damonrpayne Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 The tuition thing was sort of a joke. My daughter's college fund is in tact and my son is 8 days old so I have yet to start his. Seriously though, I went to an inexpensive state school, and these speakers cost me just over what 5 years of college cost me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Congratulations! I'm looking forward to see what your impressions of the palladiums are, especially with your Aragon amp. These are already rapidly climbing my wish list! And don't sweat the investment.......that's what student loans are for! My impressions of the Palladium P-39F are already well documented: http://www.klipschcorner.com/Podcasts.aspx On the same electronics, in the same room, I would take them over the Klipschorn any day.

dkp Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 damon-awesome! Did you consider Jubilees? (I don't recall whether or not you've heard them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've heard them, perhaps not in their final "kit" configuration, and was somewhat demonized for not being interested... The P-39F are dead sexy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebse2a3 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've heard them, perhaps not in their final "kit" configuration, and was somewhat demonized for not being interested... Maybe I missed it but I don't remember anyone who demonized you for not being interested in the Jubilee. (Please point out to me the forum threads where this has happened or did this happen in some other way?). I will say if anyone has done that then shame on them. What I and other Jubilee enthusiast have tried to give is honest opinions and facts while trying to dispell alot of misinformation about the Jubilee based on first hand experience. This Palladium vs Jubilee is unnecessary because both speakers I'm sure have their good points. I can tell you all the Jubilee owners and enthusiast that I have personelly met or spoken with are very nice people who I would expect to be among the last people to demonize anyone! mike tn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Damon, If this could be delayed just a couple weeks I would be very willing to make the trip and bring my amps and preamp. Boy am I dying to hear the latest greatest..... It would also give me a chance to visit with Scott, John all the other cheese land Klipsters..... My yearly fishing vacation lands in the last week in May and I would have to have a couple weeks to both have the time and financially recover to make the trip to your place.

Craig Delaying a couple of weeks puts us awefully close to the pilgrimage, where I assume we'll be doing some listening anyway, though perhaps with less gear -swapping freedom than I'm offering. The other option is to delay until August, when I assume Boomac will want to have another Lake Country Fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 No one "demonized" you Damon, though I think I slammed Garrett pretty hard for his lame comments in your podcast. I'm really happy for you, and I hope you enjoy them very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted May 7, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2008 We can have a Palladium party up north in the summer months and the other Palladium party in Florida in the winter months. Who has Palladium's here in Florida? Would love to check them out if someone is nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
