I'm gonna chime in here and say that I owned this speaker for a couple months and was not that impressed (using a mcintosh 275vi) and quickly sold them at no loss in price. Id recommend something in the heritage line unless you just really need them for the looks or size issues as they do resale pretty easy

Im currently using this exact setup on my Jubilee with a crown amp on the lowers and sounds phenomenal. I highly recommend picking thsese up if anyone is on the fence
-
Crites has the speaker box plans on their website last I looked
I stand corrected they have removed the pdf's and ask that you contact them now

Agreed, I thought about Jub's as being the next thing but, my room isn't big enough! Hell the Khorns are really to big but I have had them forever and gotten use to the sound quality. I can't go backwards!!!
My room is incredibly small and my Jubilees are the best thing ive ever had in here.....by a long shot. If you can fit them in the room you owe it to yourself.

When you are a frog in the pan of warming water you miss a lot. This guy is so used to all the burden of living out there that he thinks it is the way life is and things that will be new expenses to you he accepts as being normal everywhere. Intent to deceive may not be there but glossing over bad things will be. You can visit the ocean and see the mountains with snow on top for skiing sounds really good and those things are there. Then you have to pay rent and gas to drive and sit in 10 hours of traffic to enjoy those things. Natives are so used to this stuff that they don't factor in how negatively this effects the outcome.
Northern CA has a fraction of the traffic. Again, if OP is talking LA I recommend running, not walking the other way.

I find it hilarious that people there refer to living in a county instead of the actual city they live in. What is up with that? It just seems cnutish.
Ahh your screen name fits well with your comments! Lol They do something different that me, they must be crazy. Get off my grass!

Get out there! Make bank and then get the hell out!
I think Baz Luhrmann said to live there once but get out before it makes you soft. (he was talking about Northern CA but close enough)
I've had money and not had money in my life. I prefer to have it. But I also know that it is not where you are but who you're with that makes me happy.
Northern CA and Southern CA are anything but "close enough". If you've never lived in northern CA you owe it to yourself to do it once (San Fransisco is not northern CA) north and east of Sacramento CA is a special place that has very few peers on the entire planet. Moderate winters, hot summers (but not the hottest and has plenty of water to cool off) less than two hours to the ocean or to the mountains. You can ski in the mornings and surf in the afternoon on the same day if you want. The people are waaaaay more laid back and friendly than southern CA and tend to lean more libertarian than liberal.
You want bright shiny, loud, obnoxious, intense, everyday go Southern CA.

---Yeah , I was just kidding seeing the JBL cabs ---- but they sure seem to be a great fit with the K402 ---JBL makes some real fine woofers , if not some of the best , they do have a punchy bass -
Crazy thing is that those are dual 18" woofers and that horn makes them look small

are these cabinets klipsch
Oh no! These are frankensteins made from jbl bassbins and klipsch k402 tops. For me the direct radiator hit tops the folded horn sound. To each their own, but for me ive reached the top of the mountain

I have my jubs in an 11x13 room with 10 foot ceilings and it rocks for solo listening. More than one person gets crowded and sweet spot is very small so only one person at a time gets the good spot. Would I like a larger room? Heck yeah. Does this small one work fine for escaping from reality and immersing myself in music? Yes. I think for a HT setup it would be a tad bit small

There is a reason joe rogan (and many other high profile LA people) are leaving. You dont want to be there ...

I'd like to live in a place that meets the following:
small town - Maybe up to 100K but less is OK
a home depot (must have)
Good internet (must have)
supermarkets
a strip mall or two
a farmers market that has good produce
Other farming such as chickens, beef etc available from farmers
Hopefully decent weather. I like the dry heat of the desert, but know that winters will be worse.
low taxes (hopefully)
Plenty of water
All of that minus low taxes in Placer County in CA

That is an awesome album! Listen to it on my Jubilees frequently. My Forte III dont sound too shabby either! Rock on!!!!

AZ is the place to be right now if you want covid

I start by listening to the equipment and then quickly end up listening to the music and then just forget that Im listening and eventually wake up from being on a journey and am thankful for my awesome (to me) equipment that plays wonderful music that takes me on a journey.

My Belle clones just not sounding right...

Im going to chime in here. Ive owned (in the following order) LaScala, Belle, and Jubilee. The LaScala and Belle's always had something missing or just not quiet right no matter if they were stock or altered they just never filled the spot. The Jubilee with active xover are awesome and fill everything the other two were missing and then some. Yes the price difference but if i had just skipped the la scala and belle the money would have paid for the jubilees. I would recommend ditching the Belles. Unless you are in to the endless fiddling to try and find the right sound....
