I like the precise EQ adjustments and the on-screen display of the EQ page of the DC-One, for setting up the overall system, adjusted with Audyssey turned off. Then, I re-calibrate the Audyssey as the last step. Some people will debate the merits of the room correction device, because a bad room can be difficult, but I get good results with Audyssey. The tone controls on your Pre-Pro can be used for quick adjustments of different program material, while using the handy remote.

Restoring your Klipsch speakers with new parts, and listening to them for the next few years will be worth the moderate cost. Happiness is priceless.

Good to see the curves are where you want them now. Probably don't even need a subwoofer with the powerful Jubilees. Go to the equalizer screen, click and drag a liitle bit of bass boost while listening to some favorite tunes and save the settings.

After the motorboard, grill, horns and x-over are out, you can unscrew the two upright side panels. If just refinishing the surface, that may be as far as you need to go. If you are re-veneering everything, remove a few more screws to separate the bottom panels of the tophat.

You have a very fine stereo system. The McIntosh gear is beautiful. I see that the McIntosh MEN220 room correction device also comes equipped with a high quality measurement microphone. I imagine that your Klipschorns sound really good in your space.

First take out the six silver colored screws (from underneath) shown in this picture, lift off the top panel and then the four screws that hold the motorboard / grill assembly, (and the horn support bracket screw and two screws in the crossover board), in this order, so the grill cloth staples do not scratch the finish when removing the motorboard.

Yes, the terminology causes some confusion. Even after a couple years using digital EQs, I still like to remind myself that HI PASS = LOW CUT, anytime I make an adjustment. When you add the sub-woofer, arrange the channels in the order pictured here (and connect your amps accordingly). As for the 20Hz spec you asked about in an earlier post, I think the number is an industry standard spec on most pro equipment, not a brick wall.

I have a pair of these KW-120 subs and the KA-1000 amp with my Heresy III stereo system and I think it is a great combination.

RSVRMAN, Your crossover settings should probably look like this, with the corresponding matching FR curves displayed in the upper graph. Disregard the 20Hz and 20000Hz numbers, those are default settings for the THRU setting (no filter).

Your speakers look good. Wenge wood furniture is popular in many high end home decors, for the contrast against the light colors in the rooms. Listen to some music through your hand built speakers for a while and enjoy the rewards of your work.

Are these the brand new Jubilee bass bins you just unwrapped yesterday?

If you can positively, securely mount the Heresy IIIs onto the supporting structure joists of your 11' high ceilings, they can be a very good with your La Scala II equipped Dolby Atmos home theater system. An additional safety strap or bracket across the front of the heavy speaker cabinet would also be wise, for safety assurance. I don't have the specs handy, but when listening to my Heresy III's they have good smooth dispersion.

Good to see that your Jubilees have arrived and are filling your home with great sounds. The cherry veneer looks really nice.

I am attending several concerts this week, as well as being busy with other things, so will not be on the Klipsch forum much, but I will be thinking a lot about these speakers.

I see some of my favorite colors in a very unique wood grain pattern, that could blend in very well with my other Klipschorns. I have many exotic woodgrain objects in my house, so I try to avoid subjecting myself to frequent Rorschach tests that might reveal that I think of women even more than I already know I do, LOL.

Hi Lancia, Your Grandfather's Klipschorns look very nice. As mentioned in an earlier post by forum member Budman, I do have a fondness for Rosewood Klipschorns, so I will be admiring this picture for the next few days.

Because the bass frequencies do not propagate straight out from the front center of a Klipschorn, microphone distance and room interations can be big variables in measured frequency response, more than when testing other speaker designs. In spite of that, the Klipschorns usually sound really good at the listening position, and the fact that the bass radiates out along the walls is probably why they sound so large.

A shelf for upside down Klipschorns in the corner of my garage is starting to sound like a good idea, because I want the floor space for things like motorcycles. The door rails make it awkward to place large heavy boxes there, so I will borrow a friend's forklift to raise them into place when ready.

The Jubilee bass bin is a very smart design.

I did a front mount when I modified my center channel La Scala. Many years ago, a forum member posted his measurements of the improvement frequency response when changing the mid horn from the back side to the front of the La Scala. I don't have that link saved, but I liked the progressive idea.

I plan to replace my tri-amped La Scala center speaker with a K-402 full range multiple entry horn, when I get around to spending more time at home.

One down, and counting.

How about this?

What is the function of the slot in the back panel of the 2008 Jubilee in the middle picture above?

Your K-402 mounted in a cabinet and wrapped with rock wool looks good and solid. My question about rigidity came to mind while looking at a picture of a free standing treble horn image.
