I have been using horns for the last 10yrs. Avantgarde Trios, Tannoy Westminsters, etc. To my ears the Jubilees have more potential, if you can get past their cheapish build quality. Then again if they were built using exotic materials, they would be pushing six figures (which I wish they gave that option). I am looking for something quiet but something high quality. Not to say the Eargasm isnt high quality, but they r pretty inexpensive.

I also listen mostly at lower/medium volumes. Look at the Quicksilver horn mono tube amps. My speakers are JBL 4435’s actively bi-amp their efficiency is 2.7% and sensitivity is 96 dB SPL @ 1 watt @ 8 Ohms. I also have a Crown Studio Reference 1 solid state amp class AB that is dead quiet on said speakers. I have been using horns for the last 45yrs. Mike |
The Jubilees are around 108db efficient, and compared to the Avantgarde Trios which I think are close to the same, The Jubilees seem alot more efficient but more sensitive to noise from the amp. I saw a video where Klipsch was demoing Jubilees with Rotel Michi amps. Anyone go to that show? Im curious how it sounded in person. |
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,
