richieb Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I believe this has been discussed but is there a consensus on the number(s) of “Underground” Jubilee’s in the general public? Professional installations excluded - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 1. I don't know any official numbers BUT, at one time, started to keep notes (as many new buyers asked some of the older buyers questions so I had an inkling of who was interested) 2. Kept a spreadsheet.....got a bit overwhelming so stopped BUT, Chris A kept some of the notes. To that end, it appears to be around 50?

Schu Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 need to delete that audition list... auditions aren't need for a speaker that isn't made any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I know I've been absent for a while, but when did they become unobtainium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the advent of new improved model ($35K a pair!!) a decision was made to discontinue. I and others thought maybe the full 3 way cinema units might still be available but no not those either. I believe Schu got THE last pair from Cory at Paducah Home Theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they are - keeps driving the mystique and prices ^^^^^. And the more unobtainable the continued mystique. The continued “want”. The continued price escalation - .

dmckean44 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I'm probably going to still go for it, DIY plans for the bass bin are available and the K-402, drivers and crossover schematics are all still out there and available. Looks like a tough build though, I've never built anything more than boxes. Edited April 20, 2022 by dmckean44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
