Definitely a good thing. Strategic cross pollination is always a good idea in business.

Oh well... I thought I could hear them in person, but IQ Home Entertainment, one of the two locations identified on the Klipsch site, can only order them. They don't have them on the showroom floor.

A quick search on "klipsch jubilee vs klipschorn" turned up a video comparison I saw on YouTube. There's nothing like the real thing, but this comparison should help.

My La Scalas were in a little better shape, but definitely beaters. The seller wanted $600, so that's what we did. That was during the price runup for the Federal stimulus money season.

These inflated shipping costs really make it hard. My Eliptracs haven't sold either.

A local speaker builder and carpenter. He works from his garage. There are probably a few in your area.

Anyone can find you on Zelle. All they need is your phone number or email. The banking system and Zelle know where and who you are. To return a Zelle payment, just send a new Zelle payment to your sender.

Update. It looks like shipping on the East Coast for the tweeters will be around $40, if anyone is interested.

Yeah.... shipping is crazy. I took one horn to my nearby UPS and FedEx stores to get a quote. I couldn't figure it out on their website. Shipping to Texas and California was $170 and $210, which included about $30 for boxing one horn. That just about doubles the cost. At that price you may as well get your own kit and pay a carpenter to build them. I'll hold on for local buyers, or maybe eventually use them for a custom build.

One more pic.

I put these LMAHL V2 tweeters on top of my vintage La Scalas, and they completely outclassed my mid and bass horns. I surrender. I cannot build a better La Scala; I need to just buy the AL5/6. For the Eliptrac 400 horns, I decided not to reconstruct my vintage La Scalas to accomodate them. I also have the plastic 1.5 inch adapters if you'd like them. Again, the only solution is the AL5/6. All four pieces are $300, or you can take one pair for $150, two tweeters or two horns. Shipping costs are very extreme, so only local sales for these.

The fluctuating voltage in my apartment was pretty awful, but a voltage regulator really helped. Now it stays between 123 and 124 volts. The audio is much happier now. I'm using this regulator, built with recording studios in mind, but it works just fine in my system. https://www.blacklionaudio.com/store/power-conditioners/pg-2r-power-conditioner/

I'm on track to get streaming up to CD quality. It can be done, but it'll cost a bit more. DSD files are currently the audio boss around here.

Never said they did. At least the Cat8s are doing something right. They just sound better for my router, modem and streamer. Are you using the #14 Romex for your digital setup?
