    I want to say something important: During my time with Roy Delgado, he showed a humility and reverence towards "The Man" Paul Kipsch. This became even more apparent after out time together was over. It was also apparent that though Klipsch is part of a big company that maintaining that small company heritage and "feel" is important as ever. Buy Klipsch with confidence.

      Typo, Roy, not Ray. Yes, Roy is a very talented acoustic engineer. He received a new patent on that LF, has another one pending on the HF. Extremely flat from 18 Hz to 20kHz. A very humble man, he gives all credit to the man, PWK

    Dude. This is the one ive been waiting for. So cool. 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP 400S kinda aspirations here for me. Both Jubilee and Countach i can most likely never own. But good god its nice to dream! Cheers to those who can afford and house these. My RF7IIIs are great. Saved a year for them. No vacation. No prime steaks. Prison quality toilet paper. No compromise on quality beer, bet less consumption. It was worth it. Cheers to those who can swing the Jubilees. And please have me over for a demo😂

    My introduction to audiophile hi-fi was listening to Miles Davis - Kind of Blue on a pair of Klipschorns driven by an Audio Research tube amplifier, circa 1978. Life-altering.

    I own classic 1987 Celestion SL6si bookshelves and they have magic even over some of the newer speakers I've owned and heard. That's the compression tweeter in these horns made by "Celestion's". Amazing

    Roy is cool as beans.
    I went around during the end of last year and the start of the new year demoing speakers.
    Specifically powered speakers. I heard many of them. Some cheap and some at the upper limits of what I was willing to spend. Eventually I settled on a pair of Klipsch the Fives.
    The sound just felt real to me, it resonated with me while listening to my go to which is Alice in Chains Unplugged.
    While I had them, I loved them, but I returned them because I saw the Sevens.
    I've had the Sevens since March. I listen to them every day. It's date night every night with my office set up.
    Whether I'm streaming my Tidal Hifi Playlist or playing games with great soundtracks like Red Dead Redemption 2. Found a new love for movies and TV shows I grew up watching like The Sopranos because I never heard them with such clarity and presence.
    I've fallen in love with these speakers. One day when I have a dedicated listening room, I intend on owning a pair of the true Heritage speakers. I plan on getting them on the companies 100th anniversary as it well be my fiftieth birthday that same year and I have no doubt they will do something spectacular and unfathomable.

    I would buy a pair if I could use my Yamaha R-700 to power them. How did they use the Walkman with the dsP ? Is the dsP necessary. Can these be used with a four channel I thought I heard something about active crossover in the speaker

    How come it is never mentioned in the video that because of the DSP processing, all audio must be digitized in the crossover? As a strict analog person, this would be a deal killer for me. Might not matter to some people, but in the interest of full disclosure this aspect should have been mentioned in the video.

      Same.
      Titanium compression drivers can create some nasties ... however, this isn't a dome diaphragm. It's a ring radiator.
      Thus, the typical nasties that are encountered with breakup don't exist here.
      It's likely equals the best compression driver currently available; TAD beryllium, ... at 25% to 50% of the price.
      Ring radiators fix all kinds of breakup (the Achilles Heel of comp drivers).
      JBL's D2 ... a superb example.
      Titanium, it's not the material, it's the execution that is the challenge.
