@Chief bonehead FYI… you are in the red at 18% … 😁

Oh, I am so sorry for your stroke. We all don't know what the next day will bring. Soldering is a bit ambivalent. The process itself is quite simple. But it does take some experience to get it right. For example, choosing the right heat for the soldering iron. It is different for different jobs. I chose a relatively high 400 C for the tweeter cables. And I still have leaded solder from the nineties that I used, which is now banned for health reasons... so it was quite quick to liquefy the solder. As a result, less heat is distributed to the very fine soldered wires of the voice coil, which are somewhat removed from the leads. Incidentally, I left these fine connecting wires as they are. Theoretically, I could have vacuumed off the solder and reapplied it. But the risk of destroying something irrevocably is far too high.   The panels of the bass cabinet and the cabinet for mids and treble are made of birch plywood. The beam you see in the picture is made of solid birch wood. I think it might be a good idea to hire a carpenter to re-glue the cabinets if necessary . It is important that he does not destroy anything when he takes the housings apart.  I am only a layman, but why do you think @Knuckthat the housings are no longer firmly glued and that it would be necessary to re-glue them?

That is a good size room for the big speakers. I vote for the Heritage Jubilee.

I can relate—I’ve also managed weight and blood sugar concerns, and making similar adjustments helped me keep my A1C in check. Seeing how different foods affect blood sugar levels firsthand really does change perspective. It’s great to hear about the transformation daily running has brought; your story is a testament to how powerful consistent changes can be!

Looks delicious

I'm planning Christmas vacation now. What are the best options in Europe?

Thanks khorndog!  Moving up the Denafrips line to the Terminator plus. 

A bit late for the reply, I saw the message but was too sick at the time. I feel sorry for the issue you had with the screws. I do believe it as connections must be as newer now and will attempt it asap.   For now, the plan is to bring the Heresy to a wood worker who will reglue properly the boxes.   Thanks for the warning, @KT88! I'll see then for the tweeters, I had a stroke few years ago and lost some abilities so for this kind of meticulous work, I'll see how to make it. Probably my better half will handle it or we shall see. But the tip is definitely gonna be helpful !    Thanks for the pic of the inside of the Khorn, it's our final goal. Looks like it's birch solid wood or?

Ron,   It sounds like you have a decent sized room to accommodate jubilees. Having a room like that will give you the ability to move the speakers to help dial them in.     I know many people have jubilees in small room and personally having a 14’x20’ room I wish the room was bigger for a number of reasons. Placement options is a big one, these are GIANT speakers.    I’m assuming, you are looking new Heritage Jubilees correct?   If I were you..    I would try to develop a relationship with a dealer for both McIntosh & Jubilees and have them do a conditional in home audition.     This should be a no brainer/ no negotiable if you are serious.  We are no longer dealing with a pair of jubilees that used be had for $6k (new).   We are talking about $35k speakers and a 6-10k amp.  You cant get a proper demo in a store.
