  1. @usnret, the front of the speakers is 24" from the back wall, 8' apart inner edge to inner edge and currently toed in 1 3/4" as measured below the outer base mount screw and the bass top. and the MPL is 11'-13' away.  The sweetest spot is about 2 people wide although once outside of that, the sound is still full anywhere in the room. The side walls are 10' away so I don't have any sidewall first reflections issues.  I may have one from the ceiling since they are only 7'7" high they are a combination of sheetrock and acoustical tile.

     

    You will not be disappointed with Jubs assuming you can get them by the WAF and have the space for the 4 channels of amplification, DSP and source equipment.

     

    Good Luck!

     

    PS, I went with a Yamaha BD-A1060 as my multi disc player.  Based on my research in the current market, it had all of the abilities I needed plus XLR outputs which was a requirement for me.

    And......the Klipsch settings for biamped 535Bs with the Klipsch passive between the mids and highs will get you 95-99% of the way to "it can't go no better". You can then start to split hairs and go 3 way triamp if you so desire. You will need a measurement mic(UMIK) and REW running on a computer to split those thin hairs.

    Are you saying @Chris A would not help you? I doubt it

    The slippery slope has no end! :) 

  3. Well I've got the system connectivity pretty well in hand.  I am using 2 of the 4080 inputs for the digital sourced inputs and the other 2 for analog inputs. 

    The DacMagic has master volume control for those sources and I added an analog volume control for the others.

     

    The analog component detail:

    A. Yamaha BD-A1060, this in the analog section because the SACD output is only analog.
    B. Ortofon Black, Technics 1200 MKII, VTA PH16

    C. Sony TC-651 RTR

    D. Open

    The XLR A/B/C/D switch is a Kramer VS-4X and the volume control is a Palmer PMC1.

     

    My outbuilding is divided into 3 sections.  The shop, the assembly hall and the upstairs bar.  Each area has its own system.  With the Xilica I can mix any source to any output if I need to do something other than the hardwired connections shown in the drawing.  The Jub system is the main listening area we call the assembly hall.

  4. Rsrvrman, Thanks.

     

    Islander, I will look into that, thanks.

     

    So I started on the recycling of the shipping containers this weekend, that's a lots a cardboard!  I thought hard about keeping them, but its too much to store, and I be in a box before they will need to move, so I at least made this out of parts on them.

    LTusler, I am.... gets some microphones, and room correction software, sound absorbtion, and you will be good to go... you will still need great recordings....

    Got the REW and mic.  I've been using them as I learned.  I have been using a MiniDSP DDRC 88A with DIRAC.  Onc I got the timing and xovers set with the 3 way system and doing the room correction, I found I liked it better with the room correction off.  I haven't done any measuring on the Jubs yet, just listening, but I am retiring and winter is coming!

    Is this the second pair in MN? I have a pair they are crazy good, but my bins are clones that the plans were gifted to a famous horn designer, but are heavier then the stock ones. Try the tads if you can find them, the 69 is good though. for all of you who are on the fence, buy them... the price might go way up....they make many speakers sound like silly....

    Don't know are you in MN?

    @LTusler Congrats! Threw down that kind of cash without ever hearing them? Wow! I know you will enjoy them. Had you ever heard any horn loaded bass? Like KHorns or LaScalas?

    I guess it was somewhat of a risk, but after reading all about them on this site and the reputation of Klipsch in general, I wasn't too worried.  I did get a huge eyebrow raise from the wife, but once she heard them, she got it.  I am sure that will apply to anyone else who hears them as well!

    Congratulations! I know you will enjoy them.

     

    I'm curious about the finish on these factory cabinets with the veneer upgrade.  Are the edges square or have they been rounded over (it looks that way, I think). I am trying to figure out if edge banding or veneer on the tops and sides could be easily applied. 

     

    Anyhow enjoy them,

    -Tom

    Here is some detail on the LF openings.  They are not quite the same as the originals shown above.
