  1. I was working in North Dakota doing FTTH . Went outside to relieve myself because the next neighbor is miles away, find a nice tree to stand by. Start going look over and right next to me was this calf . I started screaming and leaving a yellow stream as I ran. The guy I was working with was at the truck laughing so hard he was crying after he realized what was going on . She was very young but huge ! Much taller than me . In the pic she was several yards behind me and doesn't look that tall.58d5c4280b6c6_Android2015.thumb.jpg.1c78cb12d2d839629726eb1f4066219b.jpg

  2. I agree with billybob completely , I would either put firm on your price or raise it a couple hundred since everyone (including myself if I was closer)will be offering less on craigslist. I would probably just put firm and eliminate most of the senseless Emails although even if you put firm you will still get lowball offers , just not as many .

    I didn't mean I would take less for those but a nonforum member on craigslist , I would definitely try to get a better deal . 

    On the forum I would just pay the price, ignore the ad, or at the most  pm with a very fair offer if I thought the price was a little high :D

  3. RIP.

    My jaw dropped hearing the first album when it came out , it was like nothing else.

    I don't know if it was just me but it seemed like Boston made crappy stereo systems sound great and great ones sound just OK :unsure:

  4. I would think something is wrong . Mine had great bass. I'm stumped as to why yours have never had great bass . I'm with you on the crossover after having checked the drivers, wiring , and cabinet but hard to believe they came with both XO's bad :unsure:

  5. I almost forgot ! You should PM the gentleman that posted the Specs for the KL-396's .

    You might be surprised at what they cost . Klipsch Pro stuff is more affordable than you would think.The focus is more on performance than looks. I have not personally heard them but people that are highly respected have and raved about them

  6. God Bless Heresey's 

    They probably saved Klipsch at one time . I have heard I's II's and some super Heresey's , they all sound great and are amazing for their size. I have not heard Heresey III's  but I have heard RF-7 II's and I have to believe in a large room along with high levels the RF-7's will be a better fit :D

  7. If it were me and given your budget , musical taste and width restrictions . I would be looking for Something along the lines of

    KLF -30'S , KLF-20'S , KLF-10'S , CF-4'S , CF-3'S , RF7'S , RF7 II'S , or KG5.5's . All of them can be bought (Used) somewhere in the range of $1600(pair) and down to probably $350. They would all be much happier with more power than you're using but of course you would have plenty left over in your budget. I have not heard the RP-280'S but if new and hassle free is your thing , I am sure they will do a very nice job as well .

    I was not including the MWM's in my conclusions....

     

    Yes, I've heard a K402 on top of MWM crossed over at 400Hz compared to Jubilee bass bin with K402 crossed over at 400Hz in the same room with the same electronics.

     

    I can easily say, I preferred the MWM setup. 

    Thanks

    I appreciate you sharing your impressions , I don't know if I'll ever get to hear a set of Jubilee's so having input from an experienced and valued forum member helps me figure out which direction I want to go. :D

     

    Jason you are very close to me, you should swing by for a listen some time. I'm about 5 mins from Seth's house

                    Thanks for the reply. I really was curious as I have not heard the Jub bass bin . 

    I do have 3 MCM 1900's  (4Way) which I use now but they came with 2 extra MWM bins and ever since I heard Claudes 402's I have set my sights on getting a pair of 402's to pair with them. They truly are special ! But if a Jub bass bin can out perform or even keep up with a MWM then that is certainly something to consider because the MWM's which I love , made all the friends who helped me move them , inform me Not to call when I want to move them again :lol:  The 2 bass bins I haven't heard and really want to are the jub bin and Claudes 1/4 pies. I do however keep hearing there is no replacement for displacement and as I have gone through the Klipsch lineup it has held true . That being said the Jub is a much newer design than the MWM so I certainly have to consider it's possible.

    I have many opinions on horn loaded bass regarding pros and cons and my experience.  Making from scratch and listening to others.....

     

    Every setup has a compromise.

     

    When the Jubilee is the focus of the discussion....two things come to my mind......

     

    1.  If you want a fully horn loaded system without the use of a subwoofer, the Jubilee "systems" are the best.

    2.  If you want a fully horn loaded 2-way system without the use of a subwoofer, the Jubilee "systems" are the best.

    Have you heard MCM's ?

    Have you heard MWM's with a K-402 ?

    I'm not saying you're wrong as I have seen Jubilee's in Person but they were not hooked up and unfortunately I did not get a chance to listen :( I have heard the other 2 systems and I honestly have a hard time believing that the Jubilee bass bin will out perform a MWM .But I don't know that for sure . Which is why I ask, it would save me alot of floor space :lol:  I will say the K-402 is amazing and I want a pair . I'm sitting on a pair of MWM's which I hope to someday mate with 402's
