mowntnbkr Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I went to Spokane this past Sunday and picked up a nice pair of Khorns from Bob Damato. He recently did a review of his Jubilee's. I have been listening for the past 4 days and these are absolutely wonderful. Clarity, soundstage, separation, I now know what all these terms mean. I close my eyes and can see them on stage. I am curious to the exact year of them, the serial #'s are 6m366 and 367, any help would be appreciated. The VRD/BBX combo with these is the ultimate. I must thank Coytee for starting the thread which led to this transaction taking place. I will take pics when I get my TD160 and RCD 1072 hooked up.

Did you get to listen to the Jubilees while you were there? Post a pic of your khorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Choi Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Mowntnbkr: If you ever get out to Seattle area, please come by my house and have a listen to my Khorn setup. It will be interesting to compare notes. Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
