Thanks for the link. I have studied the photo's. To make the E plate in this way it's better. The construction is now more firm. There is also a opening to the L en M space. The volume is now bigger than in the orinal klipsch as far I know. I asume that you know wich plates I mean. In all the drawing plans I've seen, the names of the pieces/plates are the same.

I do not agree with you. Maybe the horn looks simpeler. The problem is the exponential curve of the horn. To calculate that curve you must use complicated mathematic formula's for example ; AH = pi r2 = pi.0,125 =0,049m and a couple of other formula's. Because of the round curve, the mitres and bevels are also curved. So you can't use a mitre saw and a table saw. A K-horn has more pieces, but you can saw it normaly.

A lot of information you gave me about horns is new for me. Quite interesting. I'm impressed by that very big straight horn. What a skill to make that. To make the curve of horn, wat is essential, must be very difficult. One thing is sure, that thing I can't make. It seems that the horn is about 3 meter long. (a part of it is hidden behind the wall).

Lets see if its works. I use google chrome as browser. I'm gonna search more information about the jubilee. What I have red sofare, there's more advanced electronic components. Two woofers ect. The jubilee would also have less bevels and mitres and there fore easier to build. That could mean it is no longer a horn loudspeaker. A horn loudspeaker is exponential and must have because of that a great number of bevels and mitres. I will try fo find the answers in the forum. No doubt there must be a lot of information. I don't know what they cost in the netherlands. But i'm sure its a lot more than 5200 euro. This amount must be raised with transportation cost America to Europa; border money ; money for the importeur and at last the dealer. As far as I know, there's only one dealer in the Netherlands who sells k-horn and perhaps jubilee. Radio Correct in Rotterdam. I'll have a look there soon. Peter

Sorry that my posts are a bit messy to read. When I make my post, I make a structure in the text by not putting all the lines behind each other. And I make open spaces between each subject. But the software of the forum puts all the lines behind each other, wich makes it nog pleasant to read.

Some members have built their own Jubilees and are happily enjoying them, while one or two others have built a number of Jubilees, some made with questionable precision, and offered them for sale. Since the Jubilee is a current production model, that does not go over very well with Klipsch management, nor with some forum members. I suggest you continue to learn about the Jubilee. Information is available, but it's best to respect Klipsch's position. For them, every Jubilee built at home is a sale lost, and it's not a big seller in the first place. I took my conclusion of not give drawing plans from what Islander wrote. Which I can understand. Nobody wants to have troubles with the Klipsch company. Your reply makes clear why there are mistakes in the drawing plans. Peter

I will respect the policy of this forum not to handover drawing plans. I understand the reason behind that. This makes it for me impossible to make the jublilee. As I said earlier, the price to buy the K horn or jubilee is for me way tot high. So I'm gonna make a K-horn. I've got three seperate drawing plans with some differences here and there. The biggest problems are the L en M pieces. The bevels of those pieces I can calculate. Plate K has a bevel of 30 degree. The underside of plate M has a bevel of 45 degree. Plate M is perpendicular on plate K. So the bevel of plate M is 30 x 45/90 = 15 degree. (in the drawing plan from the internet stood 25% degree. Not correct!) The underside of plate L has an angle of 30 degree.. So the longside bevel is 30 x 30/90 = 10 degree. The only problem are the mitres. I don't know how to calculate that. Well with experimentation with cheap thin board-plate, this problem can be solved too. It only takes a litle bit time. But that is no problem. Thanks all of you. Peter

Thank you all for replying. Well most of you consider the Jubilee Horn as (much) better than the standard K-horn. I've heard a little bit of the Jubilee Horn and I thought it was a very luxurious version of the standard K-horn. But it appears to be a complet new design. A surprise for me. And a lot easier to build. In an earlier reply Bruce wrote that the drawing plans of the jubilee are guarded on this forum. In that case it will be difficult to make this speakers. No plan, no speaker. Or will you make an exeption for me. I'll promise you that I will not send them tot anybody or put it somewhere on the internet without your permission. I already have the orginal K-horn speakers; K33 B; K 55 and K 77 from the year 1979. Are they suitable for the jubilee? Peter

Hallo Bruce, Thank you for your message. How good are my woodworking skills? I'm not a carpentar by profession. It's more a hobby working with wood. After many years by working with wood,I got more and more experiend. Since a couple of years I have an excellent mitre saw (Dewalt DW 708). This machine is very accurat. So I think I can handle the job, making a Klipschorn. It's a challenge. Indeed, there a lot of bevels and mitre's to saw, but merely in the smaller pieces. That can be done with the Dewalt mitre saw. In the wood market in my village there's a plate saw (I don't know the exact American name for it, but i think you understand what i mean). With this machine they can saw the bigger pieces en then those pieces will also fit in my small car for transportation. No, I want to make a Klipschorn. No other design. I read a lot about it. I already found three drawing plans on the internet and including the site that you gave me. The problem is, that there are small differences between the three plans. Especialy in the smaller pieces that have a lot of bevels and mitre's. I also found sure mistakes in the plan's. For example piece G with a bevel of 20 degree. That is not possible. I hoped that the Klipsch forum would have the absolut correct drawing plan. If not it would be no great dissaster. It only takes more time. I have to work now from piece to piece and checking each piece if it is correct. Thanks for offering to send the CD, but it is a problem if they are not in millimeters but only in inches. It takes a lot of time to change that in millimeters. Peter

Hallo, My name is Peter and I,m from the Netherlands in Europe. My english is not very good, so I hope you will understand me. I want to make a klipschorn by my self. In the Netherlands they are to expensive to buy at the dealer. They cost more ten thousand US dollar each !!! I can't afford that amount of money. Can you help me to a drawing plan of the Klipschorn. If possible in millimeters. Thank you very much.
