Funny. I got the same impression you did in regards to Jay’s reaction to what he was hearing from audio system at GR Research. Jay didn’t seem too impressed with the sound, and he couldn’t talk his way around it, because you could see it in his facial expressions. Just goes to show you how individual each of our audio systems are, and how we may think our systems are the greatest since sliced bread, but others my not feel the same. Happy listening.

I have been saying this a while....If you can DIY a kit, have a tall ceiling and only have 5000 dollars, you could end up with some top tier sound with the GR NX-treme model.

I believe another youtuber/BACCH dealer, Audiophile Junkie, uses the NX-treme as his daily driver still. I am fairly certain he can afford some very expensive speakers, but, he just seems to be hanging on to the GR tall tower..
You never know, i suppose....Some of you may not end up liking the sound of some expensive item, you may very well prefer the sound of something cheaper, even if you can afford very expensive things.
