Klipschorn Jubilee Home Theater and Two Channel System

Rigma started five years ago on an over the top DIY Klipschorn Jubilee build finished in Rosewood veneer. Most of the gear in the following pics were built by Rigma except for the other 5 Jubilees.
Details on this system.
The front left and right Jubilee's are 'clones' we built about 5 years ago.

All of the other 5 are factory built.

Behind the left and right Jubilee's are Danley DTS-10's which we built from kits.

The crossovers you see on the sidewalls were built by us to Roy's schematic using the best components we could find.

Following is the way the speakers are used:

FOR MUSIC:

Front L & R and Center Jubilee's with 402/TAD 4002 are powered by WE-300B Mono Blocks built from scratch.

The other front Jubilee Bass Bins are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 20 HZ to 55 HZ with EQ to add only the frequency's needed to obtain a flat response down to 20 HZ.

The rear Jubilee Bass Bins, also powered by Crown K1, are adding a little boost at 32 HZ only.

The preamp is a scratch built Berman 76 with a custom phono section designed by K&K Audio.

Turntable is a VPI Aries II with Ortofon Jubilee cartridge.

CD Player is Jolida feeding a K&K Audio extreme RAK DAC

FOR HOME THEATER:

Front L & R are powered by a Crown D-300A Series II with speakers set to small.

Center is powered by a Crown D-150A Series II in Mono.


The other front Jubilee Bass Bins are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 30 HZ to 80 HZ

The Danley's are powered by Crown K1 and are operating from 10 HZ to 40 HZ

The rear Jubilee Bass Bins, also powered by Crown K1, and the 501/K69 horn is powered by a Crown D-150A series II

The preamp processor is a McIntosh MX-135

Blu-Ray player is an OPPO Special Edition

Screen is 110" Seymour Acoustically Transparent

For both Music and HT:

The sub processing and rear are handled by a USM-810. The bass is tamed by a analog Rives Parc Unit.


I've seen these massive passives in person and the pictures do not do their scale or quality justice.
The 300B amplifiers used for music are wonderful. I've had a desire to get back to triodes after I fisrt heard these. Like his other builds these utilize high quality parts throughout.

I thought I was a Jubilee fan but Rigma has me topped. This is absolutely superb. Congrats on the build as this had to take considerable time to put together.
