Post Subject: Klipsch JubileePosted by noviygera on: 10/27/2018
I've been thinking about trying the Klipsch Jubilee. The idea I have is to replace my bass channel (Aura 1808 in reflex box) together with midbass channel (Funktion One F115) with a single Klipsch Jubilee channel. Of course I'm talking about stereo pair. The frequency range that I need to have covered is 30-250hz.
FYI Funktion One F115:

There are a couple of theoretical benefits that I see going from two to one channel in that range:
1. no crossover from 30-250 hz.
2. single elegant solution, use of a horn in conjunction with room corner
3. horn loaded bass + midbass 

My current bass+midbass is OK but definitely has some sonic issues. The 1808 subs, I have crossing over at 50hz to midbass boxes. This is a pretty seamless transition and does not cause problems in my view. Also this combination never runs out of steam and keeps it's composure at any sale levels in my listening space. The issue is the upper range of the midbass, around 250Hz where it begins to lose definition and starts to sound closed in and thick. So a one channel solution that is proper sounding in it's upper range would be most interesting, considering that the Jubilee is designed to go up to 400hz. This is my concept based on the Jubilee specs and is no way based on real sonic proof of the concept.

I have no experience with Jubilee so I am asking for thoughts on this design and the sonics from those who have heard the Jubilee. Also, it would be interesting to hear your views (even theoretical evaluation) of such an approach as the Jubilee offers.
