  1. After I complete the two dimensional model I'll be able to get a more accurate set of drawings. Hopefully someone on the forum with a cad program would be willing help me out with it. Big D
  2. They are stacked and use seperate flares until they get to point C. then they combine to point D. Big D
  3. Thanks Marvel, It appears I should build as is with no changes. Leave well enough alone. Big D
  4. 2 "live" drivers it is. No passive. Big D
  5. One other issue. I have heard mention of passive radiators used in the "home version". From the design in the AES paper, There are only 2 places I could imagine them. (1) Placed in between the 2 woofer chambers, but it seems to me the effect would be cancelled as the woofers work in tandom. (2)In the woofer doors. Any place else would cause a radical change in design. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Big D
  6. D-man, I thought of that to. Did some drawings on graph paper and it showed the opposite effect. the area before the turn is larger(3 3/4) than the 3 inches determined in the AES paper at point C. Big D
  7. 3D, looking at the second pic (jubilee ,would this allow a better transition to the third leg of the flare? Big D
  8. This is what I came up with. Makes things more difficult but it keeps the flare more constant. Big D Sorry about the pic
  9. Thanks Q-man I just wanted to be sure about the plywood. It will make a difference in getting lengths and angles correct. Big D
  10. One more question. Should the Jubilee be built in the k-horn tradition using 1/2 inch plywood for the interior parts and 3/4 inch ply for all the exterior parts? Or should 3/4 inch be used throughout?
  11. Hi all, I built a pair of k-horns a few years ago and so far been very happy with them. Now I think I'm ready to tackle the Jubilee. The Jubilee appears to be alot simplier to build. I have already draw up the cut sheets and am going to put together a two dimensional model to determine all the lengths and angles. After studing the AES paper from 2000, everything seems to be pretty straight forward. But, I do have a few questions. (1)Just before the second turn in the flare(see pic)it seems to get "choked off" alittle. The flare seems constant until it reaches that point. Is this part the design or was it a compromise? (2) I figure the mouth opening on the motorboard should be 2 3/8 by the inside diameter of the woofer. Is this correct? The image was taken from the AES paper and may not be to any kind of scale. So the first question may be for naught. So anyone with expertise in this area, info would be greatly appreciated.
  12. And I supplied the original logo the mold was made from.
  13. I live in a military town so pawn shops are plenty(about 14).CD's are $1.50 at most and DVD'S are between $5 and $7. Selection is limited, but i find a good score once in awhile. Usually take one saturday a month and hit them all. Also a good source for used gear. Both sets of my Heresy's came from the PS. Big D
  14. While we're on the subject. Does anyone have the pic of PWK standing next to the Jubilee? Big D
  15. Brett, Congrats on the new acquisition. Here are a few pages from a Klipsch pamphlet showing the different finishes and grill cloths available in the mid to late 70's(I think). Darrell
  16. I am currently using a 2100 with my khorns. I've used several other SS amps and the MAC gets the thumbs up from me. Big "D"
  17. This is from an older klipsch brochure. Hope it helps. Darrell
  18. I have an STR-DE915. In the surround set-up index is a volume setting for the subwoofer. Not sure if your model has this feature. It's worth a look.

  20. One of my favorites is "Frank Sinatra sings the select Johnny Mercer". Released in 1996, digitally remastered, on Capital records. Awesome recording. The khorns love it. Darrell
  21. Swells Welcome to the forum. I built a pair of khorns about 2 years ago and have been extremly happy with them to date. I put together a disc with all my research and drawings with assembly instructions. These are the ones Dylan1 has referenced. If you would like a copy please feel free to drop me an email. Darrell
  22. Hi Tom, Your Belle project looks like its coming along nicely. I built Khorns about two years ago, so I know what your going through. Keep up the good work and keep those pictures coming. Big D
