Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room


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.

I had the NX-Studio standmount for a few years hooked up to a Yamaha c5000, m5000 stack (technically, a 20k stack, but, immaculately engineering). It gave a shock effect to guys who listened to that combo as well...recently sold that standmount to a dude who very desperately needed it.

I think the sweet spot for "watts" and refinement is somewhere around where that Yamaha M5000 is...for a wider genre of music.

But, here he is still talking about some lousy chip amps with Mr. Jay...doing a disservice to his own speakers @dougthebiker

I’ve got the NX-Oticas in my listening room with about $50k of power conditioning and 1st rate cables.  Only have a $25k digital front end, but my rig sounds MUCH better than Danny’s.  I made some of Danny’s cables and they degraded the sound significantly.  Great for modest systems but you don’t want to subject Danny’s NX series speakers to them.

I’ve got a very good 300B integrated amp driving these and most of the folks in our audio club are shocked at how good the SQ is with only 9 watts.

 

I guess I'll have to watch the video, but I have found this Jay guy to be very annoying in the videos of his I've watched.

As for the sound the system produces, I wouldn't dream of thinking that can be discerned from a video posted on YouTube.
