I am a horn lover / owner for 50+ years, but I do feel very large horn speakers ( like the Jubilee ) requires a greater distance between them and the listener, as my experience tells me. I cannot enjoy my ears feeling that they are inside the horns. I have heard many super large stage / pro / commercial speakers by Klipsch and others, and the greater distance between them and me, in almost all cases, was better...." to me ". Whatever makes you happy. I have said many times, each of us are different, in how we hear, how we listen, and how we determine what we like. My best, and ENJOY ! always, MrD.

@ricevs " tweeter and mids ".....high frequencies and midrange. The Jubilee is a two way design, which I believe you understand. Paul always wanted a TOTL 2 way, and Roy took it to market🙂. My best, MrD. |
@souljasmooth what is your room size, and how far do you sit from your Jubilees ? I sit 8ft away from my Lascalas, and this works great for me. I cannot imagine Jubilees in my room, as I mentioned in a prior post. My best, MrD. |
I have used ss with horns for years, and admittedly, some ss can be harsh. But I would blame the room and set up, more than the amplification. Phusis, in his last paragraph of his latest post, makes a lot of sense. I know people who cannot handle the dynamics, and / or other horn traits, because it is too much for them. A correspondent of mine cannot listen to Miles Davis, because he says the horn hurts his ears, and this is through some Maggies. To each his own. My best always, MrD. |
