Klipschorn Jubilee Prototype

Here is a prototype of the Klipschorn Jubilee when PWK thought it would be the start of a new speaker line available in three sizes. There were many cosmetic prototypes made to try to make it acceptable for home and a good waf. It was to be a new Klipschorn but since its performance was much better than the Klipschorn it was given its own name. The Jubilee bass horn was lower in distortion had lower bass response and extended out to 1khz where as the Klipschorn takes a dive around 500. For voicing the bass bin was crossed over at its highest at 600hz and 400 at its lowest. This enabled PWK to realize one of his long term goals to make a Klipschorn a two way horn system. PWK and Roy Delgado really did some amazing work for PWK's last project. It is a shame PWK passed and Klipsch did not put it in the consumer line.
This prototype is MIA. If anyone has seen it please contact me. Pictured with the Jubilee is Valerie Klipsch.
