Marvel Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 But if memory serves, I believe Dana was accused of lifting the design from someone else. Correct... Yes, Al removed the schematics because someone decided to change a couple of capacitor values by 10%, and then claimed the designs as their own. THAT'S AN OUCH!!!IIRC, the Ascent was a non ported, single 15 bass horn. I have plans for his SLS, which is a ported, single 15. He now has an SL6 that uses a single 15. I think I have drawings for the Ascent at home (and I won't post them, unless just the external cabinet view). I was double checking his math on some of the construction details for him, before he dropped off the forums here. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Did you by chance check his math on the plans for the jamboree as some measurements seem to be off there as well. I have some plans I received from JWC that are a folded 15, would you by chance now much about these. I was thinking of building something simpler then the jamboree. I like the sound but it was a lot of work to build one. I am 50/50 on the fence of half motivation. As I want a second to have a pair, but don't feel like it. I do know that if the Jubilee is better then this and I had cash. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't the Jubs have dual 12" woofers and the Jamboree have dual 15" woofers? I wonder how much difference this alone would make with both optimized cabs? Are the Jubs a little larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Are the Jubs a little larger I think they are similar, but not sure on the sound comparison. I think the Jubilee has 2 folds, and the Jamboree has 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 And finally YES they look similar to Klipsh Jamboree and Jubilee but the similarities end on the photo. The drivers are different, both horns are different, magnets, diaphragms and whole crossover are different. The drivers, magnets and diaphragms on the Jamboree aren't patented, only the bass horn. That bass horn shares far too many similarities to be an original. It's really sad that Dana is good enough to furbish the DIY community with plans to his products, just so it can be plagiarized and rebranded. This is precisely why so many designs are no longer being shared. Really disappointing how often this happens. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Indeed, I think it's out of control, and the only way it will stop is if people quit praising and buying these products, and start boycotting them instead. The stealing is bad enough, but then to read about the hundreds and hundreds of hours they put into a design they had nothing to do with makes me sick to my stomach.

Arash Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 how big is a Jamboree? is there any free-to-use plan? what is the substantial difference between Jamboree and Jubilee?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the comma and the rest of the sentence. I definitely know the technology differences. Too many folks come on this forum and talk like Cornscala is a Klipsch product and close to a semi-consistent design. It is neither of these is true. Here's my Cornscala's (joking) As far as crossovers, as soon as you change anything about the speaker, even the distance between the drivers, (let alone drivers, and horns), the crossover will need to be modified. If you are thinking of one of Al's passives, you may want to build it yourself since he usually has the schematics available and tweak it so the voicing is more correct for your equipment, drivers, and room. You have a altec 511 fitted to what kind of bass bin is that ? a pair of 12's - I have a JBL spec bass bin that was also designed to be a coffee table, that can be modded to take a 511 or an 811. It will then just be a very tall coffee table - It had a JBL that is speced as a 12 but has a 13.5" or so basket - whatever that one is, I was modding it to take a straight 15 altec or EV and tilting the front baffle upward a few degrees, and extending it to take the 511/811 combo with a 802 altec driver. And what's on the top of the 511 ??? Thanks. Srinath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's on the top of the 511 ??? Thanks. Srinath. Hello Srinath, That is a set of Focal 13v-7511 woofers (13" http://nedlab.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Focal-13V7511.pdf ) with an approx 8 cu. ft. box loaded with three Dayton Audio SD315-PR 12" Passive Radiators https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sd315-pr-12-passive-radiator--295-496 on the back. The 511 is loaded with a slightly modified Selenium/JBL d250x along with Selenium/JBL d220ti using what I believe is a Selenium HM17-25 horn. Crossed at around 600 and 4K with 12db crossovers.

Srinath Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Awesome. I think my emi's will get to 600 just fine, maybe even a bit higher, 800 perhaps, because I would not want to buy those selenium's. Its not like I don't have enough crap lying about. Let me look into what the specs are on the others and compare to the jbl's and the altec 802's. Thanks. Srinath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscritorJuan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The used horn loudspeaker that is being sold on Lampizator's site is made by Lukasz Fikus' friend, Wlodek "Sam" Wisniewski, who is an owner of Destination Audio in Warsaw, Poland. I spent some time with him when he was in Chicago. The amp is tri-wired into a large crossover, which Sam custom adjusts to the location. A set of bass cables -- one pair bass, the other, mids and highs -- go to the speakers. How do I know? He set up the pair that he showed at AXPONA 2017 in my man cave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should be rewarded an audio congressional medal of honor I don't know if someone with that level of skills call himself "speaker designer", what should someone like Siegfried Linkwitz call himself! Yep, ripped off Klipsch and JBL all at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
