I think so but not like the jubes, at all.

I compare this to what I have here, Cornwall lll, Heresy' 1 and ll, and split LaScala tops on mwm bass bins.  Not a fair fight

 

I don't have jubes, but MWM with the 402 horn on top, is about as close to jubes as you can get. A good friend has jubes so I get to compare regularly.

 

After about 5 years of listening to that combination I thought it would be a good idea to go back and see if the difference was a big as I remembered. I brought in the split LaScala tops and put them on the living room MWM bins using the new AA crossovers built in the tops. LaScala has the same top horns as the Klipschorns.

I was once again very surprised at the difference, not even close, I left them like that until the next day just for fun. I switched them back realizing why I wanted the 402 horn so much, not a fair fight in any way.  Anyone could hear a big difference, it's not like you have to sit and try to decide, it's obvious right away.

 

Don't get me wrong, I could be happy with either the LaScalas + a sub or Klipschorns, but instead I was lucky enough to get the latest version of the klipschorn top. To me the Heritage sound is some of the best out there, I spend many (way to many) hours a week listening to a pair of original Hersey's that are out in the bar in the yard, while hanging in a hammock. 

i like your way of living!
