Scotty H Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Hello, I am new Klipsch fan in Richmond Va Have a set of 2015 Jubilees 535s, and Cornwall II Selling everything else!

Chris A Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Wow, traffic jam. Welcome! I assume those units in front of the Jub bass bins are going somewhere else soon...(?) The typical crossover frequency of Jubs is about 400-450 Hz on the low end, so those bass bins are producing sound almost at a tuning fork (A440) frequency, which is pretty directional. Those boxes (I assume that they're Altec Valencias or something else similar) will cramp your style in front of them. See https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/131163-corner-horn-imaging-faq/ Enjoy! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 800hz, even though the web-site says 400hz The Bass bin can easily go up to 1000hz, but I have it set around 800hz as per the experts at Klipsch. ?? Yeah, I do not recommend McIntosh speakers at all. They are on eBay and Craigslist. In front are 1977 McIntosh ML-2M. I now use them just as a table to hold my Vinyl that is spinning. Five way....Six speakers each. 2 12" woofers. Maybe 87db 1watt @ 1 meter on a good day? (If that!)

Scotty H Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) DBX drive rack..... MC275 tubes amps for the Jubilee Mid and Top.... MC352 Solid-State for the Bass bins. ?? Works for me! LOL As you may see, I also use a JL Fathom for sub 40hz notes. Something like that? Also have a JBL Professional Sub (18") Why not? McIntosh Tube preamp with matched NOS Vintage Telefunkens for my Moving Magnet M-10 turntable, and Moving Coil from my Marantz.... Good enough for work!

Scotty H Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 System is balanced to my ears. Results may vary depending on ?? everything! LOL Used many various sampling equipment and tried some auto-Eq stuff....then added my own touch as I walked around my business listening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to Roy (Delgado) - it doesn't get any more expert than that. Anyone telling you it's 800 Hz , I'd like to know their name. The bass bins will surely go to 1200 Hz in terms of on-axis response, but the polars (and corresponding power response) are really, really narrow up there, which doesn't sound very good. That's why everyone that has those jewels cross them at about 425 Hz. per the Klipsch anechoic chamber-derived settings. If you're using the K-510/K-69-A (3-way Jub) on top, you can cross that over at virtually any point above ~2 kHz you want. There are slightly better bass bin settings using a Yamaha SP2060 here: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=106126 Chris Edited August 25, 2015 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERYONE! lol We must all be the same..... I am not listening in an anechoic chamber believe it or not, and YES an expert at Klipsch gave me those recommended settings and I agree with them.

Chris A Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks Richard. I hope that you're enjoying your TADs (all three?). Let me know when your WAF gives you clearance to use the DTS-10s. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Welcome Scotty You are doing right Bi-Ampping, SS for the Bass and tubes for everything above, and one dam fine system i might add. A lot of systems are being run by forum members here, id venture to say no two are alike. I admire your work, you did not come up with that overnight, i know, been there done this. Pay no mind to a few that may jump in with their tech spec's, i asure you they are NOT running close to what we are. Pizzing off the neighbors is easy money for guys like you and me. I dont know about you but once i get my MCM stacks up and running, im out for the neighborhood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's all good for sure Mark, but Chris A has a finely tuned Jubilee set up that will knock anyone's socks off. If anyone's advice should be listened to regarding these speakers, (besides Roy) it would be him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
