richieb Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 === through a chance meeting at a family members funeral, we met and have fast friend with a family from Norway. It’s amazing how much Roy and I have in common with cars and hifi. He has heard or owned many of the Euro big names - B&W, Dynaudio, Tannoy, Diavaliet, Triangle to name a few. Never owned but a fan of horns and Klipsch lore, he drove three hours to experience what is Jubilee. I’ve never really seen anyone stunned before but he was near speechless and what he described as “effortless, better than live piano, seamless transitions, buttery smooth mid-band”. “Puts the latest B&W Diamonds to waste”. “The center staging is perfect”. He kept shaking his head “I can’t believe how good these sound, no matter what you (me) have invested, the best rig I have ever heard. Some of KC’s best BBQ and a blast to 130 in the ‘Cat didn’t hurt things either. I think he enjoyed his stay — 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Glad I didn't stop in on my last trip to KC. If there are three things I cannot stand, it's BBQ, fast cars, and buttery music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 That IS a cool story. What's just as cool is when someone who has been a lifelong Klipsch hater......hears Klipsch 'done right' and they do a complete 180 and begin diving into the madness.

A BDay bucket list check mark so to speak. And maybe, just maybe, a ‘Cat blast to 160? ( please bring cash for bail, lots of it) Ive got good connections to a good tow service and an even better attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine has a 69 Chevelle and took me for a "spin" about a year ago!! As much fun as I thought it would be, it scared the crap out of me. How bout a Cat blast to 50? The Jubes are on for sure though. I go to KC at least twice a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
