Max2 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ahhh. Did not catch there is an XD and XP version. The XP's are much more doable. So what is retail these days for a set of Jubs? I'm guessing a little veneer on the front really steps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 As long as you don't hear something like the MWM's, I'd say you're at the bottom of the rabbit hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room is about 20' wide and 10-12' deep and the jubes were in front side of khorns in the corner along the long wall, it's a really tough room for speakers. I tried to get him to move them into the bigger room but he really likes what he has in there now. We were there for almost a week recently and he is thinking about selling them, I told him figure out he wanted for them, someone may be interested? I really wish he would give them a try in another room, but he is sentimental about his old favorites which is fine, it's really whatever makes him happy. I do love giving him a hard time and he expects it by now, we have traveled together many places and always have a good time even when it got crazy and dangerous at times, but always fun. You are right and if I remember correctly Hardwood floors facing a bunch of windows. I bet he's a riot to travel with ! He really had a passion for Klipsch , it saddens me that he doesn't come on the forum much anymore . I don't know him very well but I really enjoyed my visit and the couple of conversations we've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, and just when I thought it was the bottom... Excuse my ignorance but what are MWM's? I did a search to no avail... OK my opinion here.... I would say if you can get jube bass bins over the MWM's do it. I use the MWM and have plenty listening time on Jube bass bins at a friends house. Very similar sound but I think the Jube may go lower, just a guess I don't really know. Plus the Jube is much smaller, really not much of a bigger footprint than a Khorn. Either is great but I am not going to try to anybody MWM's are BIG, I love them but even after 8 years with them, there is no way to explain them but huge. Look at that pic on page 3, that room is 24' wide and 18' deep to the sofa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I have been on many cruises, trips to the mountains, on rental pontoon party boats in Fla, kayaking and other places together with him and his GF. He might read here sometimes but usually busy, he got into working with production companies setting up concerts and other shows, I guess it's a production company, or a few of them ? not positive how that works, he tried to explain it to me. But you're right he is a riot, and we have fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32blownhemi Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 OMG, yes they are huge! And although I'm going to say they are overkill for me I must remember there was a time I said that about the Jube's! Do the Jube's need to be in a corner?

Trentster5172 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Do they need corners? No- not at all, but I am seeing/hearing excellent performance in frequencies below 40hz by cornerloading mine. If you check my REW screenshot on the first page you can see I'm hearing things very well down to 25hz which is pretty remarkable. 20hz can still be heard, but it starts to get pretty quite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Oh,and deer aren't much higher than road hazards.... I wish they could disappear from around where I live. Heck, we have 15/20 in the field in front of the house nightly and my dogs (which we walk on leash at night) think their droppings are little grapes or something and go after them....
