LoudnClear Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Even though I want(ed) the jubilees at the pilgrimage, I think it is super duper cool that they went to a class A fellow who has a picture of PWK shaking his hand as his forum avatar.

BobRiff Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Bob, please comment on the sound of the Jubs vs. the Khorns. Bill, Is that a safe thing to do? I wouldn't want to raise a ruckus. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobRiff Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wow...Jubilee's in Bay City. Birthplace of Madonna! I lived just down the road in Saginaw County! Yep, Bay City - that "smelly little town" to quote Madonna. (Sugar beet processing plant). Not sure how long it's been since you lived in Saginaw, but things have changed quite a bit in the last 10 years or so (and not for the better). It's amazing how much the auto industry contributed to the rise (and ultimately the fall) of our State economy. Well, at least the town has one pair of Jubilees now, so we got that going for us.

bhendrix Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi Bob, Yes, I did get your email. I tried twice to respond, but it bounced back saying your email address did not exist. Your perceptions and analysis parallel mine exactly. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRiff Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm glad to see we all agree that they sound better than the Khorns. Duck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Bob, Congrats on getting them home safe/sound. It looks like its a good thing you didn't get the big horn, the left speaker was MADE for its location with the little shelf above it. Had you ended up with a pair of 402's the wife might have thought they were intrusive into her decor! As it is, it fits quite nicely.

Had you ended up with a pair of 402's the wife might have thought they were intrusive into her decor! As it is, it fits quite nicely. Oh I will guarantee she would have considered them intrusive! [] Anyway, I'm VERY HAPPY with their performance. I don't think the sweet spot is any where near as large as I remember the 402's being at the pilgrimage, but to my ears that's the only drawback to the smaller horns. The sound quality of these 510 horns is AWESOME! I'm spending much more time listening to 2 channel than I have in many years and enjoying it immensely, especially vinyl. My old LP's never sounded so good. My next step is to get a new CD player and listen to some DVD-Audio / SACD's. I heard a couple at the Pilgrimage and they sounded pretty good.

[] I lived in Chesaning...southern part of the county. Home of the Chesaning Showboat and former home of Farmer Peets. My sister was a teacher at Saginaw High, so I know about Saginaw. Wished the Lions had listened to her when it came to drafting Charles Rogers, she said he would never amount to anything (he went to Saginaw High). She now teaches at Arthur Hill. BTW I think the 501's would have hid the little shelf and smoke detector nicely[A]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobRiff Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 My understanding is that the Showboat was almost ready to go belly-up because of low attendance. However, this year they decided to switch from the "Lawrence Welk" type bands that they usually have to Buckcherry, Hinder and Papa Roach. I understand that they had overflow crowds...[] I had to laugh when I heard that. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Kind of shocked me too. All I can say is good for them[<)]! My brother was on the parade committee. There were several acts I would have liked to seen...Creedance Clearwater Revisited, the Beach Boys, .38 Special, Edgar Winter, Oak Ridge Boys...wow[H]! Can't say I ever heard of Buckcherry, Hinder and Papa Roach. The first Showboat I went to was in 1957, didn't miss a year until 1979[^]. Can't imagine 10,000 people in Showboat park. Several weeks later they had the Saginaw County Fair, which is a big deal. Around Christmas the Polar Express (which uses the same train the movie was based on). I guess I grew up in a town who likes to put on festivals and fairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
