rosey 8 Posted November 21 Helo again Chris ! Yes, I'm asking for your support in my deqx 535b 3 way? 2 way conversion, using the deqx. I intend to show the community the efforts in most any format I can figure out and will welcome everyone's ideas. Truth is best and hope this takes all closer👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parlophone1 231 Posted November 21 Hy there. I will try to answer your question about K69A driver, although I do not have direct and personal experience with it. It should support 2-way operation as you mentioned, and it should be enough to serve as a starting point doing that. I have recently been in a position to almost buy a second hand K-402 horn with that driver but did not manage to get them. If you find that K69A does not do it for you, then upgrade to a better driver later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I've seen older conversations about using the k 69a driver in a jubilee base/402 horn 2 way application. My question is does the k69a driver support a 2 way jubilee application? It's what I've got from the 535d 3way and just trying to understand if it's a starting point or not. Thx much, rosey Hi Rosey, The answer to your question is "yes". In stock form, the K69 driver was the tweeter driver attached to the tweeter horn, K510. The K402 horn had the K1133 driver attached to it. What Roy did was remove the midrange DRIVER and the tweeter DRIVER. He moved the TWEETER driver (K69) down to the MIDRANGE (K402) horn. So for residential use, the K402 was used as the top horn and it had the K69 attached to it. If someone had a stock 3-way Jubilee and converted it to this residential format, they they would have the K510 horn lens and the K1133 midrange driver laying around (unused) after all the dust settled.

rosey 8 Posted November 22 Thanks for the confirmation coytee. Glad I'm not suffering CRS too bad. Would you say going 2way 402/k69a jubilee would be preferable to the full 535b 3way? And remember the deqx I'll be using for either configuration. Just a starting point opinion, as I'll be going back to school so to speak with the deqx with some factory support for the initial efforts.

MenloBob 130 Posted December 2 Any progress on these, Rosey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosey 8 Posted December 2 progress yes, but not for reporting. I'm in the process of cosmetic as well as driver upgrades before I have them in place and ready for initial calibration. I'm hurrying!!🙃 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosey 8 Posted Friday at 03:06 AM (edited) hi all, well as most of my projects go, this one is going slower than I'd like. my question to the 402 users out there at this point is, which would you think would be superior. jubilee 402 2 way or 3way? 3 way would only consider the bms4592 be coax. 2 way are several good 500-20khz + - options. 2 way would free up some nice rack space, chassis and remote p/s. 2 or 3 way would likely be my border patrol 300b valves on mid/highs, 8 watts tweeters, 20 watts mids, or 20 watts on the coax, and k2s on the jubs. also have a crown 4002 xti for future sub if HT use gets in the mix. my musical tastes lean towards acoustic, singer song writer, blues, acoustic jazz, classical, occationally loud rock. ld appreciate your opinions. rosey Edited Friday at 03:25 AM by rosey more details Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I preferred the 3-way over the 2-way. Better midrange detail, lower distortion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coytee 2382 Posted Friday at 05:08 PM 13 hours ago, rosey said: jubilee 402 2 way or 3way? PWK's goal was to take his vaunted Klipschorn back to a 2-way speaker....and we have the Jubilee. Some prefer the 2-way version, some prefer the 3-way version...(although they're all either whack-a-doo or amateur photographers.... (both rule Claude out! , so he's safe)) Anyway, as for output requirements for residential use, the 2-way (if that is your cup of tea) is WELL more than enough to tuck your tail and run you out of the room if you get careless with the volume. So if the 2-way can run you out of the room, the 3-way could perhaps run you out of the entire house (again, if you got stupid with the volume) BOTH will play as quiet as a whisper if asked.... So I'd imagine in the end, it's a bit up to you and your preferences. When I compared the 3-way Khorn to the 2-way Jubilee, it was hands down, no contest. The Jubilee was much more coherent and "one voice". Not being too familiar with the 3-way version, I wonder how the extra crossover affects the intelligibility that I noticed by dropping it with the Khorn? If I'm you and you have all requisite parts, I say go ahead & set one up as 3-way on one side.....set the other up as 2-way on the other side and do some (mono) side by side comparisons to see what you think.

mark1101 613 Posted Friday at 08:25 PM I have always preferred the 3-way Jub over the 2-way. But honestly since the recent trip to Roy's lab now I can't say why. The 2-way Jub blew me away. This was the 3rd time I heard Jubs in that room in Hope. Clearly, Roy has evolved the presentation of the Jubs. If I could get THAT sound in my house it would be the end-all for me. I don't think 2 or 3 way has as much to do about it anymore. We were supposed to be there to hear the new Heritage models and I walked out wondering why my expensive setup doesn't match what I heard when he played the Jubs. I have TAD 4002s on my 402s, and 691s on my 510s. I have a Xilica processor. Mcintosh preamp/amps. Roy only had a pair of 691s on his new version 402s, and it appeared he still had the same EV DX-38 processor and same Jub cabinets I saw in there 10 years ago. He had a new QSC Pro Theater amp. The drivers, amp, and newest version of 402 horn are probably all that changed in 10 years..........besides the processor settings and maybe wires. I would just get the standard 2-way now......which gives you those exact speakers........and go to the next education session, listen.........talk to Roy..........and especially look closely at that room. I know we all like to tinker and find our own sound. But I don't think I could do any better than that. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosey 8 Posted yesterday at 01:32 AM wow, now youve got me thinking! so these education sessions, how does one find out what the schedules are? would obviously want the jubilee 402 system to be on the itinerary. thx for the tip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark1101 613 Posted 6 hours ago Check out the museum threads. So far there has only been one. Get the speakers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
