billybob Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 We are getting some good or great information on home use. Anyone have anything as of yet on larger spaces? Likely happening and just out of the forum view so far?Underground Jubilee as well may offer some enlightenment. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom05 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Good question, I remember listening to a set of Klipschorns playing in a really small room , maybe 10x10 , they sounded ok , but they didn’t sound nearly as good as Khorns playing in a big room . I don’t think these big horn speakers perform at their very best at anything approaching near field listening , better to give them plenty of room .In other words I think the Jubilee will be even more fabulous in a larger venue. , interested to hear some comments 🤓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Other places like church, bar, lounge, outdoor have used the LaScala Heritage and pro for example for their purposes. Wouldn't be surprised if listening lounges in europe/other were to adapt to this full range speaker. Thanks Tom05... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the real Duke Spinner Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 You need a bit of space to " unfold" the bass frequencies. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Think Paducah may have gotten around to their outside display given the time, effort, weather with their recent get together. Big Maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My present room is about 20x 22 with 10ft celings.the full MWMs produced the best bass I've heard, even at low volumes. I actually had some people tell be the MWM bass is better than the UJ bass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWM bass is very nice, no matter what size the room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 You need a bit of space to " unfold" the bass frequencies. [emoji846] But isn't that the purpose of a folded horn to "unfold" the bass frequency? Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Chief bonehead Posted November 5, 2022 Klipsch Employees Share Posted November 5, 2022 9 minutes ago, the real Duke Spinner said: Ok, Roy Share us some Facts please Because of the large horn the imaging and soundstage remains the same. Outside the bass if full and does not falter because they are set to curve flat in half space which basically means that you at least have a floor. In rooms you start to add room gain and Michael mentioned he removed most of that. Will they sound good outside? Yes. Will they sound good in a large room 30x40? Yes. Will they sound good in a small room? Yes. That’s they beauty of large constant coverage horns. Hope this helps. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom05 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I’m sure that the Jubilee will sound fantastic in any sized room , but I’m certain that they will not sound the same in different sized rooms , after all the room size will affect the acoustics of the listening environment. Small rooms have inherent issues , large rooms different concerns. It’s a matter of taste ,as to which is preferred 🤓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yes the Chief was just was just now speaking to something called constant coverage horns as may have said before. (Out of context.) Wave lengths. But yes, variables. Thanks ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a matter of taste ,as to which is preferred 🤓 While that's true as a general rule, are you suggesting that people forgo purchasing their dream speakers just because the only option they have is a small room? Perhaps one day I'll bother moving to a house with a bigger room for them.

This is due to the wide splay angle between the bass bin horn mouths. I believe it was Jim Hunter who said that you need to be about 12 feet away for the bass horn mouths to sum properly and then integrate with the MF/HF. The Jubilee does not suffer from this limitation. The speaker acts almost like a point source. You can get quite close to the Jubilee, and it still sounds like one integrated sound source. The Jubilee is nothing like the Khorn in the regard. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom05 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Your room isn’t so small , I’m only trying to point out that the size of the room will contribute to the sound quality good or bad . I’ll never discourage anyone from buying Klipsch , particularly their new flagship model , I think your setup looks fantastic . But In general I do like the sound of a larger room , and that goes for my room also , wish it was bigger . No offense to anyone with smaller rooms , smaller speakers, weaker amps , overweight wives etc .🤓 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
