tpg Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well... not exactly the same... They look kinda pretty, though. I was excited for a minute (even though I probably wouldn't be able to afford a pair). Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey said in a 11/19/03 post: ****It can't be said with certainty that what we heard is what PWK poses with in the picture. Probably so, as far as the bass bin. . . . there were only one pair of finished Jubilee speaker. The speaker you see PWK standing next to is one that you heard. The difference is the speaker in the PIC Horn is just pretty. It did not work. No driver on it . . . What we heard was the same LF with a pro composite horn and the B&C driver.**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the computer speaker market is more important grrr. Isn't that one of the last speaker designs he worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 A rather esoteric item. Production models would run around $13K -- and who would buy them? How many here have bought new Klipschorns? So, Klipsch should gear up for Jubilee production so they can sell three or four pairs a year? Something HAS to be marketable before it can feasably be brought to production -- that is just reality. There is a pro version of the Jubilee. If one was so inclined, they might be able to purchase the bass bin, and then DIY the tops and networks. I do think Klipsch should at least offer the home version of the Jubilee as a kit -- in honor of The Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Here's what you do, you buy a pro theater version and have Greg or someone else good veneer it up, after market, custom order. http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=502&dmore=True&rmore=False How much are your Jubilee networks, Dean, if someone wanted to throw away (sad waste) the top of the theater version?

Just seems it would be worth it to bring one of PWK's last designs to market. As far as who would pay for it look at what some people spend on speakers. It seems some morons out there think it can't be good if it's not expensive hell I know some. I call it dollar psychosis. I would bet they would sell more than a couple a year. Hell It would be really nice to see something new come out of Hope again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Seti -- would it make a difference if I told you that I have it on good authority that the AK-4 Klipschorn sounds "better"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Wasn't it John Albright who liked the Klipschorn with the AK-4 better than the Jubilee? And Al K. wasn't totally sold on the implementation of the 2-way Jubilee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I can understand. You are right a diy kit would be very cool for the Jubilee. The industrial version is a monster would love to hear that....

Deang Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 It's designed for 'behind the screen' applications -- and I bet it has a very IN YOUR FACE presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I think Dean is right about the small number of Jubilees which would actually be sold. Klipsch sells only 100 pairs of Khorns each year. That's a pretty small number to keep the Khorn in production, I'd guess. Don't have a clue how many Jubilee's would need to be sold to be feasible.

Deang Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well, a hundred pairs a year might be a good number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed3 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I don't think the home version of the Jubilee is the same as the pro version, and if memory serves correctly, it isn't his design. I believe that in his biography, it is explained how the Jubilee came about and how staff was trying to convince him to send it to production. From what I recall, Mr. Klipsch felt that production costs were to high and could not be sold at a good "value". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
