richieb Posted September 20, 2024 Share Posted September 20, 2024 Well, I of course gave Forum members first shot for the “rare as hens teeth” Klipsch Jubilee. No takers, nodda, not a single actual inquiry. Someone playing “scroll the interweb” saw them, swooped in and bingo - Sold. This is my last weekend with them and no, I’m not having a final listen. Things come, things go. It’s just a speaker. Although he is not a forum member - Enjoy them as I have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted September 20, 2024 Share Posted September 20, 2024 End of an era.... Congratulations on the sale. Hopefully there will be no sellers remorse . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted September 20, 2024 Share Posted September 20, 2024 Congrats on the sale. I was truly hoping to make this work since 4 or 5 years back when you and I were kicking it around. I was sad to see you actually list them, sadder to not be the one picking them up. Congrats to FNG! Alas, I just got a set of AMTs to try in my Open Baffle K-Horn replacements. That will make 3 sets of mid drives that I can swap out in 10 minutes or less and with a press of the Xillica buttons new XOs for the proper midrange (Voxativ, Audio Nirvana and ESS AMTs). It's like having 3 pairs of speakers for the price of 5!😁 I was thinking I was done with box speakers but the Jubes with blue wrap would have be the ones to make me go back on my promise. Well I guess I'll give the La Scala's a go when I win them 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess I'll give the La Scala's a go when I win them 😉 Eric - I rarely have regrets when moving on. I’ve owned fast cars, I’ve sold fast cars. I’ve owned large speakers, I’ve sold large speakers. I’ve married fast women, I’ve divorced fast women. I’ve married large women, I’ve divorced large women. So there’s that - Rich - I was hoping these would be yours but the sale came completely out of left field. And to a very nice individual who I’m sure will enjoy them. I actually had to remove the “ To Rich From Rich” sign I had printed just for you - 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a snake oil salesman and do voodoo mind games on your victims. I bought stuff from you that I didn't even want. You asked above market price and I paid more than you were asking! (ok to be fair, I paid your asking plus a bottle of bourbon). All I got in return was some of the worst BBQ (scorched earth) ribs that I have ever attempted to eat. These unethical tricks you play are probably how you were able to afford Jubes in the first place. Sorry, rant over, you started it. 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also accused me of driving Heresy to ~ 126dB or some such bs. Okay, maybe the last one is true, but he's still a liar. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
