PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND LIKE THIS VIDEO. You are all the driving force behind this huge effort of mine. I could not do this without you all ! The big journey is about to get started and I plan to take you all in for a ride!
Congrats!! I was hoping for something like this!
I love listening to my Wilson speakers. I can only imagine the experience of listening to these XVX speakers. The sound of Wilson speakers is something special. I’m not surprised you keep coming back to them. To some a speaker is just a magnet and a coil attached to a cone in a box or a diaphragm stretched over a board combined with a box of capacitors stuffed inside. The design variations are infinite but the best solutions and craftsmanship can produce an amazing musical experience. These Wilsons are the pinnacle of design and craftsmanship. Very few appreciate these types of achievements. Like climbing Mt. Everest, most people consider it an insane risk and waste of time and effort but those few who know and appreciate the experience would not trade it for anything.
Congraud's Jay! You deserve this from all your hard work. Thank you for bringing us all on your journey. No one else has ever done this to this degree, I believe with your knowledge you are now the king of audio...
I appreciate that!
Folks! I got a personal invite to Jay's Audio Lab the day he & Carlos set up these magnificent loudspeakers and I can attest to their sonic prowess!
I will keep it short & sweet and state what I told Jay that day - specially after switching to *ALL MIGHTY ANALOG* while having all of Side 1 of "The Famous Sound of Three Blind Mice, Vol 1" double LP"
I told him "Jay, I felt like I was in a trance"
He agreed. 'Nuff said.
Jay has reached the summit, congrats !
For those of us old guys that have followed, lusted and owned David Wilson's speaker development journey since the 80's, the Chrosonic, is the final goal (Wamm is more of a collector's ego thing). Enjoy Jay, and thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks David
Chronosonic
Congratulations on your system. You’ve obviously worked tirelessly to get to this point, and I’m sure you will be rewarded.
Thank you so much!
Wow man, congratulations! This is not only one of the best speakers ever made, it’s also a life achievement. I don’t know what you do for a living but you made it bro.
Wow, thanks!
OMG Jay, unbelievable achievement. Well deserved for all of your commitment, passion and dedication!
Thanks so much!
I know how you feel i found my unicorn speaker that has taken me on an journey and their is no better feeling! I am happy for you Gabriel
Congrats 🎉. They look amazing! And I’ve felt it deep inside my heart when you’ve said about hard work to achieve what you have, where you at now as I too had 3-4 jobs, no holidays, no weekends, no vacations and no sleep to push trough life. Far from where you are but not stopping. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going 💪🏻
You can do it!
The thing that pops to mind about those speakers is just how much optimisation they look capable of I’ve always read about time alignment in stereophile and this speaker looks like the epitome of craftsmanship to provide a tool that can adhere to a scientific principle. No matter the cost! 😍😍
"The honeymoon with high end audio is short?" Not so, Jay!!! One must speak for one's self. I've had a honeymoon with my Revel Salon 2 speakers for years, and I suspect that the honeymoon will continue for years to come. Congrats on your new speakers, they are "AWESOME" indeed!!!
Thank you
The Salon 2 is all you ever need. I pass my Revels at 65hz because I like a touch more bass than they have turned in.
I think people just chase bass which is easily fixed with subs and a proper high pass. Anyway enjoy and good choice.
Looking at the history of this channel, he will be selling these speakers in a couple of months and moving on to something else.
@@wa2368 nothing wrong with playing with the some of the best of the best😊
Well done you have inspired me to keep working I'm rock bottom at the moment. After losing my workshop car and pretty much everything. I'm also trying to build a UA-cam channel and was trying to build the best system possible. I'm starting again from nothing. If this is where hard work gets you I'm going to keep going. Thank you for the inspiration.
I appreciate you sharing your story. Keep driving and don't let the haters drag you in the mud. Their job is to simply make you stronger
You can come back. I did.
Most Listeners do not have the caliber of total system gear, setup, and know how to begin to truly appreciate what levels of graduations and gradiations are available within recordings that can be laid into the bed of realism within One's own listening environment. This purchase choice is a great example of excellence in ultra high end. Kudos 👍👍👍👍👍 Welcome to the beginning of seeing Your choice recordings just as a start in a whole new light and experience. Again, 👏👏👏👏👏
I heard them a few weeks ago at at dealer in the DC area. I still have chills.
Which dealer was it? I'm in DC myself.
@@asegal4677 JS Audio
Amazing right
@@expresscruiserlife Got it!
When Wilson switched to the soft dome, they became balanced and effortless. Great speaker. The entire line is now.
Jay, you are now above the Stratosphere in the Audio HiEnd! I am truly Proud of your Achievements! Enjoy Soaring with the Wings of the Eagles! 🙌💪
Wow, thanks!
Personally I didn’t enjoy all the never ending build-up to this, but this was a truly, heart felt, passionate presentation.
Bravo! Well deserved.
Wow, thank you!
Congrats Jay !
Did you know Popori Acoustics Loudspeakers are in the USA now
They will be at the Axpona 2023 Show from Notable Audio ! I hope we can get your feedback on them at the Show... Michael Fremer has some Wilson Audio XVX's and said these Popori Acoustics Loudspeakers sounded really great !
Jay, I have started the upgrade journey, I thought what I had was great, until I tried better….amazing, I love my music more! Need to upgrade again! Thanks for the encouragement!
Rock on!
Congratulations on your purchase, clearly a lifetime achievement and testament to hard work. Unfortunately it makes me sad for the state of the high end industry. I was involved in high end audio for nearly 30 years. Back in the 80s, 90’s and 00’s. Back then, true state of the art loudspeakers like the Infinity IRS-Vs were a shocking amount of money at $50,000 a pair. That was an insane amount of money to spend…and it should be noted that they’ve APPRECIATED in years since. Being out of it for well north of a decade, I return in my late 50s to start my research, to look for the one last system to purchase…only to find that the state of the art now costs $350,000…just for the speakers. That’s not inflation, that’s insanity. I have absolutely zero doubt they are incredible loudspeakers, certainly amongst the top ever produced…they’d better be. I’m sure many will flame me for not being able to afford it (wrong, I could write the check), but as a hobby, this level of investment required simply isn’t justifiable. To need to spend north of half a million dollars to achieve the state of the art means that high end audio is pricing itself out of existence. Don’t get me wrong, I was neck deep in the industry for decades, and I understand It was *always* a luxury pursuit for the wealthy…but it was one the average executive, professional or doctor could pursue. Now, you need to be a multi millionaire to be able to afford it. It means the industry I loved for decades is now accessible to a vanishingly small number of people. That’s sad.
Look up the Magico m9 (I think they are 8 or 9 hundred thousand per pair) and the Goldmund telos 8800 monoblock at $366,000 per channel. And now you can spend probably over $100,000 just on cables. So, yeah, there are just people that have that much money. Oh, the Pivetta Opera only amp is $2.2 million. And the Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure is $5m and looks like a golden turd incapable of full range audio.
Wouldn’t have guessed in a million years. You’ve had so many Wilsons. I must have missed early pointers, if you had any. Daryl must be really proud of their creation - the Chronosonic is where your journey was taking you. CONGRATULATIONS.
Thanks
I don’t know how you afford all of this stuff, and you’re definitely biased towards things costing more, and therefore attaching the idea of them sounding better, but thank you for sharing it all. Most of us can never get any of this stuff, and only get to see it through a channel like yours. Thanks Jay, and congrats on these! I’m really happy for you! Your passion and hard work paid off! Keep the videos coming, we really enjoy them ✊👊👍👌
Thank you
I've heard these kind of humongous, mega-buck speakers at audio shows on many occasions and when listening to the sheer scale and awesomeness of these speakers, I did come to one conclusion..........."SIZE MATTERS." Jay, I just don't see how you could ever give these bad boy up. Channel or no channel, these would be my last pair of speakers in life. Congrats!!!
Jay, I keep saying it. You are the MAN.
Your passion is coming in through LOUD AND CLEAR keep it up we are here for the journey and to support you.
I appreciate that
Agreed, they are priceless!
Wasn't a fan of Wilson's. Till now. Darryl has done a fantastic job. He has transformed Wilson to a MUCH more sophisticated, refined sound, which it needed imo. I'm a stat/planar guy, these new Wilson's share many characteristics of that genre, especially the ease, relaxed, natural presentation of details. Organic as you pointed out. These new Wilson's also sound less "noisy " as well, like a stat.
Big step forward for dynamic loudspeakers imo. We'll done Wilson, in my book, you've arrived. Congratulations Jay, you earned these, enjoy them!
Thank you
Watching this video I felt that my body was covered in Goose bumps .
That's my intention!
Congrats! That's great when you get that much involvement, especially when you know tweaking will only make it better and/or bring hours of enjoyment, fascination and hobby based satisfaction. I used to work in a stereo store eons ago and the hours we'd spend experimenting after the store was closed were just incredible. We had a huge inventory & variety; it was kind of nirvana. 😁
Interesting
J Tee. Yes it was. 😀
Congratulations to you Jay 💯👌 you deserve it gentleman 😊 I'm so so happy for you 🎶🥳🍾 WoW just WoW 🤩
Thanks so much
Wow! Those are some seriously impressive speakers. I wish I could hear them in person. Enjoy them in good health
Thanks
Congrats dude, well done keeping the suspense up! Ya should have a Wilson set up person come out! They'll move a speaker an eight of an inch, and you'll be hearing a harp ya never new existed lol! Should be proud of yourself, you chased ur dreams and ignored the haters! and made it a reality!
Much appreciated
This would definitely be the ultimate system I'd want for listening to "Keith Don't Go".
Well done Jay. You sound emotionally moved to have these speakers and for the first time, you speak as if its not the speakers ability that is in doubt but your own to realise their full potential.
Exactly
After saying how he was done with Wilson and Magico, goes right back to the well. Honesty there is a lot of pushback on this speaker even from magazines due to price. I’ve heard it - sounds like a richer Wilson but the soundstage is unnaturally tall. have a feeling it’s too big for Jays room too.
Stay tuned
Yeah I often wonder if off loading to subs with a high pass and room correction from 80-60hz down is not the better way to go. Keeps the processing out of the mids and only on the subs where it is far less noticeable.
Wilson’s own sub controller is probably pretty good. Regardless of how good these are in the bass a pair comparable subs (gothems for example) tuned and corrected has to be better but I am just guessing. Not everyone likes the sound of powered subs but I do.
I would measure your room and see what you get. Often the best place for smooth bass is no where near the best place for soundstage.
Its is definitely going to overpower his small room.
This is awesome! Congrats on getting one of THE best speakers currently available. Looking forward to lots and lots of videos with these masterpieces. Enjoy!
Thanks! Will do!
Got it wrong . I thought it was the Wharfedale Diamonds . Seriously enjoy the Wilsons
Congrats jay hang on to them I agree it could be the best speaker Wilson has ever made along with the Alex v please please do not sell or get rid of these speakers these are the ultimate endgame speakers that should last you a lifetime
Indeed
I want the wham loudspeaker! I wanna play a record player through those speakers!
You totally outdid yourself on these. Matching these with the Boulder monoblocks must be sonic heaven. Wow!!
It is
Congratulations 🎉, Jay. I’m happy for you. I hope you enjoy them for many years.
I've owned three pairs of Wilsons over the years, the last being the Sasha DAW. That speaker was SOOO boomy in my room (and any other) that I could only tolerate it for 4 months, I had purchased it brand new and took a beating on it...but I am done with Wilson, no speaker has boomed in my room like that before, and no speaker has boomed since!!
Sounds like you didn't srt them up correctly
Could have been fixed easily with dsp
If Wilsons "boomed" they were NOT setup properly in your room.
I am sure the reason the room boomed had nothing to do with the speaker itself. The speaker simply excited a room mode in the lower frequencies. The speaker does play down to 20hz. What your room needs is some attention. You have a boomy room not speaker.
I agree Wilsons are for tone-deaf people who want to impress others with how much they cost shallow people love them narcissists love them and good people with good taste hate them and they are correct. Save your money buy some good speakers and let the Jays of the world stroke their fragile egos.
I am very excited and happy to see this absolutely fabulous and state of the art speaker in your listening room! A fitting tribute and testimonial to all of the sacrifice, hard work and sleepless nights that you've endured! I'm going to run out of superlatives, so I'll close by saying that you are marvelous, blessed and appreciated!
Much appreciated Rickey!
You reached it...Mount Everest...the top of the world. Big congrates! So cool to follow you journey.
Wow..brother what beautiful speaker..congratulations, ur energy/enthusiasm/passion it inspire many people.. keep going 💪 on
No doubt that they sound great, but their appearance has the charm of an industrial robot 😮
Never been a huge Wilson Audio fan but I sure do appreciate the stunning design and build that goes into them vs. most box speakers. Congratulations and I can feel your passion come through. New Subscriber you got. Thanks!
Thanks!
A statement for sure. Happy for you! Enjoy the moment. Life is short.
Yes! Thank you!
Good choice. No you have to buy Lampizator Horizon DAC and connect it directly to your Boulders mono. Best sound ever. We compare it with Vivaldi Apex, MSB Select and choice was obvious.
OK
Jay, congratulations! Very happy for you🎉 Wilson can provide group delay measurements of a particular amp if they have the opportunity to measure it. Maybe your Boulder amp is already in their database, it is probably worth checking. They do it only for WAMM and XVX.
That's the plan!
Congraud's Jay 👏👏You deserve this from all your hard work. Thank you for bringing us all on your journey.
There are things that are apparently comparable but are not. An Apple watch and a Cartier Tank, both are watches. A Tesla S and a Ferrari 296 are both high-performance cars.
There are speakers for different types of audiophiles.
There are those who like music, those who like specifications and those who like to show off with price tags.
The sheer massive brutality of a Wilson Audio Chronosonic cannot be compared with the delicate refinement of a Pearl Sibelius for example, they are different beasts, especially when paired with completely different high end amplifiers like Boulders and Kondos!
But when it comes to comparable things, perhaps if you could try the creme de la creme of a Living Voice Vox Olympian, your opinion of Wilson might radically change.
Simply Superb!! Journey is peaking. Don't stop. Thx for letting me follow your experience.
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations Jay, I always love it when hard work pays off.
Me too!
Not to be a snob here , but have you ever heard a audio note level 6 system yet? I understand this is in your opinion. But as a person who still sell Wilson speakers for living I was blown away by audio note.
It simply made me understand that there is a certain emotional connection which I don’t get with Wilson ,magico , YG .
Either ways.. congratulations on your system man. Hope you have an amazing time with it. Much love!!
Level 6 doesn't exist yet. Level 5 and level ultra. I have level 5 speaker's and digital front end. But sold my amps due to health issues. So I needed something simpler to use daily.
To be honest. I don't think audio note UK is something jay would enjoy. He has a completely different taste and doesn't get to involved in music. It's more about the gear than the music. No offense. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Noooo u must try Marten Coltrane Supreme 2 and kharma enigma veyron😎
Feel proud and inspired by you... keep up the good work... respect...
Thank you so much 😀
Dream speakers! Incredible, cant wait for the sound clip.
Congratulations Jay! Looking forward to hear how you dial in those remarkable speakers to get even more out of them.
You and me both!
I think you finally found the speaker thats gonna stay for more than just a year Jay, congrats!
I hope so!
Congrats Jay that’s definitely a work of art and engineering. Hope you enjoy them very much! The sky is the limit now
That's the plan!
Jay all your hard work has paid off in ginormous sonic dividends , Congratulations 👏
Yes! Thank you!
Every new speaker is the best, until it is out of his room and he will have bad things to say about it. Wash, rinse, repeat. The Magico A5 was supposed to be the best speaker ever, anything bigger and he claimed it would overpower his small room. Now he has this way bigger speaker that is known to have boomy bass in most rooms uncorrected, you wont hear that it would overpower his room until he gets rid of it. Lets make a bet.
Totally agree. I’m done with this channel.
@@andrejrojc4719 you'll be back 😉
OK. Make a bet but make sure you have money first...
Known to have boomy bass. The only ones saying this have never heard a Wilson speaker properly set up.
@@jaysaudiolab you speak as though you are the only one that has money in the world. Bahahahahahahahahahahaha! Lets bet.
If only Wilson Audio could make their speakers more attractive looking! This is where I see a huge difference between USA and Europe... The balance they try to strike between design and final technical outcome.
Way to go Jay!!! Life is short. Enjoy every second of your awesome new speakers and system.
That's the plan!
could you do a close up of the speakers? the details of what does such of expensive speakers look like, i don’t think any channel does this. thank you
I hope you're not OCD Jay, because you have an infinity of configurations at your fingertips.
I would end up institutionalizd. Great work and good luck!
You need to get someone from Wilson there to install them Jay. It takes 2-3 days. I don't want to be a pain or rude but at this level you don't know what you don't know. It is a process.
Indeed
HUGE Congratulations Jay! You are worth it! Keep on fighting!
Thank you! Will do!
Truly Amazing, congratulations on your lifelong pursuit of excellence
WOW 💫 Well Done ‼️ Gongratulations, after reaching the summit with the electronics now follows the Speaker...I very much enjoyed watching this video and your first take on them 👌🏾 And they are stunning beautiful as well as I could see in the short video 🤓 Enjoy this peak and alot of pleasure and wows listening and maybe some tears of Joy as well 👏🏾 Best Wishes from Germany , Chris 🖖🏾
I can only think of three letters...
*WOW!*
Love the intro and the edit 👍
The entertainment value is of the charts 😁
I was curious about other speakers but I understand focus, goals and the right opportunity.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us !
A member ;)
Amazing system. Would love to hear in the room. I only get maybe a couple hours a week in my listening room but it's my sanctuary and totally peaceful for me. Appreciate the videos.
Right on!
Amazing stuff! I was kinda hoping you would try something other than Wilson, Focal or Magico (I was rooting for TAD). I'm not one to judge, if you like the way something sounds you like the way something sounds.
Congratulations! Happy listening! You really like love Wilson speakers.❤
Yes! Thank you!
I was not expecting Wilson. I also did not know you have been serious for that long. Brings on a little more respect.
WOW, CongratZ!!!
Thanks
Oh man! Congrats, on this moment and all your achievements. Enjoy it bro.
Thanks a ton!
YES!!! CALLED IT!!! Congrats Jay!!!
Thank you
Can you get the GR Research upgrade for these?🤣
Lol
If Danny had his hands on a pair he would recommend No Rez and show a bad waterfall only to charge you $9,000!! LMAO
Lol!!!!
@@adaboy4zJay: Do you have pictures of build quality of the Crossover?
Jay, what's the difference of this speaker from the previous you had before this one...
You'll know eventually
Congratulations Jay. What a seriously impressive amazing system and achievement. Enjoy 😎👍
Thanks so much!
Congratulations. Great speakers, a lot of work and sacrifices.
Yes they are!
@@jaysaudiolab I love the sound of Wilson. Can't wait for more videos.
Jay, very happy for you. I'm sure you worked very hard to get where you are today. How does it feel when a politician says that you somehow got lucky and got rich on the backs of others?
Give it a rest.
A Democrat politician.
nice set up I love the stromtank power conditioner I will get the s1000 when I have chance
This is the end game, the final frontier. As a courtesy I think Peter Mcgrath should help set up your speakers because you will be the number one salesperson for Wilson Audio. Congrats from a fellow Wilson owner.
Maybe they will help me.?
Yes, Wilson should help set them up Jay. I'm very surprised they didn't offer.
End game!? Those are only Scan Speak drivers in closed and BR boxes with a lesser dome tweeter, it's mainstream, not exotic and far away from final frontier, it's just the ridiculous price and because of that you think it's the best
@@DYNABLASTERTUNERS
Have u listened to them ? I haven’t .. but yea surprised that Wilson didn’t help with the set up..
@@Alephkilo I don't need to listen to them to know how about they can sound, they did a good job of making the baffles smallest possible and to physically time align the drivers. ScanSpeak drivers, dome tweeter, closed and BR box, it's just components and integration, it's not magic sorcery, those components and boxes have their limit. Class or two above is Open Baffle principle with some low Mms, small diameter voice coil exquisite fullrange unit as mid/high or a bigger fieldcoil unit, RAAL ribbons, fieldcoil woofers and OB servo subs, that's another dimension, and it costs a fraction of Chronosonic price.
A great choice of a speaker. I think you will find it a better match to your Boulder amps than the Magicos.. From here on just enjoy the music.
Thanks for the tips!
I am just watching this video now. I didn’t see any Rockport Technology speakers in your journey. I am wondering if there is any reason for not having any. BTW, your videos are great.
Not yet but you never know 😊
Jay, you've done it , you are now .........P L A T I N U M .............The Chrosonics look and sound fabulous.
Much appreciated
I suspect they will give your electronics a bit ofca workout too. I look forward to sharing your journey with you.
thank you
Jay might be the only guy who bought these speaker and can also move them by himself. Dude is built like a tight end.
Hahha
Nice Jay very nice is the top right speaker on an angle or is it the camera angle making it look off?
Try adding transparent top-of-the-line cables or even consider esoteric digital there are many ways you can grow with these amazing 🤩 speakers
Soon
Wow - congratulations Jay! Worth waiting for. This is a BIG deal!
It really is!
put on a shirt with a collar for this one LOL
Nice, congrats Jay. It only makes sense, given your other components. Top of the line, deserves top of the line.
Yes it does!
Congratulations, but for a speaker that size do you need more width and height in your room?
Big congratulations Jay!! You purchased these from a dealer and I would think Wilson would definitely want to help with the proper set-up to dial these in for you. Enjoy the journey at the top of the stratosphere!
That's the plan!
Thanks Buddy!
Very nice, I think the only thing you are missing is a nice active crossover or I do not know how you plan to power the speakers. Guessing the boulder can do 4 channels per amp. The wamm has the ActivXO crossover and that maybe the only addition you need to actually reach a fairly similar performance. Possibly that too maybe overkill since each way probably has it's own crossover but who knows it may still have a benefit.
Thanks
