Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience

The sound from the Jubilee's was horrible when I heard them at the 2022 Axpona show. Klipsch did a terrible job on the demo for these at the show and didn't properly set these up. For you naysayers that say it was an audio show and everything sounds bad, there were MANY rooms at the show that sounded just fine so this isn't an excuse! I'm sure it's a good speaker but the average consumer will have nowhere near a big enough room for these. I hope Klipsch does a better job this year on their room. Axpona is in 2 weeks, and I'll be there.

"However, strictly speaking whatever accounts for @willywonka’s Jubilee impressions at named exhibition last year is pure guessing, and let’s not forget that as there are different rooms, setups and choices of implementation, there are as well ears belonging to different individuals."

I want to be clear about this. Everyone I overheard talking about the Jubilee’s or talked to at the show had the same exact impression on these speakers. In fact, even the major publications commented about it. My impressions AREN’T guessing but was in fact the popular opinion at the show by many people! Also the fact that some people are blaming the amplification seems odd. The Manufacturer (Klipsch) provided this, and you would think that they would know what they are doing. Amplification was Michi P5 preamp, and Michi S5 stereo power amp. I have no doubt these speakers can sound amazing, but they just didn't sound right at that show,

It's been a year, so I don't remember the specifics of exactly why they didn't sound good, but I do know they had no synergy at all. Considering the efficiency of these speakers and how well they match with good tube amplifiers, I was very surprised Klipsch decided to match these with the Mitchi electronics. I would have thought Klipsch would want these sounding their best considering it was a new speaker demo. Nothing against Mitchi but I assume they could have done better. Could this have been a marketing decision and agreement with Rotel? I will definitely be going back to their room on the 14th. I'm looking for some new speakers and will also be evaluating the Volti speakers too although I have heard them before. I need some speakers in the $5K-$7K range that sound good at low listening levels. Both the Volti Razz and Klipsch Cornwall's look interesting.
