    • Saw some good news today   Despite what "they" try to prevent, the South has a lot of Patriots!!!   Thank You West Virginia:   Appalachian Liberty on X: "A group of coal miners from West Virginia have finished building a road from Big Chimney in under a week. A road that North Carolina Government Officials said would take several months to a year for them to do. #appalachianstrong https://t.co/Y5E9BWbcAM" / X

    • Thanks Chuck, It's almost gone, but at the creamery I get a qt/buttermilk for $4 then $3 back on the bottle.   Can't make it with store brand half skim or otherwise perverted buttermilk. Same with the flour but that is with the use by date. Store choices here are slim to none on everything. With my proximity to Greensboro I can get Neeses Sausage sometimes    Haven't made it much at all this year. My new batches of j a l a p e n o s are odd, the ripe case isn't really hot. The Libbeys Green ones have heat like what everybody got when Nachos hit the ball parks for the first time in Clt when I was about 14. Back then every brand bit back some.
    • Yes, Simply Speakers. These folks are in Florida.  Dale
    • Repair it yourself or send it off to be repaired.   Forte I uses the same kd-13 if you’re looking for a used replacement
    • They sound different... as they should.     you'll be happy with either choice, but if you desire 'scale'... you can not beat the Jubilee, there is no replacement for displacement.
    • Welcome back! I would follow through with your next steps above plan to compare the 2. Khorn and HERitage Jubilee... others will be here soon to go into your post. @Ron Dean Wyler  
    • Hi,  I've heard a Jubilee 6 months ago in a nice set up (3 hours from here in Binghamton, NY).  At that time I wasn't ready to buy new speakers.  Now I am but the Binghamton shop no longer has them.    I've heard two sets of Jubilees that didn't seem to match my memory from 6 months ago.  I don't think they were properly set up.      Stereo store one: A stereo shop in Massachusetts (two and a half hours away) had the Jubilees in a less than ideal showroom situation.  The "sweet spot" was stuck behind some shelves ! (lol).   The fantastic sound stage I remember hearing wasn't there.  They did have a properly set up AK6 Klipschorn in a smaller room which sounded great.  So that has me thinking I might get the K-horn and combine them with two JL Audio F112 Fathom subwoofers which I already have.  But I still want to give the Jubilees a real try out as based on reviews, specifications, technology, etc. they should sound better?  Right??   Stereo store two: At another place (only an hour away) I was able to hear the Jubilees which were set up with some solid state mono blocks (overkill !).   The sound stage wasn't there.  Maybe they had the listening chair too close to the speakers?  They had the speakers about 10 feet apart and slightly towed in.   I did hear a Klipsch Forte IV which actually sounded better than the Jubilees in a smaller listening area but obviously missing the bass.  (how could this be?).      Questions:      Shouldn't the Jubilee sound better than a K-horn?   My listening room is upstairs.   I would have to take the door frame apart to get Jubilees into the room which is fine.   I'm thinking of having them delivered by a piano moving company or moving company??   How have other people done this?   Once in my room how will I move Jubilees to make minor adjustments?  The room is carpeted.   Do they slide on a carpet?  Could I use those plastic furniture disks like they sell for heavy furniture so they slide?   I'm told about 80 percent of people end up using tubes with Klipsch Heritage speakers.  I've never had tubes and am concerned for the usual reasons.  Is there a lot of maintenance?  When do I change the tubes?  Do I have to adjust bias (or something) ?    I currently have a McIntosh MC452 solid state amp and would probably use that for the bottom of Jubilee and get a McIntosh MC275 tube amp for the tweeter.   (good idea?)  The good demos I've heard used tube  amps.   I've been listening to "(I Used to be a) Brooklyn Dodger" by Dion DiMucci as one of my demo songs and the subtle acoustic guitar part is missing when played on the Jubilees (at the bad demos).  I even walked right up to the speakers to try to hear the guitar.  It's subtle but I started to doubt the guitar was even on the song.  When I came home and played it the guitar returned.   This either confirms the poor setups or a possible shortcoming of the Jubilees.  But I haven't heard many negative comments about the Jubilees.    Next steps: I'll be traveling to Boston (about 3 hours away) to a stereo shop where I think they can properly compare the K-horn to the Jubilee in mid November.  That should answer a lot of my questions and hesitations on the Jubilee.   In a couple of weeks I plan to fly to the Capital Audio Fest near Washington DC but it looks like Klipsch won't be there.  I'll be able to hear a lot of other speakers there including some di-pole or open baffle speakers.   ???   I live near Saratoga Springs, NY   currently have B&W 802 D Diamond speakers two JL Audio Fathom F112 Subwoofers JL Audio CR-1 Active crossover (with lots of adjustments) McINtosh C50 Pre-amp  (with equalizer built in) McIntosh MC452 solid state amp
