    i can only tell about the J2. Very nice sounding amp!
  2. i saw a burmester 6 channel amp for sale.. was thinking of trying that. but i still enjoy my Class D on LF and tubes on HF. Not saying i will never try.
  3. agree, they were only off because we just placed them in the room when i took the picture.
  4. LOL, Craig (Born2rock) tried to trick me into that also.... but i would still love to have some floorspace.
  5. Hey Flevoman! i was away from the forum for a while, offcourse i allready heard from you in person about your purchase. But still, welcome to the Jubilee club! I know that there can only be a couple of UG jubs in Europe. Cool to have 2 pairs in our small country. If somebody from Europe reads this, i own a pair of Herriage Jubs also at the moment and i kind of fell in love with them. i`m not sure weither i like the high end more then the UG. Forum member Craig spent a lot of time dialing the UG in here and the Faital HF-20AT are very good drivers. But the sweet spot is a lot smaller then with the Herritage. I did read that adding the phase plug of the Herritage to the UG widens the sweet spot. But the Low end of the Herritage is a whole different story. No subs needed. offcourse it totally depends on your musical taste. So for me, the performance of the low end, together with the estatics of the Herritage made me to love the Heritage more. but this doensnt mean i love the UG less. they share the 1st place I am still a bit in doubt about selling the UG, but then again.. i dont really use them now. (this is the pair Flevoman talked about before buying from KT88). If somebody is interested feel free to send me a PM I think i will put them up for sale next year otherwise. I will follow this thread Flevoman! very interesting. and again conratulations!
  6. 100% no need for sub
  7. Wow love the room!!
  8. Truely forgot about that
  9. Congratulations! and welcome to the club. I am getting good results with: 2x mono Hypex Nc500mp Class D on LF For HF i switch between a Line Magnetic LM-219IA and a Nelson Pass First Watt J2. I am starting to lean towards the Line Magnetic, but the downside is it has some slight hum/hiss. Offcourse while listening at moderate levels this is no problem. For a preamp i use a Mcintosch C220 and for source i am very happy with my Cambridge CXN V2.
  10. welcome to the forum, i will follow up on your project...very nice to see this old gear still being respected!
  11. I understand, but with the Jubilee, that is not necessary due to the digital crossover. So, once the gain is matched, it will adjust evenly when you turn the dial on the preamp.
  12. i got this advice recently from a dealer. not perse class D but he did advise me to use the same amps. and maybe go for horizontal bi amping. so that the character of the amp covers the whole spectrum. food for thought
  13. at this moment i drive my LF cabinets with a Hypex 500wpc class D amp, just did a comparrison with one of my Crown K2 amps but for now my impression was that the hypex has better low end and more punch. for the 402`s i am switching between the First watt J2 and tubes. not sure what i like best yet. both the J2 and the LM219IA are 25 watt amps. i am a tube guy but you need a really really good tube amp to keep up with the J2. will try my Mc275 on the horns next week, and after that a Sun Audio 2A3 from a friend of mine. something in me doesnt want to part with tubes but the J2 is no nonsense and top sounding.
  14. you have a well trained eye for the drinks
