The separation of instruments and clarity, is like nothing I have ever heard.... I am glad to hear so many people tried them and hear the same thing I did, with something as close to a Jube as you can get anyway. I hated to constantly say it thinking people may take it as just bragging about a speaker. But it was really bragging about the sound which is the best I have ever owned, easily.

Congratulations, it will be fun to really see what they sound like not in a barn, this should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At past opportunities, (when Roy was playing them for a crowd), I would ask him to mute the bass bins, then swap and mute the HF horns. I personally think the K402 alone, like you say, sounds cheap & tinny. The bass bin alone, sounds like mud... click them together and it amazes me how they gel together as a single sound.

I do like the sound of the D-75A. On the one powering the LF on my Jubilee's, occasionally the red light would illuminate on the left channel. Could not hear any sound issues. I swapped it out with another D-75A, and the red light would come on occasionally on the right channel. No sound issues. Anyone else have this issue with the Crown's ?

Chris A Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I find that just turning the amplifier off until it completely discharges (about 10-15 seconds) then turning it back on again usually clears any issues that you describe. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHall Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 As I’m in my final half hour waiting for my jubes to arrive via freight truck, I was able to finish reading this whole thing. Very fitting. Perfect way to amp yourself up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this many times. If someone played it like that for me and a I did not hear them together I would want no part of either, no matter what other parts you add to it. It's terrible like a cheap clock radio and as you said muddy bass. But together it's like you said it gel's and has a great sound. It's kind of shocking really.

Schu Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 ^that's not really unique or exclusive to the jubilee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2018 Probably not but when your looking at that big horn and it sounds like a clock radio it's a little crazy, and huge bass bins sounding terrible and sloppy. It's hard to believe it would sound like that when working together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
