hobie1dog Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 First post , so be gentle.[:^)] Heard some 2007 model Khorns yesterday and it had been back in 1986 since I had originally heard them. I am looking to find a set of speakers with great dynamics and the ability of reproduce a set of drums in my room. I was especially impressed with the speakers being 20 feet apart and a solid image right in the middle of the front wall. The sweet spot was also very large to me which is another plus as I play trumpet to records and like to walk around when the music is cranked. 90% of all the speakers I've heard do not have the capability to reproduce a 18piece Big Band in the room, or that there is a real drummer in the room. I left with the feeling though, that I would be happy with 2 pairs of them(one pair stacked on top of the first pair), I just wanted more of everything they offered. I will be hopefully auditioning the Jubilees very soon....maybe they will satisy my need for dynamics and mid-bass slam.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Welcome to the Forum. The stacked K-horn's idea is hilarious!!!! Would not work very well, but would look imposing!!! Depending upon where you are located, you might be able to correspond with a Forum member who has a pair of Jubilees. Other option is a pair of K'horns and a LaScala, or Cornwall as a "center" channel. Good luck in determining what you will eventually get and post questions, etc. on the Forum. Most everyone here is relatively "gentle", and you will find a wealth of information to help you as you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhendrix Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Welcome to the Forum, hobie1dog!! I am looking to find a set of speakers with great dynamics and the ability of reproduce a set of drums in my room. You will find that which you seek in a pair of Jubilees. Where are you located? There may be a pair near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yezzier, two pair of 'horns is like using a 40 megaton bomb on Peoria instead of a 20. Everybody will be about the same dead, but the hole would be twice as big. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Heard some 2007 model Khorns yesterday and it had been back in 1986 since I had originally heard them Pretty amazing that you heard some 2007 Khorns way back in 1986... [6] Oh...ok...you DID say to be gentle...[] Welcome to the forum. Lots of good reading on both of them however, not too many here have stacked their Khorns that I know of. You can do a search on Jubilee and find all sorts of good reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to listening to your Jubilees really soon....actually this coming week-end is looking good for me.[Y] Quote from Boogie Nights, " Believe me, you NEED the bass."

Mallette Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Now that's funny!!! Hey...that's not a Klipsch product, but it does appear to be omnidirectional and horn loaded. Drop shipped with a technician as well. Cool! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The stacked k horn visual reminded me of a set up that I experienced when buying a pair of cornwalls. The guy I was buying them from had them stacked on top of a pair of Voice of the Theaters. He was selling the cornwalls because he had bought a pair of belles which were now stacked on top of the VOTs. He was driving this set up with a mid 70s mega watt reciever in what was a pretty small den like room. Talk about overkill! No it didnt sound very good! Loud but not good.

hobie1dog Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 When I had the 2-24" Hartley subwoofers in my system several years ago, they added an incredible amount of ambience to the sound. I distinctly remember even putting on a CD that had a sound effect in it and my Chocolate Labrador Retriever- Hobie, where my screen name comes from, turned his head towards the speakers and his ears picked up and then he barked.....he had never done that before when I played that CD. Hobie- buddy of 14 glorius years. He could hear a gnat fart at 50 yards.[&][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Mini hi-jack; Coytee, I plan to take my Mc C-28 up to Terry sometime in Dec probably 21-31st Wow... talk about sick irony... I am pretty sure that's the weekend (Saturday) we're driving from here (starting at 5:00 pm) to Richmond, Virginia... staying overnight for a wedding Sunday morning and then driving home Sunday afternoon/evening. I'll double check the date but I'm pretty sure that's it. Will you be driving back to pick it up or is Terry shipping it? You all may now go back to your mosquito breath bashing....[*-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
