I had made some altec horn diy speakers back in the late 70s.....sounded horny as hell......and harsh.  I then discovered a local high end dealer who had K-horns and Quad electrostats.......I asked him to A/B the speakers......and they sounded very close in quality.  HOWEVER.....this was a nude unfinished K-horn.  You could see the xover right on top and the tweeter was mounted all the way in the back....right over the midrange driver......no other mods.  He told me that if he put the tweeter back on the front panel I would run screaming out the door.  YOU MUST TIME ALIGN......why the heck would you want the tweeter info to arrive a decade before the midrange.....and same with the bass.  The Jubilee is time aligned in the electronic xover......so this is the only Klipsch done correctly......no wonder the designer says he thinks the Jubilee is way, way better than anything before.....and you have the tweeter and mids coming from one place....so the only time alignment needed is to the bass bins.....which they did.....good on them.
