ClaudeJ1 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 BTW, after owning many different Klipsch speakers over the years, and always having 2 Khorns and a LaScala center all along since my early 20's (30 years), I sold that entire setup to Hpower 11 years ago for a very reasonable price. I delivered the Khorns to him back then, as I was driving up to Ottawa to pick up 4 MWMs' bins to start my Commercial Klipsch/JBL/EV "horn stack" journey in 2007. Those MWMs influenced my Quarter Pie design, but I have always wanted Jubes in addition to all my other stuff (don't ask). l So now it's only fitting that I have come full circle and bought HIS Jubilee Clones. LOL. This where the expression "all good" truly comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to drinking French Canadian beer, which I've never had, even though I was born in Montreal. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a "just the facts" kind of guy with an engineering background. So hope I've answered your original question adequately by sharing my experience. I believe that we are better off thinking we are lucky instead of smart. The minute we think we are too smart, the "system" will bite us in the butt via an overzealous government official, which, luckily, I didn't get this time through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that setup will be down the basement with a new 4K projector on a 120" screen this year, in the "new" 1944 brick house. The Jubes are for my living room 2 Channel setup, now that I have a living room instead of a second story "cave," I wanted some pretty speakers for a change. I have TWO of the Yamaha CX-A500's with the amazing ESS Sabre DAC chips and YPAO room correction, so now I will have one for 2 channel, and one for 7.4 HT (or 6.4 depending on whether I use Heresy's ot TD-1's for surrounds). I have some work to do in the room before I decide to upgrade to Atmos 7.4.4.. That will require building my own on/in ceiling speakers (I have too many drivers not to). Well, your new acquisitions are beautiful. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 FYI, this is one of the many, many iterations of commercial horns I did back in 2007, right after I sold my Khorns/LaScala to Hpower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has a loft in a 1930s Packard dealership. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing your new place. BTW, I believe the statute of limitations for underage drinking in Quebec has long since run, so feel free to admit to sampling beer in Montreal as a youth.

DizRotus Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Years ago, as we entered US from Toronto, a customs official asked us about a small piece of "art" we received as a wedding gift. The customs official was puzzled as to how to evaluate it. We agreed that neither of us would pay $50 for it, so that was that. We've since given it away. Don't tell our friends who gave it to us.

No sampling until late Jr. High in Mich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 OK; got this 1977-80 JVC P-3030 preamp off eBay. Tested it vs my PAT-4 and my neighbors PAS-3. Think it sounds much better, but no clue. Anyone familiar with these? Some more pics in next post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 OK; seems the "2 MB" limit has a time constraint. Very nice components ... bass/treble/volume knobs are all "discrete." Anyone familiar with this? Only info I found was $450 in 1978 and specs on hifiengine. Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
