Jay's Audio Journey

Judging by Jay’s choice of music Im thinking infinity IRS, Genesis Gen2 , MBL or any big four tower setup , the big VSR loudspeakers may do it too ..
 
That all said, if you're having to correct the tweeter with power conditioning, cables, amps, etc. it sounds more like you are trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole. Basically you are using tone controls.

What Im gathering is that this level of Magico is both sensitive and revealing... to everything. I suppose changing an amplifier would also constitute using tone controls, as it too is a link in the chain?
 
I’ll make 2 guesses on his next speakers.

M9 or Kharma Enigma Veyron Loudspeaker.

So clean power is a tone control now? Did you find an amp that can drive your YG yet??
It’s a journey. That is the beauty of this hobby. On a Bose radio, clean power is not needed.

to correct a hot tweeter? don't think so. that's a room/speaker issue.

I still use Ampzillas after trying 5-6 amp brands. they have tone with great control in the bass. not expensive enough for Jay- thought about sending him mine ;)
 
I think we can rule out the M9 :-0

Sounds like the precision of the M series wasn't Jay's cup of tea.

Definitely. The M9s are like 80” in height. Jay’s Room isn’t high enough to do justice to them.
 
Jay has owned in succession Wilson, Magico. The “big 3” US speaker manufacturer also includes YG. It would make sense to try YG next. Sonja XV? Jr? Or Sonja 2.3?

I'm a YG owner (Carmel 2) and fan of the brand.

So, I'm a little biased but, honestly, I feel that If Jay didn't like the Magico M then YG would be very similar in "character" to the Magico

Both brands design goals are to play what is on the recording and what is in front of them.

Very neutral etc.

However, with some of YG's propetiarty techonolgy (specifically Dual Coherent crossover) that no other brand has regardless of cost.

This has been further refined with the Sonja 2i series.

The listening experience is unique. Meaning they sound so complete and coherent.

The Big XVs with 4 tower sounds like a point source.

Although it was the most expensive system I've heard. However, it was also the most impressive and transcedent.

Sonja XV powered by 4 Audionet Heisenberg monos , Stern linestage and Kronos Pro source.

The US distributor of Audionet is also one of if not the largest YG dealer in North America.

I hope Jay tries YG but, I'm guessing another brand, given his experience with the Magico M6.

Correct.

I think you might have misread my post.

The US Distributor of Audionet is also a us dealer for YG speakers.
