Klipsch Jubilee Heritage Floorstanding Speakers
The ultimate realization of Paul W. Klipsch's lifelong pursuit of perfect horn-loaded loudspeaker design, the Klipsch Jubilee delivers extraordinary realism, breathtaking dynamics, and effortless musical performance on a scale few speakers can approach.
Paul W. Klipsch's Final Masterpiece
The Jubilee represents founder Paul W. Klipsch's final loudspeaker design and the culmination of decades of research into high-efficiency horn-loaded audio.
Originally conceived as the successor to the Klipschorn, the project evolved into something even more ambitious—a reference loudspeaker capable of reproducing music with astonishing realism, effortless dynamics, and vanishingly low distortion. Today, the Jubilee stands as the flagship of the Klipsch Heritage Series.
The Flagship of the Heritage Series
The Jubilee occupies a unique position in the Heritage lineup.
It offers:
- Fully horn-loaded two-way architecture
- Active DSP crossover system
- Patented horn-loaded vented bass enclosure
- State-of-the-art compression driver
- Exceptional efficiency
- Reference-level performance
Rather than refining an existing model, the Jubilee was engineered without compromise to become the ultimate Heritage loudspeaker.
Fully Horn-Loaded Two-Way Design
Unlike conventional three-way loudspeakers, the Jubilee employs an advanced two-way horn-loaded architecture.
Key design elements include:
- Large horn-loaded vented bass system
- High-frequency compression driver
- Massive precision-engineered horn
- Active crossover optimization
- Time-aligned driver integration
By crossing over at an unusually low frequency, the Jubilee minimizes driver interactions while maintaining seamless coherence from bass through treble.
Patented Horn-Loaded Vented Bass System
The Jubilee's patented low-frequency enclosure combines folded horn loading with vented cabinet technology.
Benefits include:
- Deep bass extension
- Extremely low distortion
- Exceptional efficiency
- Outstanding transient response
- Massive dynamic capability
- Effortless low-frequency authority
This innovative design combines the strengths of both horn-loaded and vented loudspeaker systems while minimizing their traditional compromises.
State-of-the-Art Compression Driver
The Jubilee incorporates Klipsch's most advanced high-frequency compression driver.
Advantages include:
- Lower crossover frequency
- Wide bandwidth
- Extremely low distortion
- Exceptional detail retrieval
- Outstanding dynamic capability
- Natural vocal reproduction
Its advanced axiperiodic design delivers effortless high-frequency performance while maintaining remarkable efficiency.
Wide Dispersion Horn and Extended Phase Plug
Klipsch engineered the Jubilee's high-frequency horn to provide exceptionally even coverage throughout the listening area.
Benefits include:
- Wider sweet spot
- Improved imaging
- Greater tonal consistency
- More natural soundstage
- Reduced high-frequency cancellations
- Better off-axis performance
The patented extended phase plug contributes to smoother, more uniform high-frequency dispersion.
Active DSP Crossover
Unlike most passive loudspeakers, the Jubilee is designed around an included active DSP crossover.
Its functions include:
- Precision crossover filtering
- Time alignment
- Phase correction
- Driver optimization
- Equalization
- Room integration flexibility
This active architecture allows the Jubilee to achieve exceptional coherence and accuracy that would be difficult to realize with a traditional passive crossover.
Bi-Amplification Required
Because of its active crossover design, the Jubilee requires separate amplification channels for the bass and high-frequency sections.
Benefits include:
- Greater amplifier control
- Lower distortion
- Improved dynamic headroom
- Superior driver integration
- Increased system flexibility
- Reference-level performance
While setup is more involved than a conventional loudspeaker, the performance benefits are substantial.
Extraordinary Efficiency
With approximately 107 dB sensitivity, the Jubilee is among the most efficient loudspeakers available for home audio.
Advantages include:
- Effortless dynamics
- Massive output capability
- Extremely low distortion
- Outstanding transient speed
- Realistic live-performance impact
- Minimal amplifier strain
Even relatively low-powered amplifiers can achieve extraordinary listening levels when properly configured.
Handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas
Every Jubilee is built to order in Hope, Arkansas, where Paul W. Klipsch founded the company.
Features include:
- Book-matched real wood veneers
- Precision cabinet construction
- Heritage craftsmanship
- Hand assembly
- American Walnut finish
- Black Ash finish
Each pair reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the Heritage Series.
Amplifier Matching
The Jubilee performs exceptionally well with premium amplification.
Because each driver section has its own amplifier channel, owners can optimize the system using different amplification strategies while maintaining exceptional control and dynamics.
Room Placement
Unlike the Klipschorn, the Jubilee does not require corner placement.
For best results:
- Allow space behind the speakers
- Use symmetrical placement
- Position with moderate toe-in
- Maintain generous listening distance
- Optimize using the supplied DSP crossover
Its placement flexibility makes the Jubilee easier to integrate into dedicated listening rooms while preserving world-class performance. Enthusiasts also note that it delivers exceptional bass without relying on room corners.
Compared to the Klipschorn AK7
While both speakers share Klipsch's horn-loaded philosophy, the Jubilee offers:
- Fully active DSP crossover
- Two-way architecture
- Greater bass extension
- Higher output capability
- More advanced driver integration
- Greater placement flexibility
The Klipschorn remains one of history's greatest loudspeakers, while the Jubilee represents the most advanced expression of Paul W. Klipsch's design philosophy.
Sound Quality
Listeners consistently describe the Jubilee as delivering:
- Unlimited dynamic headroom
- Stunning realism
- Deep, effortless bass
- Extraordinary clarity
- Immense soundstage
- Live-performance scale
Owners frequently comment that the Jubilee combines the explosive dynamics expected from horn loudspeakers with a level of refinement and tonal balance rarely achieved at this level of efficiency.
The Ultimate Heritage Loudspeaker
The Klipsch Jubilee is more than a flagship—it is the realization of Paul W. Klipsch's lifelong vision for uncompromising loudspeaker performance.
Its fully horn-loaded two-way architecture, patented vented bass horn, active DSP crossover, advanced compression driver, handcrafted American construction, and extraordinary efficiency place it among the finest loudspeakers ever built.
For listeners seeking the pinnacle of the Klipsch Heritage Series, the Jubilee stands alone.
