Located at the very heart of our range, this model has always aroused a great attachment to its creator. It synthesizes in itself the sound aesthetic so dear to JMR.
Fluidity, nuance, refinement, spontaneity and agility characterize this compact speaker, with its sober and timeless design.
Its slim silhouette, with its small head overhanging its gracefully proportioned cabinetry, is characteristic of certain JMR productions.
Thanks to the research and development work carried out in recent years in advanced acoustic and electronic fields, we have been able to achieve musical performances unimaginable a few years ago. The CANTABILE Jubilee has benefited from the results of this research, which has enabled it to achieve a remarkable level of realism and sound maturity.
Thus, we have completely revised its crossover, and we have equipped the speaker with a brand new tweeter particularly powerful. This impregnated silk dome tweeter is housed in a new load with an optimized profile. The diameter of the nose cone has been significantly increased, and it is positioned further back on the cabinet to allow for ultra-precise dynamic phasing. Its length has been increased, and the curve of its profile has been softened.
The very low resonance frequency of this tweeter and its very low distortion rate allowed us to lower the connection frequency with the bass-midrange speaker to 3 kHz. The slope of its 12 dB/octave filtering offers a crossover with the midrange at only 0.2° phase rotation, and its directivity is particularly low.
The filtering has been done with as few components as possible, making the CANTABILE Jubilee much more responsive and even easier to power.
The entire value of the components, as well as their nature, has been revised in order to obtain an even more lively and dynamic speaker.
Although its size is ultra-compact for a floorstanding speaker, the CANTABILE Jubilee offers a particularly full, wide and deep sound image, and a formidable precision. It extends not only in width, but also in height and depth, far beyond the geometry of the enclosure. It remains unperturbed, even at the time of the very great variations of levels, without any projection nor hardness, but all in light and nuances.
The tiny inflections of the musician’s playing follow naturally without false light. The transients are vivid and precise, but never stripped of their complex harmonic envelope.
The veracity and humanity of the CANTABILE’s middle register have always been noted by discerning music lovers. In this Jubilee version, the CANTABILE retains what has made it successful over the years, but with even more fluidity and airiness. The rich and varied timbres are truly natural, and never outrageous; one clearly perceives this feeling of “déjà entendu” that only the “live” event is capable of providing.
Its fast and perfectly controlled bass never turns into caricature or redundancy. It settles perfectly the listening, and proposes a sufficient energy for a room of average size.
Its bandwidth is extremely linear, and above all, it offers a remarkable homogeneity for a speaker of its size.
As agile and alert on a string quartet as on contemporary music, the CANTABILE Jubilee offers its listener hours of listening without weariness or fatigue. Its generous output will allow it to be associated with quality amplifiers, but not necessarily powerful. Its important evolution potential will allow it to become the central element of a perennial audiophile installation of very high quality. Very easy to set up and position in the listening area, its slim silhouette will blend perfectly into a modern or classic decor.
CANTABILE Jubilee thus embodies the contemporary JMR know-how and spirit, nourished by 50 years of pragmatic and sensitive research, in the service of Music.
