    The New Jubilee

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    I think the new Jubilee's looks fantastic, I already have mine on order, also for me it's all abiut the sound, as long as I can get as close to the artist as possible that's all that matters

     

    Well done Klipsch and Roy, I'm sure the new Jubilee's will blow our minds 

     

    Can't wait!

    Sealed vs. Bass Reflex MEHs

    As I might have indicated earlier, really nothing has been released on the "new Jubilee" ("new Jub"), but it was revealed that Roy's now expired patent is one of the contributing technologies to the new Jub bass bins (complete with "airflow animations" of the bass bin with a single 12" woofer and bass reflex ports embedded within the horn itself).  So anything we talk about here is mostly conjecture, and I've learned over time that Roy likes to do "drive by's" on those sort of comments and speculation.  I really don't blame him for picking at the speculation before the product specifications have been released. 

     

    However, in the past, Klipsch doesn't release a lot of detailed information on most of its loudspeaker models--much like their competitors.  Fortunately, Roy has, over the years, shared some aspects of the current Jubilee performance (the two-way version using the KPT-KHJ-LF bass bin--apparently now discontinued according to Roy himself).  So I really can't comment on the "new Jub", and if pressed, I would have a difficult time recreating the exact requirements that Roy, et al. used during the creation of the K-402 horn. The KPT-KHJ-LF bass bin  has a JAES article on that effort that outlines the requirements quite clearly.  Unfortunately, that's the part of the Jubilee that Roy has chosen to change in terms of its design details.  I assume that the design requirements have also changed (but I expect he'll let us all know if that's true or not).

     

    I suppose everyone can say that they have their "druthers" in terms of loudspeaker design. 

     

    My preferences include the ability to minimize phase and group delay growth, thus improving the impulse (a.k.a., transient) performance to as low levels as is possible--along with all the other things that the Jubilee does well.  I've also found that putting the woofers on the same aperture as the HF driver on the K-402 Horn in the MEH design that I've documented (K-402-MEH thread) actually improves performance in some areas, and trading away some areas of performance that I personally value less (but as it turns out--this isn't very much--the trade is a very good one--in my estimation). 

     

    I try to highlight the requirements that I design to, and their rationale.  Oftentimes, this information is largely omitted from other DIY efforts, and particularly manufacturer's information about their loudspeaker designs.  Roy has done a good job in communicating his design requirements (in general) for the current Jubilee over time--perhaps not all requirements, but many of the major ones.

     

    So, over time, I also try to reveal my requirements for the K-402-MEH and all other related MEHs that I design.  In general, here are the requirements categories that I designed to (with discussion of some requirements thresholds in some areas):

     

     

    I think it's worthwhile to point out that there are actually many requirements, and each has its own threshold value related to the exact loudspeaker design that's chosen.  So it's difficult to relate all requirements without handing you a full specification (which I could do if I spent many months developing--which I'm not really interested in doing currently). 

     

    However, if someone did start to document full specifications (like the military requires for its developing major products) virtually everyone would benefit.

    I transitioned from passive crossovers in my La Scala II's to active crossovers via Xilica and a lot of help from Chris A

    The result is unequivocally astounding, I have never in 25 years felt more closer and engaged in the music as I am now

    I was apprehensive but all the help on this forum made the transition easy

    Thanks again Chris for all your help and patience

    I'm a very happy man

    Awesome, the M Scaler is going to change your life,

    Me and 4 of my friends that own the M Scaler have all agreed that of all the components we have ever purchased over the years the M Scaler has had the biggest impact

    Its not subtle its huge, timbre, timing, dynamics, everything is just so much more real

    Enjoy!

    I am, however still mindful of the countless thousands going through this with poorer results.  Broke my heart at night listening to others on the floor coughing all night long.  Just horrible. Keep all of them in prayer.  It is truly painful and lonely since neither family nor friends can visit you on those floors.  I am blessed to be have come out of this so quickly, although I started the fight early in the month.
    Very, very sad for all those people suffering to fight this virus, and my thoughts and prayers are with them and their families

    Everyone here please be safe and please be kind to each other through this ordeal

    I agree, we are completely locked down with control given to civil defence, only services open are critical supplies, ie medical, supermarkets and logistics

    As below is the sms message every New Zealander recieved on their mobile device Wednesday

    We have to isolate to stop the spread d131e33fc5e0d62f8141fc58ed6c1692.jpg

    Thank you!  I think we're going to need them.
     
    Now up to three confirmed cases in our semi-rural county as of yesterday.   Though tests were totally unavailable to those who wanted them at the start of the week. 
     
    A lot of the ostriches still have their head in the sand, it seems.
    It still amazes me that people are still oblivious to what's happening, or to ignorant to believe it is serious, we still have people here in NZ ignoring the lockdown and police have full power now to arrest and detain them

    People need to wake up

    Very strange times,

    keep safe

    To my fellow klipsch brother and sisters in the U.S,

     

    Here in New Zealand we are now on a 4 week lockdown to try and battle the covid19 virus that's sweeping the entire planet, from reading the news, I can see that you guys in the U.S are starting to see the huge impact of the virus and I just wanted to say that our thoughts and prayers are with the members and their family's who are struggling with the impact of this situation

     

    Please be kind to each other and please be safe and take all the precautions you must to stay well,
