Slight correction.... the Jubilee makes the LaScala sound like a bookshelf speaker......and the MCM makes the Jubilee sound like a bookshelf speaker! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The junk on them that is since the valuable dust will go with them. I do have one picture though. Looking at your picture, it dawned on me that if you stacked books on those horizontal braces......then the MCM system would then be.......wait for it..... a bookshelf speaker! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Coyotee, That's a good one! Do you think my significant other will now understand why we "need" these in the den. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to think of it as a multi tool work bench storage area and audio engine. I am going to make the S MWM and use tan color tinted Duratex on it so I won't have to pretend to feel guilty about all that dust. I figure the tan will look good no matter how dusty.

They did this because field techs complained about changing fuses in hard to get to places so they and Klipsch decided the right way would be to make sure you controlled output electronically. Some sound guys would load them up more and more as the crowd shouted louder and then the inevitable happened. I can only imagine the volume levels you are dealing with. Fuses on mine were on the outside back panel of the W Bin in the Crossover Compartment. Not a hard change. At the time Klipsh was not known for Pro Bass Drivers. They suggested the Cetec-Gauss exchange. I also swapped out the Tweeter array with Rinkus-Heinz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year were they suggesting that? I believe that the K-43 became the stock woofer for the MWM's because there were problems. I thought the Gauss drivers were not supposed to sound as good but they could handle gobs of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first year they came out. Our Halloween Party was a debut for them. Delivery was 3 days before; Install was 2 days before, that night blew out the W Bins; 4 Gauss drivers were put in two seats on a plane for "immediate" delivery, I had to go to the airport and haul them off the plane; Installed the Gauss' the second I got back and fired them up using the same Crown amp. WOW!!! They sounded incredible. With 1 day to spare. I had used Gauss before and had always liked them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise what you see is the condition on all sides and these have not been dropped nor under serious abuse that I can see. Cabinets are dirty but in very good condition. Last two pics are examples of Dave not being able to control himself when the ogre of used speakers rears his ugly head. With the S-MWM's coming I am going to start cleaning out some of this. I promise as a New Years resolution to not buy more fixers until what I have here is fixed. I have some Altec A-7's that are good project speakers and if you are interested PM me. I may decide not to complete them and just sell off what I have as is. I need those... Just to piss the neighborhood off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow#422 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not only was a pick-up truck not big enough to transport these in 1 load, I have not a single 36" entryway door into the house. An enclosed trailer was doable, but having these reserved for garage duty use only was definitely a barrier to ownership. Oh ya, single piece double bass bins & my back would surely have been another "sore" issue. Congratulations to both parties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find a KPT-456 or 904 or 942 you would have a speaker I could live with for the rest of my life and much smaller. The MCM 1900 is clearly superior but the other ones are the real deal too. I unloaded those double bins with a fork lift. 288 pounds if I remember right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is here on the forum at times I don't know that he posts though. He was getting a set of KPT 456's and could not handle the pressure of driving away knowing next time he was here the MCM's would be gone so he fixed that problem. His problem is that when he gets around to picking them up I will have the S-MWM's with that yummy 402 on top. He will have to leave with envy though since those are my for real keepers.
