Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience


rankaudio

what horn speakers bring to the party that other speakers don't is the dynamic contrasts in musical dynamics....a major player in the quest for realism in a home system.

 I bet they sound spectacular!  
Heck, I wish I had a room big enough to put them in!

simao, sorry about Vivaldi. I know it can be hard with audience noise. It was as if a live orchestra was present. 

I had waited for MAnY years to try Klipsch! And especially after hearing that they tend to be a "Little bright". I finally got some and thankfully my older stereo allows me to totally retune them. They have No Top end so I had to turn up the treble about 9 DB and the bass was so overwhelming I had to turn the bottom end down about 12 DB. That is totally unacceptable this totally reinforces my 50 year old opinion that if you want good sound build your own speakers..

@johnk , quite correct. The major advantage of horns aside from their efficiency is their controlled dispersion. This limits room interaction and improves imaging..

I have never heard Jubalees but have a lot of experience with K horns. They do not image well as the drivers are not time aligned and the mid bass is colored which is euphoric for some people. It would be very interesting to digitally tri amp them and get rid of the group delays. I am guessing that the colored mid bass is due to the large, complicated enclosure. Large panels resonate as a function of size as related to panel thickness, the ratio. Think stringed musical instrument.
