I may have already ordered a pair..

Where can I find the TAD drivers I keep hearing about?

My K-horns do have the closed backs already because they are the 70th anniversar edition. It's not at all that they sound bad and I tried bringing them close it made them sound MUCH worse. As I said I'm pretty sure the reason I'm not getting the big soundstage I am looking for is because the room is too small for them and I am sitting too close. I've come to this conclusion because when I did try to bring them closer to me the soundstage just got smaller and smaller. I am also going active crossover with the jubilees. I already actually ordered the crossover I'll be using.

Congrats on the sale, whoever got em is very lucky! I knew they would go quick!

It wasn't even just the bass that sounded thin, it was everything. I don't think bringing them closer will solve the issue. I think the only way to get them to reach their full potential would be to put them in a bigger room.

That's a main water pipe going into the house, I checked theres no way to move it and also my K-s have closed backs so I really don't think it's affecting them too much.

I don't think there ugly at all I think they actually look amazing but everything else I agree with! That huge sounstage is what I am looking for!

What dealer did you go through to order yours?

It's more than just the midrange and all that though it's also the bass horn! The way the Jubilee has it firing into the room is going to be a lot better for my room as well. The K-horn with the design that uses the walls is a good design of course but not for my room. I've got way too many obstructions around both of them that I am sure is messing with the bass. Even though I will say the bass they create is very good! I know exactly what your talking about when you say the pressure from the bass in the room. I felt the exact same thing with the song Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel.

I have to say that you really do bring up an incredible point about how when PWK made the K horns he really didn't have much experience vs when he made the Jubilees and I will admit when I was on my quest to buy K-horns I did get messages from a couple people saying I should get Jubilee's instead but being hard headed that I am I had a one track mind and was set on the K-horns. Like I said though not that they are bad at all by any means I just do believe they probably aren't the best match for my room. Also I never knew you could buy brand new Jubilee's as I mentioned I thought those were only to be custom built. Klipsch really shouldn't hide the pro gear section lol. Well I guess they don't really hide it, now that I know where it is it's pretty much in plain sight I just always overlooked it before.

From what I understand the Jubilee's are a lot less picky when it comes to placement aren't they?

Lol, ya someday! It's funny though because the La Scala's were completely different. I put those much closer to me than the K-horns and they sounded great with a huge soundstage. The K-s though when I put those where the La Scala's were it's like I'm listening to a tv speaker.

The question is, would the jubilee's sound better..

Ya, tried different placement's the closer I bring them to me the smaller and thinner the soundstage got. I can definitely tell that in a larger room these things would be killer because I can see that the farther away I get the bigger the soundstage and richer the sound becomes. The best place by far is with them all the way in the corners. After trying that out I can say with almost 100% certainty that the reason it's not sounding how I want is because my room is too small for them.

Definitely!

Ya, I guess that's definitely worth a try before I go and buy more speakers lol.

I have a wall behind me as well, this is as far back as I can go too.

I do have them aimed slightly behind me. I have them toed in to taste. Since they are closed back I don't have them perfectly in the corner, also because one wall has a pipe preventing me from that.

Love the sig!

I'm sitting a good 10 feet back from them. I would definitely still keep the jubilee's in the corners too. Hell, if I did this I may not even sell the K-horns I mean they are 70th anniversary edition!

Ya, I've heard from many people the Jubilee's are absolutely incredible and not even the K-horn can compare. I mean lol look at that horn on that thing! I have to say when buying the K's I really didn't have much info on the Jubilee's and I didn't know you could buy them directly from Klipsch. I think I kind of jumped the gun when buying the K's but the good thing at least I am hoping is if I do decide to get the jubilee's I will be able to sell the K's probably for the same amount I paid.

I am not sure what you mean by that I put it in Stereo mode and it's 2 channel no sub. It sounds amazing, definitely does not sound like there are any holes in the center or anything like that. It sounds like the music is coming from right in front of me, in fact when I first got the Emotiva and set it to 2 channel I had to get up and physically make sure the center wasn't playing because it sounded like it was. I have no problem with the imaging of the speakers or anything like that.

Ya, they are only 7 feet to be exact and another thing I really like as I said is the Jubilee's don't require corner placement. I hadn't heard that the Jubilee's sound better in smaller rooms but it makes sense since they don't require corners.

The room is 21x19 and the K-horns are in the corners on the long wall so they are about 21 ft apart.

They do sound amazing, extremely refined just not quite as big of a soundstage as I thought they would have. I'm not sure if all K-horns are like this or it's just the newer ones but mine definitely have a very laid back sound compared to other Klipsch speaker's I've heard. Seems like they tried to do away with that in your face huge presence I've come to know and love.
