popbumper Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Dean - well, you're already old - so you are halfway there. [] Me? Old AND grey - so I guess it's time for me to pony up for the Jubilee!!! [:S] Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 and another. I'll add this...I was surprised by how the pic came out myself. As I said, both Mike & I thought it looked kind of cool. Every now & then I'll "think" I see a picture and take it. Sometimes it comes out (like this one did) and other times, they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Coytee's photo helps account for the height in this case - the bass bin is sitting ABOVE the catwalk, apparently MUCH taller than those around it. It's a BIG speaker, guys. Would be BIG BIG overkill for my 20' x 21' room. But what the heck......[<)] Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Trey and me once got into a discussion about how big is too big for a room. We both decided it's only too big if you can't get it into the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Sry guys, but the pic is NOT photo shopped... it was taken my myself. Here is another I took. [] is the guy in the picture photoshopped? he is sticking his tongue out or am I crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 You'd have to ask Mike (Mikebse2a3), Larry (LarryC), Mr Legs (forget who it was) or perhaps Roy as they all seem to be looking at him. I noticed that and thought it was perhaps his finger... I was focusing on trying to get a pic of the Jubilee before they booted us out OR decided taking pics inside the chamber was illegal. As for any more thoughts on pics being photoshopped... you have some other witnesses there that can verify it existed as shown. Twas part of the 'price' we had to pay by being there a tad early [A] Roy even played it for us while we were inside the chamber with the door closed. He asked us if we'd like to hear it and we're all like "uh... NOOOOOOO" (very sarcastic of course) He closed us in and who would have thought... he played his test tone sweeps. I was expecting some Freebird or something (stupid me). Little did I stop & think that he was in process of testing it so that was all he had to use. I don't recall if he started low & swept high, or vice versa. I think he went easy on us with the volume though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 DeanG.....yes But.....You can hear how PWK heard the Jubilee.....By DIY. Tinkering and back engineering is part of the fun. I agree 100%. I have been following Gil's thread closely, so it's not out of the question that I might give it a try ... or two ... or three ... etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wouldn't all that dust in the Jubilee interfere with a smooth frequency response? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I heard a pair of these at 6Foot8's a couple of months back. I believe he said he had the first pair ever distributed. His were tri-amped with some big 'ole SS amps! The were in a room that was probably 25' x 25', and the back opened up to the kitchen. They are impressive, I tell ya!

3dzapper Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 What was Roy testing on those Jubes? Could it be those white braces in the rear part of the bass bin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 What was Roy testing on those Jubes? Could it be those white braces in the rear part of the bass bin? He was designing the passive crossover for it. Btw, I think it's friggan hilarious that Roy played some test tones for you guys - only an engineer would ever do that, lol. Isn't it wierd/cool listening in the chamber though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well! lol... Though I agree with the atitude, there is a point where you can get too big. There is a distance from the mouth of every speaker and every horn where the sound doesn't exist. It's gotta travel for a bit before it becomes a coherant wave front and will be percieved as a single sound source. So if you go too big there is a good chance that your listening position ends up in the 'dead zone'. Try sticking your head right in front of the 18" subs at the next concert you go to and notice how it doesn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wouldn't all that dust in the Jubilee interfere with a smooth frequency response? Rumor has it that with it's awesome output, the Jubilee becomes self cleaning at anything above 3 1/2 watts. Those of us with moderate to high powered amps can have a continueously dusted Jubilee while those with SET's will be stuck with cleaning chores themselves. (now before anyone bashes me, I said that thinking Parrot was a SET lover who picks on PP or SS, but I realize it might be the other way around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if you are closer than 12 feet to a Klipschorn -- the bass doesn't sum properly. There is a problem too if the corners are too close together.
