Naturally people are curious what the culmination of 75 years of speaker development sounds like.

Source is a bog standard Windows laptop running YouTube into a definitely non standard Crane Song unobtamium DAC into a Nagra pre into a Manley EQ into the Klipsch EQ into a VTL 500 into the tweeter of the Jubilee and a VTL 750 into the bass. Yes that's 1250 watts into a horn. Put away your Ongakus, it's BIG POWER time. Woo hoo!

Plus one Hsu VTF-2 Mark 4 sub to round out the bass. Cuz 1500 watts just isn't enuff.

Recorded with AEA R88A mic into RPQ2 pre into Nagra SEVEN at 24/192 and 80 db SPL. Room is 21 wide by 18 deep with 9 foot ceiling.

1. Panzerlied from Battle of the Bulge.

So you want us to form a giant army, cross Poland and fight the Russkies? Just checking for a friend from Deutschland.

* source was Qobuz.

2. Cee Lo Green at Daryl's House.

3. Bach Mess in B Minor Richter.

4. Turandot Nilsson Corelli.

For this reigning Brunhilde, Turandot was merely a party role.

Still here? They say the quickest way to empty a room at CES is to put on opera but my dealer says NO! Country is the quickest way to empty a room.

Man, just look at those faces.

* long silence at end.
