Floorstanding loudspeakers — Klipsch JUBILEE

The JUBILEE is an extraordinary flagship-tier floorstanding loudspeaker from Klipsch, built with a distinctive dual-cabinet horn-loaded architecture separating high-frequency and low-frequency sections. The JUBILEE represents Klipsch's most ambitious current statement in horn-loaded loudspeaker engineering.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally deep 18Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is extraordinary at 110dB for the high-frequency horn section and 107dB for the low-frequency section - among the highest efficiency figures available in any commercial loudspeaker. Impedance is a distinctive 16 ohms for the high-frequency section and 8 ohms for the low-frequency section, with correspondingly separate recommended amplifier power ranges of 100-400W for high frequencies and a staggering 300-1,200W for low frequencies. At 175.26 x 127.0 x 76.2cm, the JUBILEE's separate high-frequency and low-frequency sections weigh 35.38kg and 149.68kg respectively, reflecting the monumental scale of Klipsch's absolute current flagship horn-loaded engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect the immediate, dynamically alive character Klipsch's historic horn-loaded driver technology is broadly celebrated for, taken to its absolute current flagship extreme, with the extraordinary sensitivity figures meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from even the most minimal amplifier power on each section.

Pairing

The distinctive dual-section architecture with separate impedance and power requirements calls for a sophisticated bi-amplified or active-crossover setup matched precisely to each horn section.

Alternatives

Klipsch's own KLIPSCHORN AK6 offers a related, more integrated flagship-tier horn-loaded alternative within the same broader catalogue.
