bcarey13 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 ^^^^ I don't know a lot about Home theaters as I'm setting up my first real one now, but is it true that the rear surrounds don't actually have a lot of info coming through them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get as much but throw in a good action bluray and they will get a nice workout, especially if you have them hooked to an external amp. Going from using AVR power to an external amp the biggest difference I noticed was how the rears came to life especially during a good bluray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, it would be I do agree but it's kinda better than just putting them in storage until I can have a dedicated music room for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In The Grey, and many others, there is a lot. Also multichannel music on SACD, including remasters from the Quad era.

It sounds amazing, definitely does not sound like there are any holes in the center or anything like that. It sounds like the music is coming from right in front of me, in fact when I first got the Emotiva and set it to 2 channel I had to get up and physically make sure the center wasn't playing because it sounded like it was. I have no problem with the imaging of the speakers or anything like that. Take that sensation, having to get up and physically verify the center channel isn't putting out any sound, and multiply that by a factor of at least 5 with the Jubes. Find your sweetspot with the Jubes and put down a couch and play around with how wide it is. With that space you have you will be able to get two people in there, maybe three, all saying the "spot" is where they are. It will be a sound unlike you have ever heard before, unless you have been doing some serious testing of some serious high dollar speakers. I'm not sure what problems you may have with 7' ceilings, but as suggested, I would recommend trying to get some input from @Chris A as well as @mikebse2a3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, I said it. I agree, what you should do is get a swivel chair half way between the fron and back walls, (9,5' for you?)listen to your Jubes for 30 minutes, spin 180, listen to Khorns for 30 minutes, spin 180, repeat.

Which brings up a whole different can of worms about 80% of the info from a movie coming from the center channel and that in a perfect world you would want another Jube for center, 2nd choice, LaScala with a 402 on top (Jubescala).

I wonder how they determined that 80 %. If you count dialog, of course the center is worked the most in the average movie. But, in our home theater the music in films seems spread evenly across the front of the room. The sound effects can come from anywhere. Sure, it would be great to put a third Jub in as a center. At least one person on the forum did this. I think his name is Hendricks, or something like that. With a projector and an acoustically transparent screen, 2.35:1, it would be marvelous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a number they have thrown out there for years, I think it is less as the channels have increased, but with wide screen, , if you have dialogue between two actors it is pretty much going to be from the center. I think action is going to take you all over the place. It was bill Hendrix, he had to go with JubeScala because of size limitations BTS.

I hadn't realized until speaking with Cory that you can buy Jubilee's I thought that was just something people built custom. I'm gonna give the breakdown of what I am looking for here and everyone tell me what you think. Don't get me wrong I do love the K-horns but in all honesty they don't have as big of a soundstage as I thought they would, in fact my 88 La Scala's seem to have a bigger more in your face soundstage and that's what I am looking for above all. The K-horns do however have incredible detail, more than the La Scala's and of course much better bass. I guess I am looking for a mixture of both but with that huge soundstage. From what I hear if that's what your looking for you should go with the Jubilee's. Another thing I like more about the Jubilee's is they don't require corner placement. Many people I talk to say the Jubilee is on a complete new level even from the K-horn. All input is greatly appreciated. Im going to TRY to be really cooool about my response to this...... In my "Endeavor(s) to persevere", i learned to say when, i mean WTF? when? WHEN? are you going to get the thought that the norm is just not good enough? Go PRO Or, do you prefer to keep playing the forum members? ARRON? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
