hear some in a home, you have to play nice. There have been a lot of folks who have opened up their homes to have folks come and listen.However, it means being a little more forthcoming with who you are, what you really want, blah blah blah.....

Actually, they are at your local multiplex. Well, maybe not near you, but they might be.Look here at the Commercial Klipsch gear, and on page two, you will find the KPT-Jubilee 535 stage system http://www.klipsch.com/products/lists/professional-cinema.aspx Most are using them as two way systems in their homes. Someone around here has a list of theaters where Klipsch systems are installed. You could go check out a movie or two at one of them if close by your location. Bruce

I've mentioned using a cone for the mid driver before (or upper bass). I've got four 5" Galaxy Audio speakers sitting here to test out, but I'm not sure if they are efficient enough.Power handling: 100 watts RMS/140 watts max * Voice coil diameter: 1" * Impedance: 8 ohms * Frequency response: 200-18,000 Hz * Magnet weight: 40 oz. * Fs: 140 Hz * SPL: 92 dB 1W/1m * Vas: .24 cu. ft. * Qms: 1.34 * Qes: .38 * Qts: .30 * Net weight: 3 lbs. * Dimensions: A: 4-3/4", B: must be rear or flush mounted, C: 2-3/8", D: 4", E: 1-1/8" I was thinking of 250Hz up, or even 300Hz. These things aren't expensive at all. ($37 at PE) They also make a slightly more efficient model with neodymium magnets for $49.

I put some APT-150 tweeters on top of my LS, and the difference is HUGE! It is the same APT-50 driver on a 100x50 horn. I still have Bob's CT125s mounted in the cabinet.

My question is... how does it sound to you? What are your ears hearing? Bruce

I thought you live in a 'new' house? [*-)]

I have the sameTT, and it works well fo me. Still need to get a better cartridge, as mine is an inexpensive on, the name of which I won't mention. It has never failed or caused me any problems. It is a direct drive, and mine is very smooth running. Bruce

I certainly hope you didn't spend too much political capital on helping folks get Jubilees into their homes. You don't want to win the battle and still lose the war.

I owned a National Steel resonator guitar that had a phenolic neck. It finally did warp some, but I don't really fault the phenolic.

Nice! My gf (with me in my avatar on a trip to Ireland in August) is from Palawan. Neither of us swim, lol. I'm not sure yet just where we will end up.

Never use and foreign word when an English word is more apropos!
