  1. I've got a spare Emotiva XPA Gen 3 5 channel amp. Everyone on here know's I am a huge fan of Emotiva. The reason I am selling this is because I ended up buying a 7 channel for the extra channels my Jub's needed and I thought I would have another application for the 5 channel which is why I didn't just send it in for upgrade. Turns out it's been just sitting and I don't see anything going on with it. Amp is MINT used way less than a year and I actually do have original box this time. Brand new this thing goes for 1600 with the configuration I've got so I think 1200 is a fair price considering age and condition. I would rather not ship because it would be expensive but I will look into it if there is interest because as I said I do have the original box and anyone that has bought from Emotiva knows they give a very heavy duty box. This thing has XLR inputs as well as RCA and is very heavy and well built. I personally think Emotiva goes very well with Klipsch. Unit also has a 12volt trigger input and output. I actually do not have that cable though it did come with it. I am using it for one of my subs but they are very cheap on either amazon or you can even get them at radio shack. I paid 5 dollars for the ones I am using. They are not required though as it does have an on/standby switch in the front. Also as many of you know these things are upgradeable to 7 channel but just an FYI if you wish to do that you do NEED to send it in to Emotiva, they do not send the extra channels because it's a risk of electrical shock, trust me I tried having them send the part's they will not budge on that matter so if you want to upgrade, be prepared to send it out. You also need original box to send it out so anyone interested I would highly suggest keeping original box as well. They will NOT accept it if it's not in its original box. Alright time for pictures...

    JTR subs?

    Your in for quite the treat! Your gonna have more bass than you know what to do with! When I first got my orbital shifters I went to youtube and put in bass test and cranked it. This was the first time I can honestly say I was afraid to keep turning the volume up. I've got a drop ceiling in my room and I could literally see particles falling down from it and pictures on the wall were visibly shaking and rattling and I could barely see straight. I honestly felt like if I had turned it any higher something was going to break. Didn't last long though my family came running to the theater room saying I was shaking everything in the house and they said I almost knocked a mirror upstairs off the wall. It was so loud in fact it gave me a headache and later on I had to clean all the particles that had fallen from the ceiling and straighten up all my pictures, one of which had fallen off the wall. Not only is it loud though but the sound quality is great! I also love the way they have XLR inputs and 12volt trigger's so no more signal sensing crap. Biggest thing i hate about that signal sensing is when watching a movie with a long dialogue part then a sudden impact scene sometimes the sub takes a second to go on so you miss part of the affect. The worst part about ordering from JTR is the wait time, but I can assure you it's worth it. Be prepared though, these subs are HUGE, they were actually bigger than I was anticipating but I made it work and am very happy I did.
  4. One of them is still available. I am about 5 hours away.
  5. I concur that the La Scala makes an incredible theater speaker. I was using La Scala's across the front for quite some time and I was extremely happy with it. In my opinion they are some of the finest theater speakers you will find out there.
  6. Ya, neither have I. The only AVR I ever heard a hissing from when it was idle was the Marantz SR 5011 I had.
  7. I've ran many receivers since I started here and I personally thought Pioneer and Emotiva sounded absolutely the best with Klipsch. I haven't tried many of the brands people recommend on here like NAD and McIntosh. I've always been very curious about McIntosh but have yet to try them. I personally did not really care for Marantz sound. If your looking into separates I would highly suggest you look into the Emotiva XMC-1 and an XPA Gen 3 amp. I have been extremely happy with those. Before my Jubilee's I was running them with my K-horns and they sounded excellent! In my opinion Emotiva has a really gorgeous highly detailed very open spacious and extremely warm sound. If you read the reviews on the XMC-1 you will see many people find it to be really amazing and say it has sound quality that rivals processors at much higher price points.
  8. Hey @Youthman how far away is your projector from the scree? I've considered a projector for my theater room as well but worry that the screen would be too close and the room isn't big enough. Does it need to be a certain distance for it to be optimal?
  9. I've never tried Oppo but I've heard really good things. I've always really loved Sony Blu-ray players. I just got the new Sony 4k player and have been really liking it. I have had an issue with it where it will randomly go off, it's happened about 2 times since I've had it but seems to only happen when watching media from the usb port. I've had many Sony blu-ray players in the past and this is the first one I've ever had an issue with though so I am really hoping it will be an easy firmware fix or something like that. Given the history I've had with Sony I would still recommend it.
  10. Yup I just saw it myself to test out the new orbital shifters, put the subs up to +6db for that one which looking back may have been a mistake. I had a headache for the rest of the day and you could see particles from my drop ceiling falling from the sky not to mention pictures rattling like crazy! You've gotta check out Deep Water Horizon too, that's an amazing one to test out your system and also a really good movie.
  11. Nope that actually sold pretty quickly. I forgot to label the post, I apologize for that.
  12. I saw you saId you've been hooked on the heritage line so why not maybe look into some hereseys?
  13. Let us know how you like them when they arrive!
  14. One of the subs has been sold only one left. Well I got my orbital shifters so I am selling the Klipsch subs. I'll do 450 each or 900 for both. I'm not going to ship because of how expensive it would be and I don't want to risk damaging the subs. They are 95% mint condition except for one of them has a scratch on the top of it due to me putting my 402 horn on top of it when I was assembling the Jubilee's and I didn't realize it had a screw sticking out of the bottom. That is only one of them though and the scratch is about an inch in size. The other is mint. I am located in CT and I do have a truck so I am willing to deliver or meet halfway within a reasonable distance. I will add more pictures when I get the chance. I am original owner and subs were purchased brand new.
  15. Mine didn't come with any passive crossover you need to wire the 402 and bass horn separately to the active crossover. If I were you I would look into the Xilica XP line, that's what I got and it's amazing!
  16. I can't wait for Logan to hit 4k. For anyone that hasn't seen it yet, it's a must see!
  17. They are still available but the price to ship them would really take like half my profit. I learned my lesson shipping item's this big and heavy. Sorry, I'm only gonna sell local.
  18. Where are you located? I have 2 Klipsch R-115SW's for sale both pretty much mint and fairly new.
  19. I'm currently a computer technician. I've basically been building computers since I was a kid but don't really have much of a passion for it anymore. I've lately been thinking of taking a different direction and audio is something I have always been extremely passionate about. I am sure many of you can relate. Wondering, how many of you do some sort of audio related work for a living, if so how did you get into it and how do you like it?
  20. Absolutely amazing! They are extremely revealing though, I think even moreso than the K-horns. I'm not sure if everyone is aware or not but I use my computer as my main audio source and have a lot of mp3's that I use and I've found since getting these I'm going back and ripping everything in lossless wav format otherwise you can hear every imperfection. Well worth it though!
