juniper8 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I am really fascinated by the idea of of building some "JUBCLONES" If anyone wants to partake in this endeavor and build their own pair with me, let me know. I found a CNC cutting company that is fairly reasonable and I know a good source for marine plywood. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper8 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 MR. ZAK I HOPE YOU HAVE THE SAC TO SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE THAT HAS DONE THIS IN THE PAST AND DON'T LIMIT IT TO THIS MODEL OF KLIPSCH SPEAKER. ALSO CONSIDER HOW NICELY THE INDUSTRIAL LOOK HAPPENS TO LOOK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 He doesn't mean anything by it....besides, the industrial units (like mine) tend to remind him of his mother [] [{][}] Then they have the prettier units.....for a nominal upcharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 JUNIP,,,You and all the rest of the sapsuckers will build the clones,,,and come sucking up to Klipsch Co. and get the drivers to install inside...are the cheapskates nailing the coffin shut on the Klipsch Co....28 page,s of crying, weeping, knashing of teeth on how the Co. sold out to AUDIOVOX,,,I remember last year a gent in Iran wanted the plans to the Klipschorns,,,So that he could make dozens of Khorns with out license,,and as he said no harm done..They can afford to cause the Co. has already made millions,already,,so whats the big deal..,,,But its cheapskates like you and all the rest of the sappers taking earned wages from the origional Klipsch workers...one nail at a time ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have to say that Maron does have a point there. Much of the value and original cost of Klipsch speakers is in their engineering, not in their hardware. Profiting from that engineering is the right of Klipsch and Company, and no-one else. Klipsch has created and brought into the market many speakers that bring pleasure to thousands of listeners and I hope they'll continue to be around to do that long into the future.

I just think that the industrial, PA or stage look would be hard to look at! If I did do this that would be the only reason why, and it would never be as good as the original.

Coytee Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 These are really good points MH! I just think that the industrial, PA or stage look would be hard to look at! Two comments: 1. As you see above, they are now available in more than industrial black. 2. If someone wanted another finish, blue/green.... polka dots.... fancy veneer.... one could also simply order them from the factory unfinished and you could finish them yourself or have it done.

ZAKO Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Remember,,The Khorn and LaSCALA were in unfinisnd birch,,As costumers demands increased...Finished veneers were offered...plus price increased,,But smarta$$d cloners were not sapping PWKs design...Times were hard enouh getting his baby into steady production,,Not enough demand is there for the JUB to come out of the pro cinema side of the company,,,But a special order will not (as yet) be turned down,,,The ugly WARTHOG version is a splice to make it viable to limited build,,, CLONE sappers have bitten into sales,,, We are not sure if the NEW OWNERS will ever let the JUBe out the barn door in a really finished form,,,The demand is now for what i call coffin verticle box,s with a small footprint..Like the Palladium take center stage,,in sales,,The Co, needs to sell alot of those to recover development....From an earlier comment by one of the designers of the JUBe that unit might not ever get a viable facelift to look as good as the present Khorn.. If sappers took a heavy toll on the early Khorn, History would not be kind to the origional designer PWK...He would have been out of business,,, I was offered a chance to aquire a JUBE clone on severl occassions,,But politely turned them down,,(price was half of Factory units)...I,m getting too old to make the change now,,Shadows are getting longer...But the sunset is beautiful,,, But i get pi$$ed at the backstabbing attitude of the younger crowd sapping at the intellectual design of someone elses work...If you like that type of attitude,,Go live in CHINA where they dont care it they take your copyrights and use them for there agenda...
