  1. I understand retirement and the changes that it brings ..... The Jubilees are special and I appreciate how that is a difficult decision. They are not easy to let go. On the other hand, you are about to make someone (the new owner) very, very happy. This is my clumsy way of saying .... good luck with your sale, -Tom
  2. Thanks. Depending on how you configure things you can have either 48 or 96kHz sampling. The beauty of this Yamaha unit as opposed to others (eg, some Ashley, DBX and Xilica) is that it can accept digital inputs. That way you can avoid the "extra" DAC conversion and its associated "noise".
  3. This unit is now sold For sale is a Yamaha SP2060 speaker processor. This is a 2 in and 6 out unit. The inputs can be balanced or digital (including AES/EBU or S/PDIF). The 6 outputs are Balanced XLR. There are 8 input filters for left and right channels and 6 filters for each output channel (PEQs, Lo/high shelving, all pass filter for correcting phase shifts, etc). It can do the usual time delay, phase adjustments and offers a variety of crossover types and slopes (about 20 different combinations). Of course the input filters can also be used for some DSP room correction if desired (I would suggest using REW freeware to help with this). Setups can be saved and there is the ability to remotely enter and manipulate the settings via a network (a standard Ethernet cable and downloadable software from Yamaha called "DME Designer"). I have not played with this feature since I simply make the adjustments via the front panel. The asking price is $450. If you want it shipped it will probably cost between $25-40 for shipping within the lower 48. You are also welcome to pick it up in SE Connecticut (about 2hr from NYC or Boston and about 1 hr from Hartford, New Haven, or Providence). These units originally sold for about $2,000. Everything functions and the cosmetics are fine. Here is the manual that will give all the specs. Don't get frightened. It has a ton of capabilities and features but for what we do it is actually fairly straight forward and easy to use. https://jp.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/9/334679/sp2060_en_om_c0.pdf Thanks for looking, -Tom
  4. Well, you have not given us any idea what the overall design might be (priorities, budget etc). So comments by me and others might be be wildly off the mark, but that is not our fault since you were the one that did not provide the design goals. That said, I don't believe the K-402 with an adequate driver needs a super tweeter. I say this for several reasons. First, there is not much energy in the highest octave (either from the instruments originally or in the recording). Second, most of us, if we are willing to admit it, don't have very good hearing up at the top of the spectrum. We think we do, but in reality......... That sad, the original, commercial version of the Jubilee was 3-way system and used a K-510 horn with a K-69 driver as a tweeter and the K-402 was limited to the mid-frequencies. In a commercial application the systems are run fairly loud, 12 hrs/day and 7 days/week so they needed a more robust combination of driver & horns. In a home environment a 2-way is fine. Second, although Be drivers can sound wonderful, finding them is very difficult and spares are nearly impossible to find. In either case, those drivers and spare diaphragms can be prohibitively expensive (again you never specified budget considerations). There are others who used Be drivers on the K-402 (JBL 24xx with Truexent diaphragms or simply used TAD 4002 drivers) and reported great success. These were mostly used on the "old" Jubilee systems. My personal advice is that you should first layout your design goals and priorities. Good luck, -Tom
  5. Coytee, Getting back on topic, sort of, this is a wonderful thing you are doing. Best of luck. -Tom
  6. As of Oct 15th, 2023, the prices has been reduced to $100. Yes, I know this is insane ....
  7. Today is Oct 15th, I have discounted the price to $60. They sell new on Parts Express for $250 More recently, 10/27/23 I may change my mind on this and be willing to ship. My zip is 06365-8617. I'll let you figure out the cost. Keep in mind that UPS always figures out a way to increase the cost a bit when you actually take it to the UPS store.
  8. Probably not the crossover, rather a bad connection or failed solder joint. Swapping the midrange was a good trouble shooting technique and eliminated something expensive. BTW, crossovers are not failure prone (usually), but a bad connection can be. I bet with a voltmeter and a soldering pencil, you could have this fixed in 10 minutes and at no cost.
  9. Another bump Slow down and think about it. Parts Express actually has pre-made boxes for this specific driver (follow the links in the original post) if that makes it easier for you
  10. Sometimes a bump is in order ....... Repeat after me ....... I must buy this, I must buy this, I must ........
  11. Note, the current exchange rate is about 0.74
  12. Edit : November 14th: The subwoofer is now sold Edit Oct 15th: It turns out this still available. In order for a quick sale it is now discounted to $60. Ignore the other prices listed below. ------------------- Is it time to build a subwoofer cabinet? Of course it is !! This is a lightly used 15 inch Dayton Audio sub woofer. (driver only, no cabinet). It can be used in a 3 cu ft box for a F3 of about 37Hz (sealed cabinet) or in a 9 cu ft box for a F3 of 21Hz (vented box). These sell at Parts Express for about $250, I will sell it for $125 (a 50% discount). https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/126/rss390hf-4-15-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm If you want to get lazy, and we all do sometimes, Parts Express also sells a box made specifically made for this woofer (includes the baffle cutout for the driver). It is currently packaged in a cardboard carton that is 18 x 18 x 12 and weighs 36lb. I checked USPS and UPS and the cost is prohibitive, so this is pick up only. As of 10/27/23 ................. I may change my mind on this and be willing to ship. My zip is 06365-8617. I'll let you figure out the cost. Keep in mind that UPS always figures out a way to increase the cost a bit when you actually take it to the UPS store. I am located in SE Connecticut (06365). (2 hours from Boston or NYC and 1 hour from Hartford CT, Providence RI, or New Haven CT). They are not currently in a cabinet, but i'm happy to run a test tone through the unit when you pick them up to verify that it works and there are no rattles. Thanks for looking, -Tom
  13. It's not magic. The necessary ingredient is the reconstruction filter. Yes, it does work ....
  14. If the manufacturer is actually stating that the cabinets have 116 dB sensitivity, then do the following three things: 1) read the fine print, 2) take that number with a huge grain of salt, 3) put your wallet back in your pocket (if the "sensitivity" is important to you).
