Coytee Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Mike, all I gotta say is they look great! If you ever wake up and all the beautification you have done has been stripped away and is missing....I can promise that I won't know anything about it... [^o)] furthermore...if you then decide to come visit my place... I will require a 20 minute warning. (you said it takes about 20 minutes to change their clothes, right?)

PrestonTom Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Mike, congratulations on a very successful project! They look great. I just have to ask ...... Is the front panel a veneer or did you go insane and use a solid piece of wood? Sometimes insanity is a good thing. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Tom, I think he gets to plead insanity here. My recollection is he said somewhere or another that he got some solid wood from somewhere. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's it.... he's insane! We commit him and can scarf up his Jubes!! Sound like a plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 We commit him and can scarf up his Jubes!! Keep me in mind when you toss out your worthless "plug ugly" (your words not mine) version. Excellent job Mike! Those are insanely gorgeous. Can't wait to see the fully finished shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmlowz Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 They look great Mike Nice Job!! Would you mind sharing what you used to trim around the 402 and what kind of plugs you used to plug the holes on the 402. I want to definitely get some of them and plug the holes. It looks a more finished look. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My two year anniversary is coming up in October! Times flies. They grow up so fast. And no, they are not actually growing. They were kinda born nice and big! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've read that some people don't even notice them in the room until they're playing, because they don't register in their minds as speakers.I've seen this phenomenon several times now. It's become the standard scenario in my experience.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted August 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2009 Congratulations those look great and I know they sound great, and all the work you have done testing with the room and new TAD driver it must be very close to perfect. Most people never spend much time on the room but like me it's much harder to understand what the room is doing to the sound to even know what to do about it. I love the way you dressed your Jubs up, very nice job looks like a totally different animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris It's true my niece came over about a week ago and my wife asked "you heard the new speakers yet" she said no and walked over to the forte ll sitting "on" the MWM/402 and said I thought these were the same ones we used when I lived here? I guess she thought the MWM was a stand for the forte ? [:S] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 looks like a totally different animal. Ya think if we put his pretty pair and my macho pair in a room together for a while, we might end up with some Jubetts later on? [:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ya think if we put his pretty pair and my macho pair in a room together for a while, we might end up with some Jubetts later on? It doesn't work that way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've read that some people don't even notice them in the room until they're playing, because they don't register in their minds as speakers. That's also true of Klipschorns. They look like furniture. Although I was once asked what was the piece of furniture underneath the speaker (i.e. the top section was identified as the whole speaker).

Deang Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Very nice work Mike. So when are you going to start on everyone else's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 That happens sometimes with the JubScalas. People notice the K510s, but don't realize the La Scalas they're sitting on are speakers. Other folks usually notice the three "big" Heresies near the back wall and comment on them, but when they notice the front speakers, it's almost like, "Where did those come from? I didn't even see them at first." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work that way . Well it's probably better not to mate them considering they are, or almost twins, the kids would most likely be very abnormal like an average bose product . [:S] The only difference is Mikes Jubes were a little more privilege, they went to a better school ( TAD ) and later had a few cosmetic " enhancements " is what i think they call it !

mikebse2a3 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks everyone for the nice words! Hey Richard I can have the Jub LF back stock in probably less than 10 minutes. When I get a chance I will update the Zebrawood Jubilee thread I started some time ago and show pictures of how I've went about this. Hey Tom What happened was I originally had an idea forming of how I could dress the Jub up when coming back from the Klipsch Pilgrimage 2006 and so I had began to think I wanted to pursue this and so there came a time when I mentioned to my girlfriend that I was thinking of dressing up the Jubs and wanted to stop by a place to see what woods were available and fate was playing with me that day because there before my eyes were these 2 large Zebrawood boards (both cut from the same tree) and large enough to make two front panels (well as PWK I read once said "It was like waving a bull in front of a red flag!) my mind was made up immediately and this all began! Hey Rich The K402 top section is made from 3/4" Baltic birch and then I've trimmed around the K402 with 1/2" x 1" and 3/4" x 1" solid aluminum which I've machined and polished. The screw covers came from Lowes homecenter and I've used both Black and Brown colored ones where appropriate. The back support bracket is also solid aluminum and polished and all hardware used is stainless steel. Again I will update the Zebrawood Jubilee thread with how I did this when time allows me. Hey Dean I think it would be better if I showed them how to fish rather than giving them the fish! mike tn[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me Loves Khorns Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 When I first got my first Klipsch speakers, my lascalas, my mother in law was over and helped clean up the apartment. She thought that they were some type of bookshelf, and proceeded to stack a bunch of books in the bottom parts of them. Looked kinda cool, not so great on the sound.
