Kudos to Jeff for a fine interview, and Especially Roy. I don't recall listening an audio engineer so talented yet humble and down to earth: Very refreshing.
Very pleased that they made Roy's carton so stunningly beautiful. When a home speaker is this big, it HAS to be art, and it sure is! Contrast this "style" to other ultra high-end speakers, regardless of the superb finish they may have been embellished with. The Jubilee just relaxes ones senses and prepares one for the performance to emerge. Just my thoughts.
Would love a pair. I run a pair of Klipsch k-horns up front with a powered M&K sub, and a pair of Belle’s I back together they Rock ! I have a I old Marantz 2325 old like me that I blow out with my air compressor every few years . Trouble free beautiful Music in my listening room double insulated 24x28’, built to let my system breathe. I would like to have the Marantz restored as it’s probably past time but still sounds very good. Together they really rock ! Quality is very hard to get today and so expensive that I can’t afford it. I’m in my sixties now retired and gimped up but still after all these years still live listening to music. The Klipsch speakers and old Marantz will put goose bumps on you still. Maybe some day I will hit the lottery or have a Great Blessing of some kind ? Listening to music is much safer than riding motorcycles. Keep up the Fantastic Work ! Thank you Klipsch for all the enjoyment you have brought to me over the years !
"it's just not about aligning the signal, it's also about aligning the phase" ... ?? @21:10 One in the same, right? Regardless, dig the content. Roy is a humble individual, ... a gentleman.
Thanks to both. If you’re going to gesticulate a timeline (L to R) with your hands - as a presenter you need to reverse it, otherwise it’s completely the wrong way round for your viewers.
Query: Will only 75 pair of 75th Anniversary Jubilees be constructed, or 75 pair of Jubilees period? IOW, will this latest Jubilee model be produced after the 75th anniversary run is complete?
@Jeff Fritz You are correct. I checked Klipsch's website (which I should have done prior to asking my question), and it shows both the 7th anni and "standard" versions (not much standard about Jubilees). 😎
Why does the Jubilee use a Titanium diaphragm and the lower Heritage models have been switching to the Phenolic diaphragm? The phenolic is way too harsh. The Forte III’s were perfect and the IV’s sound brittle and harsh now.
Titanium, I suspect because they can tool it, machine press it into the complex pattern needed to mitigate resonances. Essentially it's a five inch anular diaphragm, ie., five inch voice coil driving donut shaped disc... clamped at both the outer diameter, and the inner diameter. Not unlike KEF's coax disc driver... only the KEF is conical, and the compression driver in the Klipsch is a slight double hump. Just two wide surrounds each side of the driven voice coil attachment point. Those big wide surrounds give the imprinted titanium disc a great deal of radiating area. Thus, extension, output level, etc.
@@FOH3663 That is some interesting insight. Thanks for sharing. From a purely subjective standpoint, I've heard the Titanium (Forte III) and Phenolic (Forte IV), and the Titanium sounds much better to my ears.
@@Sloimer That's interesting. Subjective listening characteristics often arise from the influence of breakup modes. Those drivers are domes (or inverted domes), it's difficult for those not to create little areas of non-linear behavior. Conversely, the anular disc diaphragm behaves entirely differently. By design ... cleaner, better signal to noise ratio, better CSD measurements. Thanks Best of continued luck w/the Klipsch (I have several that I no longer use, but the lower RB models, RB-75, RB-35, and another RB tiny 4" model, RB-75 best of the bunch).
Maybe $$7000 worth of material? And they use inferior wood? Not Baltic Birch? WTF. I guess PT Barnam was right there’s a sucker born every minute.HaHa 😂 Cheers 🍻
@@stephennielsen2134 yeah it’s a joke. I like the way they sound, but from a build quality standpoint, if you’re going to make it a “premium line” make it premium for gods sake lol
