Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Alright, first let me start off by saying that this will definitely be a living thread updated over the next year...expect a final (and much more polished) product after a move to a more permanent residence later in 2012 after I return from next deployment, at which point I will have a MUCH more suitable room. BUT...in the meantime, here is what I've done with what I've got. First, what I came home too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Close inspection of the boxes aroused some suspicion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 And even more scary...more on this one later...[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Anyway...onto the unveiling!! [] I started with the other Jube box first (w/o the hole in it). I was afraid to open the damaged one [] BEAUTIFUL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Then the horn...roommate who accepted shipment already opened the damaged box to inspect for obvious damage, the 402 was fine...and sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 After finally getting the front all set up...front sound stage...AWESOME. This is the view from my listening position...not nearly far enough away but working with what I've got. Room is far from ideal, and I'm not making major mods to a house I don't own. That's the roomie's TV, not hanging my projector and screen in this house...plus I'm in it more for music anyway so not an issue to me. Haha, look at how small the speakers make the 46in TV look! That's the new Cherry LS2 bass bin on the center, making my JubScala. Can you spot the ding on the right Jube? [:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks great. Don't get to see many Jubs around here. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Now the back...Danley tucked behind the couch surrounded by Heresy's, just on cheapo end tables at the moment...next house will have them wall-mounted in a MUCH deeper room (with 4 walls []). The most I'll do to this room is hang some thick curtains. The Audyssey has actually tamed the Danley (and the room) pretty well, far better than I anticipated, but can hear where it can be improved. Anyway, we watched Tron on blu-ray last night and it was AWESOME. Bass was STRONG but not nearly overpowering. It was a great integration! Deep, clean, tight. Still, would like to watch on that projector, but with me leaving in 2 weeks and moving when I get back, not worth putting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 First, what I came home too... Dude.... let's talk about what you came home to.... (eyes divert to poster in background...[*-)] ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Don't get to see many Jubs around here. I'm just two turns away from you....(seperated by a couple miles of highway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Building my own custom entertainment center...heavy oak and finished to match speakers. I'm actually really excited about that it's gonna be beautiful, but won't be done until I return, so pics of that to come. In the meantime...check out what I did with a buffet table! The drawers in the middle have been replaced by amps and the Dx38s...NOT BAD! Threw some shelves up top and, again not ideal but it's workin! That's not the Levinson I have on their now, just mixin and matchin for the best sound...still tweakin but it's gettin good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 View from behind Right Jub...Coytee that's roomies picture (home owner), but I've never argued! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Congratualtions! You are going to LOVE these speakers Can't wait to see some closeups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Biggest problem with the room...it's missing a WALL! Opens up into the kitchen, but these things can still sound wonderful even with the limitations. Has me REALLY excited for the next house.

Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Now, back to the box with the damage...suspicion confirmed... [:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 And that scratch perfectly corresponds to the hole in the box...claim filed w/ American Cinema equipment now...being EXTREMELY helpful I've had nothing but a first-rate experience dealing with them.

Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 A LOT more to come on this thread in about 7-8 months, at which point I will have a room to do with what I please (and the only pics will be movie posters). I'm really excited about it. Regarding sources, the Cambridge and Stanton TT aren't being hooked up here...will wait until new home. Roomie's new PS3 is workin blu-ray duty (not bad), and I'm just running FLAC and .wav files from media PC...still sounding awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ah, I remember 20 December 2007. That was the start of "the experience" that hasn't diminished since that first day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandoyen Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 hasn't diminished since that first day... I'm countin on it! By the way, Mark from Reno HiFi was gonna let me demo the First Watt in home, but not enough time before I leave. I'll have an order in with him when I get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2012 Now, back to the box with the damage...suspicion confirmed... [:'(] Ouch! Not cool at all, especially for the price you paid for them. What are you plans? With this setup, your roomie might not ever let you move into your new house.
