  1. A pair of3 way passive crossovers for Jubilee speakers,quality parts and build quality that I bought from a forum member that only does things first rate.I bought these crossovers with the hope of finding a pair of Jubilee clones or original jubilee speakers,I have too many speakers and other pieces of audio gear and I need to thin out something.I am asking 450.00 plus shipping,these are large and heavy and will be expensive to ship.Pictured is 1 crossover ,but I am selling 2

  2. McIntosh MC-240 40 watt per channel tube amp, all original and in good to very good condition,nice shiny chrome and nice paint on transformers,the only down side is most letters missing .I just put new old stock small tubes in the amp and I played it with my Klipschorns and amp sounds great.Price is 2400.00 and I am in Sevierville,Tn

  3. Nasty cold day so I thought I would swap out my Crites CT-125's for the Beyma CP-25's,I was not expecting much of a difference,but the CP-25's and I really like the sound of these tweeters.to my ears they have a more open sound and are smoother sounding with more detail..I also have a pair of B&C DE-120-8 fastrac tweeters I may try later,one of the things I like about Klipschorns is being able to swap out drivers and crossovers and make adjustments to sound.I have 2 pair of Klipschorns,1 pair 1980 vintage with no mods and 1 pair that have been modded with crite woofers,Volti VTK-400 crossovers,JBL 2446h midranges,Beyma CP-25 tweeters and tractrix 2"midrange horns.When I have friends over and I play my  1980 vintage pair they comment on how nice they sound and think I am crazy for having 2 pairs of Klipschorns,then I take them to the next room and they hear my modded pair and then they are blown away with the deep bass and how more opened and detailed the sound is.I now have made tweeter swap out today and everything is even better.

    I was online this summer and and a guy from Canada has a pair of Jubilee clones and if they had been in the US I would have bought them,do I have room for them, no but it would have been nice to have them .Last month I missed a chance to buy a pair of ADS -L-2030 towers,My wife asked when will it end will have speakers,amps,turntables and wires in every room and closets in our basement.I could not give her an honest answer.We did compromised and I agreed to sell the 2 KPT-684 subwoofers I bought last month and then who knows maybe I can stall her until we find a place to use them.I can't help myself I love music and I love audio systems,does not matter if it is current gear or vintage,does not matter if it is a small start up system or a mega system.I know I had it bad when the last 2 purchases I made off the Klipsch forum,the members had large garages out back of thier homes and I started looking at building a garage like that or find a home with one already there.Now if that is not addicted I don't know what is.

  5. In Jan I changed the egr valve and alternator last week it started to misfire and since then I have completed a major tune up with plugs,wires,coil pack and removed and cleaned the mpair mass unit,sensor and throttle body,I have checked for bad hoses and I plan on today looking for bad grounds and again look at all the hoses.Thanks everyone for their input.I was lucky that the van acted up 1 mile from home.I was going to use the van to make a trip to Georgia to pickup a pair of KPT-684's.I had to use my Sienna van to make the trip and when I finished loading the speakers the van was full.
