justinsweber Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Time to sell off the summer projects. These are clones of Klispch Jubilee I went through these completely and built new top-hats to hold the elliptical midrange horn. We brought them back down to the wood. All joints have expanding glue used to ensure tight panels. 2 12” Eminence woofers per speaker are bolted to the doghouse. Wired in silver-plated hookup wire. Bass bin binding posts are on the top doghouse door. The high frequencies/top hat houses the Fastlane Audio Eliptrac with a Faital HF200 2” compression driver. ALK Engineering designed an extreme slope network (ESN) crossing at 500hz. Simply put these are the finest speakers I’ve ever heard. My wife has made it clear that they are not welcome in the home and as such they must go. Priced to sell quickly. $3,300 Justin 323--868-9722 Can aid with road freight transport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Star Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 How do you like your VPI amp? btwGLWS. Those speakers would complete any man cave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 How sad Justin. So how big a diamond or which new car might give her thought to change her mind?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Buy a bigger house or one with a separate shop to do with as you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 The VPI 299 is a beast. It belongs to my good friend Pere. It's a rectified el34 integrated amp. What's not to love ;-). The wife has had a nice rock. The shop has my royal speakers which are big monsters too. The Jubs just take size to the next level. It's like having 2 khorns, and a belle for center fill and a horn sub for the lows. It's that impressive. I think ALKs crossover makes this combo so good. I k ow the HF200 and the eliptrac. This is more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If only I'd seen this a few months ago. Very nice Justin, a little more compact than Jubes with the big Horn on top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon string Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 what a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Im semi negotiable, the wife was clear. She is support supportive so I have to give to her when she puts her foot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I had Cornwalls and my wife made me sell because they were too big. I can only imagine what she would say about these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I consider my self lucky in that my wife says little about hifi spending but I do get the eye-roll and "so what are you selling" when $$$ become "how much" are those? Plus we have a big downstairs where I can comfortably place any speaker, Jubes, so as not to clutter up the living area. As they say - it all comes out in the wash.

geoff. Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My wife divorced me and got my Polk Audio Monitor 70's (4 of them) as part of the deal. She said I never had any time to listen to her. Couldn't wait to get rid of... the speakers... LOL! THEN, the fun began! I have Cornwalls in the master bedroom now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was that with the layout of our bedroom we couldn't open/close the door to the bedroom so I had to put the Cornwall in FRONT of the end of the dresser. She didn't like that. We ended up moving to a new house this summer that has a wider wall and now I have Forte's. I wish I had kept the Cornwalls, but I didn't have much choice at the time.

justinsweber Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I still will own 2 pair of cornscalas and 1 pair of heresys. But the jubs really don't fit in my SoCal home. My Royals (JWC punch based are in my studio for the Co. The Jubs are the best I've heard but just to monsterious. Now I know. There is a size limit. Didn't think so before.

justinsweber Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I had thought Id buck the trend... appears gravity does pull downward... not to please to know it. In rare occasions she had a point :-(. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Price drop $3300. Firm at that number. But think it’s an insane deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a size limit. Didn't think so before. Directed more at a casual reader than you Justin... The Jubilee's were originally designed to replace the Khorn and keep the same footprint. If you put Khorns in a corner and Jubilee's in a corner, that metric was met from a physical perspective. (they DO look monsterous, especially with the huge K402 on top) but still..... if someone has room for Khorns, then they would have room for the Jubilee's. (just trying to guard against a casual reader thinking they're mega-monsters when in fact, they can easily be interchanged with Khorns and how many thousands of Khorns are out there?)

JL Sargent Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 So If I'm following this: The Jubilees = Khorns + the corners they sit in? Just image two refrigerators sitting in your living room and you have the size about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
