100% no need for sub

Theoretically no, but I have been doing a lot of experiments over the last month or so and sometimes I turn the sub off and sometimes I turn it on and play with the curve/filter. I'm still up in the air to see if I keep it.

congratulations on the room and the speakers -- i bet the system sounds awesome!

Thanks kindly!

 

I thought the system sounded better than anything I had previously heard but I have since worked on iterating on all the different parts of it to arrive at something even better. I've been the beneficiary of all the wisdom on the forum from various team members and I have iterated on the following in roughly this order

 

- amps (feel like mc225 is ideal for HF but First Watt has also sounded great)

- preamps (settled on my Bozak mixer)

- dac (moving from Bluesound nodex to NAD C658)

- dirac use (about to start experimenting when it arrives next week)

- room tuning (wow - what a difference bass traps make in clearing up muddy bass)

 

I intend to write up my diary of experiments and share but I feel like half the magic is the speakers and the other half amps, room, room correction, etc...I'm not there yet but it sure is fun getting there.

 

best, Sasha

I just thought I would pop in saying I still enjoy my jubilees wondering how the rest of you feel several years later?

 

I’ve played around with the settings quite a bit, took the measuring them exactly where they should be placed in my room in a triangle back to my seating position with fantastic results. Both music and. For movies. And I still get goosebumps with a really good recording or really good movie soundtrack. How are the rest of you enjoying yours?

I wish.  If I had 'em they'd prolly have to add the "defib" to my pacemaker.  😂

I am enjoying mine, thank you very much. I now have a Topping LA90 D driving each of the mid and tweeters and Topping B200s driving the bass bins. So 6 separate amps, 1 for each driver(or pair in the bass bins). Then Crown K2s driving the 2 Danley TH215s and 1 TH Spud. It is scary how loud it CAN get and yet still be crystal clear. And yes a very good tool for IDing bad recordings and listening to re mastered good recordings.

I would love to jump up to the Heritage line but alas it is not in the cards for me.
