Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience

I own the current version. Yes same horn, different driver. Woofers are ported into a horn. And comes with an active crossover.

Great. What amps are you using? 

Thats what I was hoping for with this thread. Info on what amps people are using with these speakers. I have tried Canary, Accuphase, Constellation, EAR. Still trying different amps.

I see. This can be a fairly arduous process finding the proper amp match, combination and configuration, and in any case you're left to your own findings eventually. Have you formed any preferences so far - an inkling perhaps towards tubes, SS, or a combination or the two? Low powered amps vs. higher powered? Similar amps for both the MF/HF and bass section? Even though the Jubilee’s are extremely efficient, my take is they’d thrive on some power still, despite claims to the contrary that much less power is "enough."

Moreover, if using a similar pair of stereo amps, try experimenting with vertical vs. horizontal bi-amping. This to me at least was an eye opener in my actively configured, high eff. speaker setup; using similar amps for both the MF/HF and bass section of my 2- way main speakers (the first important takeaway), and then configuring them vertically instead of horizontally - i.e.: one amp per speaker with its two channels divided over the MF/HF and bass sections. That’s where it all really began falling into place sonically, to me.

Klipschorns at low - med volume, …ok

 

any louder and your teeth will break

 

my audition years back, powered by Adcom: monos. 
with mod squad and carver, it was better, less harsh

You lost all credibility when you mentioned Adcom. Only a fool would pair horns with a pair of high powered SS amps, especially Adcom.
