The 1802 is bigger, better, and available now.
If I could get it in my room I'd have one or two of them. The 1502 would just barely fit. I have a huge room but my doorways are small.

If the BFM Table Tuba sounded sloppy it was a placement, setup or build issue and not the design itself.
It could have been placement and that it was only an 8' driver and im used to the slamming bass of my jubes. The build quality looked great.

Thanks for the replies. After seeing the new klipsch 1502 prototype makes me wonder if I should wait a bit.

Looking for alittle help on what subs I should get that will go best with my Jubilee's for music. I went and listened to a table tuba with a 8' sub today and it sounded kinda flabby. It seemed more of a movie sub than music. The bigger version with the 15' might be another story or just more of what I heard. I want a sub that has fast- tight kick drum bass and I'm willing to give up alittle bottom end for better chest thump.
Right now I am considering these:
Tuba THT low profile.
Danley dts-10
Danely spud
JTR Orbit shifter
Will consider any other DIY builds that might do the job. Appreciate any advise.
Thanks,
Mike.

I don't know who this belongs too but I sure like this a lot.
That's my setup. The 2 pairs of Cornscala's are now on the back wall not in use. They are awesome speakers but I'm probably going to sell them to help pay for more horn loaded bins, just need to make my mind up on what's next.

If you can get to Knoxville, TN area, I have two of them (dual drivers each) that do NOT have any drivers....that you could have for free.
So, for the cost of the drivers alone, you could have a nice foundation.
As much as I'd love to have the double bins I don't think I could get them through my 30' doorway without taking a sawzal to a couple walls.. I've done some crazy shit so you never know!

It would not save you any money on amplification, or on the active setup, it still requires 4 amplified channels just like Jubes, 2 for the 402's and 2 for the bass bins.
I appreciate the info.
What I meant was would I be better off going to mwm's rather than adding another pair of jubilee bass bins. I already have one pair. If I add another pair of jube bins I would have to power 8 woofers instead of 4 with the mwm's. That's why I'm thinking I could save alot on amps. Going by what I've been reading about mwm's they can kick alot harder when pushed.
Another thing that strikes me about the mwm's ( single bins ) is say you start out with 2 per side and it's great for awhile but then at some point you want more, you can easily add another bin per side.
Its been suggested i should just add a couple subs like the tuba tht. That's a possibility, i have just never owned a subwoofer of any kind before and worry I might lose some of the magic from the jubes if I do. I'm of the mindset of adding more of what you know you like. The jubes are great, i love what they do but I feel I am driving them to there limits to get the experience I want and that is feeling massive power kick me in the chest without worrying if I am driving them to hard. I was powering the bins with a 1250wpc Crown now I am using jc-1 monoblocks.
There is a guy close to me who is an authorized Bill fitzs builder who can build the tuba tht's for me if i decide to go that route but he only has a small table tuba for me to hear before deciding.
So I basically have 3 options.
1. Add a couple tuba subs.
2. Get another pair of jube bins.
3. Mwm's
They all look like good options.

LOL, and just when I thought it was the bottom... Excuse my ignorance but what are MWM's? I did a search to no avail...

I thinking mwm's are in my future.

I am getting the upgrade itch again. I'm seriously considering going with mwm single bins but I have a few questions.
Most mwm systems I've seen are 3 or even 4 way, i only want to do 2way. Do the bass bins go high enough with stock woofers for a 2way system or do they need to be swopped out? For the tops I would be using 402 horn, active and probably either k691 drivers or Faital pro hf20at. Would they be more difficult to dial in the crossover vs Jubilee's or about the same? Is the bass as clean and punchy as Jubes?
I have Jubes now and I am debating on adding another pair or going with mwm's. It seems to me I could save myself alot of $ on amplification by going with mwm's vs a second set of jubes.
Thanks,
Mike.

Cory you definitely have my business for future purchases if it happens to be something you sell. Out of all the audio guys I've bought from you are the most honest, helpful, and likable! Oh and you give the best deals too!

I tried Roy's settings this weekend and for "out of the box" they are very listenable unlike the settings I tried several months ago. These new settings are much smoother and work with a variety of music. The bass and midbass are well balanced. I now have the Xilica setup with presets for my settings as well as Roy's so it is easy to compare.
Compared to my Chris A / REW / XConsole tuning the Roy settings seem to lose some detail and clarity maybe even some punch - I will be sticking with the configuration @Chris A worked up for me.
I noticed this as well. I believe it's because roys setting are 24db/oct and my other settings are 48db/oct. They both sound much better than the passives to me.

I'll look into that. If I can get it fixed for 500 or less I'd probably keep it.

It won't let me post more pics. Location should be on my profile. South Portland Maine.

Selling my Chorus 2's. These speakers sound awesome, they have New Crites titanium tweeters and new Crites crossovers. The cabinets have some nicks and small scratches but over all in good shape. The grills are in excellent shape. The rear passives have a few small dents but function properly. The risers are intact but are not in as good condition as the rest of the speakers.
$750.

Seems to be too many inductors and two boards for a 2 way; these must be 4th order and the kind you can change a strap to make them a 3 way. Schematic by any chance?
Contact Bob Crites for schematic. I don't have it.

Nope.

Selling my Parasound A21. It is in Mint condition. I bought it new alittle over a year ago from an authorized dealer. It went from its box to my rack and hasn't moved. It's a fantastic sounding amplifier. I am only selling because I bought JC-1 Monoblocks. I have all original packaging.
$1750.

I have a crown itech-4000 for sale. It has 7000 hours on it. It has an issue where it will shut down now and then. If you set the dsp to monitor voltage its all over the place, when it drops below 100 it shuts down. It comes back on by unplugging it a few times. I think it's probably a bad cap? But I really don't know. Perhaps someone here knows about this and would be able to fix it? Its a great sounding amp when it's working. I don't know what it would cost to fix so I'm not really sure what I should be selling it for, i paid $1400 for it about 8 months ago. I guess I'll take offers for now if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Mike.

I like to have tone controls on my pre amp. I don't use them much but some recordings benifit from them and I like the option to use them. I looked at alot of pre amps before buying a Mcintosh C-50 and the tone controls where a huge selling point, I doubt I would have bought it if it didn't have them.
Sub for Jubilee's

Thanks for the feedback guys. some very helpful suggestions. I've never owned a sub before so I want to make the right choice. The guy who would build the Tuba tht also suggested i take a look at the T60 or titan 48. It's not that I didn't like the small table tuba, i just expected more kick drum, it did other frequencies just fine so that might be why I thought it sounded flabby.
Chris, I've talked to Cory and I think it might be awhile before the 1502's become available. I'm willing to wait if it is in fact the best match for jubes. The 1802 is just to big to get in my room without major surgery to the house. Even the 1502 will be a challenge with my layout but it is doable.
