    Marion, That is just amazing. Congrats. Looks fantastic and I can only imagine how good it sounds. So are you using active on the rears and center? What processor?

    Yes, I'm using a Crown USM-810 for the rears, Danley's and the 2 front Jube bass bins (without horns). Passives are used for the front left, right and center.

    Thanks for all the compliments from everyone.

    A special thanks to Mike TN (mikebse2a3) for comming this past weekend to help get it all tuned up.

    Oh, and for my wife Beck for liking this stuff as much as I do and helping in all the builds.

    The front three Jubs is serious stuff. Add the Danley DTS-10 subs and it's killer! Jub as surrounds? Are you freaking kidding? What about the extra Jub bass bins up front? What are those for?

    Are all the Jubs run passively with those massiave crossovers? Or are some active as well?

    How big is that screen? It is 2.35:1?

    It all looks amazing! Best on the forum as far as my tastes run!

    See 4 post up. You were probably post at the same time I was writing it.

    The front left and right Jubilee's are 'clones' we built about 5 years ago.

    All of the other 5 are factory built.

    Behind the left and right Jubilee's are Danley DTS-10's which we built from kits.

    The crossovers you see on the sidewalls were built by us to Roy's schematic using the best components we could find.

    Following is the way the speakers are used:

    FOR MUSIC:

    Front L & R and Center Jubilee's with 402/TAD 4002 are powered by WE-300B Mono Blocks built from scratch.

    The other front Jubilee Bass Bins are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 20 HZ to 55 HZ with EQ to add only the frequency's needed to obtain a flat response down to 20 HZ.

    The rear Jubilee Bass Bins, also powered by Crown K1, are adding a little boost at 32 HZ only.

    The preamp is a scratch built Berman 76 with a custom phono section designed by K&K Audio.

    Turntable is a VPI Aries II with Ortofon Jubilee cartridge.

    CD Player is Jolida feeding a K&K Audio extreme RAK DAC

    FOR HOME THEATER:

    Front L & R are powered by a Crown D-300A Series II with speakers set to small.

    Center is powered by a Crown D-150A Series II in Mono.


    The other front Jubilee Bass Bins are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 30 HZ to 80 HZ

    The Danley's are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 10 HZ to 40 HZ

    The rear Jubilee Bass Bins, also powered by Crown K1, and the 501/K69 horn is powered by a Crown D-150A series II

    The preamp processor is a McIntosh MX-135

    Blu-Ray player is an OPPO Special Edition

    Screen is 110" Seymour Acoustically Transparent

    For both Music and HT:

    The sub processing and rear are handled by a USM-810. The bass is tamed by a analog Rives Parc Unit.

    I agree that live sound is a good measure for evaluating the reproduction of sound, even amplified live sound. But am I the only one here who sees a discrepancy between "no need for tone controls" line of thinking and the severe manipulation of the tone necessary to make Klipsch Jubilees work properly?

    I know some of you here hate it when I bring this subject up, but is there really much difference between adding loudness and presence to Blastophonic 88's and the EQ curve added to Klipsch Jubilees?

    I like the hard line stance that PWK held with the design of his loudspeakers, including the idea that they reproduced music accurately, without the need for tone controls. It seems to me that the current thinking with some Klipschophiles, is that there is a better way through the use of electronic signal manipulation, and I believe that puts them at direct odds with the way PWK thought about speaker design.

    Do you want to sell your Jubilees or 402s. I am interested if so!

    Wow- that is a showstopper- Could the speakers/system be the difference-maybe the mids sound better with this source on Gary's K horns?

    Different tastes on vinyl for sure. A friend thinks my Orbison's greatest hits(which I love) sounds just okay. On the other hand I think his Doors- electra records- sounds awful. Go figure

    Yea, I suspect it is a system difference. My wife is a big CCR fan
    and walked out of the room on the first Lp.

    We will try again tonight
    at a lower volume and if we feel the same way we will offer the set for
    sale for $150.
