Trentster5172 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (Update- page 3 for REW curves and Xilica settings for my particular room from Chris A) 'm up and running!!! Everything went smooth today with the delivery. I was listening within an hour. A great big thanks to Chris A for his knowledge, help and Xilica settings!!! These things are awesome!!! Huge thanks to Cory @MetropolisLakeOutfitters it was an awesome purchasing experience. I ended up talking to him on the phone several times. Super guy and knows his stuff when it comes to a special order like this. Since I bought Jubes from him he even gave me a killer deal on the Xilica XP-4080 and a couple of Parasound A23's. Now that I'm broke, lol, I'm going to retire down to the dojo and have a listen. My first impression is these things look big and sound concert big. I was very nervous selling my Klipschorns, but these Jubilees are definitely the next step, and it's not a small step! The bass kicks you in the chest and they actually dig pretty darn deep into the 30hz range. Drums are unreal through these things! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Magnificent... hope to join you someday, but I am a little apprehensive about having to invest in more technology just to get my speakers up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Cool room. Jubs actually look proportional to the room and the corners. You might try aiming the K-402s down at the "1" to "1.25" position on the mechanism slide scale on the back of the K-402 stand to move the ceiling reflection point out away from the Jubs a little--which will improve vertical imaging. You can also try placing absorption panels/squares on the side walls at the exit of the K-402 or even just temporarily tack up some thick fuzzy material like a blanket or comforter (as we discussed). This will strongly improve the center phantom image while listening near centerline. When everything is dialed in, the whole room from wall-to-wall should be a "sweet spot". Enjoy!

JohnJ Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Interesting choice of portraits for your theater @Trentster5172... John & Clint. Their movies, that system... if the neighbors aren't there they'll be looking around the corners of their homes to find where the shots came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentster5172 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks all! Chris A- I'll try that. Looking forward to working with REW later in the week. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Congratulations! You are showing all the symptoms of a new Jubilee owner. You do realize there is no cure and the silly grin on your face will continue. I always ask ----- what tunes did you demo your system on? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Congratulations Trent! You're gonna need a bigger screen now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the reviews coming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you and your neighbors are not right on top of each other. Perhaps you meant when they go home and fire up the Bose cubes they'll have regrets. The setup looks great.

Bela Fleck- Flight of the Cosmic Hippo Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly, Time and Coming Back to Life Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow Stone Sour - Zzyzx Rd B.B. King - How Blue Can You Get from Live at the Regal Disturbed - Sounds of Silence Guns and Roses - November Rain Santana - Maria Maria Dire Straits - Money for Nothing Childish Gambino - Redbone I watched Logan tonight- awesome. Tried the phantom center but prefer the Heresy III as a center. Cut the subs at several settings but ended up crossing the Jubes at 80hz for movies in the end. I listened to the new Imagine Dragons LP, the new Stone Sour LP, Def Leppard Pyromania LP. For 2-channel I only used the Jubilees- no subs. They are that good- especially with the LF boost Chris A gave me for my Xilica XP-4080. Then select Santana, Pink Floyd, Bruno Mars, Rush, 2Pac, Led Zeppelin, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
