OO1 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Systems that are used in theaters or commercial applications have much higher usage hours , so wear and tear is a factor , and parts replacement strategies are the norm at set intervals depending on the hours of usage - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't fit through a lot of standard residential doors, even with the door removed. Many have gone through rear patio doors or french doors. Kevin has a nice video of his in his man cave, I will see if I can get a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to presume he would automatically have a pair. They tie up a fair amount of capital. For decades, basically all Klipsch dealers carried only their lowest-cost lines. I assume that the cost of the stock on the floor and space was a major factor in that. Of course, all this might have to do with the dealer cost (under the table--of which I have no direct visibility into), but even at a historic low of perhaps 50% of list price ($17.5K), that's still a fair amount of money tied up in a pair of loudspeakers sitting on the floor that can't really be sold as "new". Chris I think you are right on this point, so now the Mk IV versions of Heritage are the new replacement for Klipsch Inc.s attempt at "high end" which, from all indications, the Palladium Line failed to do for one reason or another. But I do think they should be no more than 10k more expensive than Khorns to buy. I, for one, am happy that the new Jubilee's "all horn" systems approach will now be the new Benchmark product for Klipsch, rather than a tall, skinny, boat tail speaker with ports and a bunch of stacked little woofers as the "flagship."

Engineering trade offs The Jube is more of a LaScala 2 IMHO, no corner required.... Quantization error is irrelevant with modern DSP's. Where do you get the 7 ft. long horn? The now obsolete Jube is more of a LaScala because it's about a 5.5 foot horn and doesn't expand in the vertical, like a LaScala, but rolls off at 60 Hz. vs 104 for a LaScala..............approx.

We had several Klipsch dealers around Detroit in the 70's and they all carried Klipshorns, so it depends on which decades you speak of. Perhaps the Before/After Fred Klipsch in 89 needs differentiation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's something else that is being fed in the human psyche--the same thing that all other ostentatious consumption feeds. You are correct, some rich guys like to brag about how much their speakers cost, rather than having the most lifelike performance of reproduction. Perhaps, the new Jubes can give them BOTH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
