Parrot Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 With the Jubilee, Klipsch has neatly solved the problem that plagues so many Klipschorn owners: Ring damage on top from potted plants being watered. 6foot8: Have you tried the Jubilees along your long wall, if that's possible? Khorn owners often find that is the preferred location for their speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 ---------------- Yes, for the listeners in the second balcony! ---------------- All the Big Guy has to do is stand up and he is in the second balcony! Paul, I like that water ring idea. 6'8, I'm a little green. Very nice. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The Jubilees look awesome. I reckon it wouldn't take too much effort, if one felt so inclined, to custom finish them to a higher standard. If someone were to order a pair, I reckon Klipsch would talk about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6foot8 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hey all, I was auditioning some different cds tonight and thought I would share my thoughts if anyone is interested. Comparing to my La Scalas (not a true a\ any longer here's what I found. The biggest difference I found tonight was suprisingly in classical (I listened to jazz and light classical). I started off with Maynard Ferguson's "Birdland" whom I have met and seen live numerous times and only really percieved big differences in the bass (harmonics below 70 hertz) more specifically. He sounded real good with either set of speakers. Then I moved on to Paul Duckas "L' apprenti sorcier" performed by the Los Angles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andre' Previn on a Phillips CD recorded in 1990 and ... WOW this is where I really heard the music come to life! The timpani's ripped through my chest and only with a few watts of power! The string basses harmonics filled the room with "warmth"...I have heard this performed live before and the senses remember! Then I moved on to a Telarc cd of Tchaikovsky's 1812 performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erich Kunzel. If anyone owns this cd turn the amplifier down that drives the woofer cabinets...else a woofer will be accelerate dthrough the cabinet! Then I listened to another Telarc cs..."Also Sprach Zarathustra" performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra also conducted by Andre' Previn and then original Batman soundtrack track 10 and was equally impressed. Oh, by the way the pipe organ in Saint-Saens Allegro from the 3rd symphony....WOW! You know the track...has anyone ever been to Disney's EPCOT and gone to the Canadian 360 degree expo where they feature Saint-Saens and the hair raises up on your arms and back...then you know the tune!

edwinr Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Big Man, It's hair raising just reading your impressions! Those Telarc CD's really come to life when played on Klipschorns. I'm just trying to imagine what these Jubilees sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think cannon are grossly underutilized as musical instruments! I like the sound out of my Khorns but it must really sound great out of your behemoths!

3dzapper Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wow! My Adaware SE Plus zapped that site before it loaded DJK. If you visited there, do a spyware scan. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6foot8 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks Scriven, but I'll bet when compared to the khorns there is not as much difference as one would imagine. The Khorns are such fantastic speakers that in order to get anything to sound just a little bit "better" I'll bet would cost an inordinate amount of money.

One of the most popular speakers ever made. Even with its faults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot, and have tried others. Nothing seems to help. Any other suggestions? Running XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I only use Firefox now (still on Windows 2000), but I've been told the newer software from MS on XP works really well. With Firefox, I almost never get popups or spyware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I haven't found anything better in the freeware domain that SE Plus. IMO it is worth the 20 or so dollars to upgrade. I also keep Spyware Blaster loaded and current. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
