I think proper room treatment and ACTUALLY letting speakers break in before moving on to the next speakers would allow Jay or anyone else to find a speaker that fits your room and makes you happy for 1-5 years till the audio itch begins again. Jay appears to love to get them, provide video session content , and then get them out for next set of speakers for more video content. I can remember going to Blink Audio years ago in Boston and heard Raidho speakers for 2 hours and they sounded lovely. Then I had the dealer move the speakers to the size of my 8 foot by 8 ft listening triangle which mimicked my listening room and rear of speakers went from 7 ft to 3 ft away from rear wall as that is the most distance I could provide in my listening room. Well all the 3D holographic magic totally disappeared and I know these speakers would never work in my space even with my extensive room treatment. I agree YG very unlikely to provide bliss if M6 did not. Good luck Jay and maybe 200-500 hours of breakin before video and listening session may make your journey more likely to succeed.

The Magicos need at least 500 hours to start blooming. If you think you can just throw these in and push play, these are the wrong speakers for you.
Jay has a lot to learn, the concept may work, but switching gear so quickly, in an untreated small clutter room, with bad power scheme (all untreated power is bad) is not conducive here. Although you can hear differences in the videos, I would be hard-pressed to tell what is what.
 
I think people are assuming that the M6 didn't have enough hours which is incorrect. They did have enough break in time. Also, my electronics are running almost 24/7 and usually play music throughout the night every single day.
However, why do I sense that some are questioning my practices but are clearly assuming a ton?
I went on record ON VIDEO blaming myself for putting a speaker like M6 in a room that clearly wasn't as prepared as the speaker needed.
What else can I do other than say that on video? Unless of course, the ones who are making these statements don't watch my videos. I urge them to subscribe and watch my videos BEFORE they assume things here. Maybe i already addressed things and you just haven't watched my videos so you assume things...
Yes, the M6 did have over 500 hours.
 
Wonder what the results would have been with the others if you made the same effort to optimize the room as you did with the M6 ..
 
Excellent point!
One last thing i wanted to add...have you all googled some of the rooms in which the M series speakers are found in? You might be surprised with what you see...

The listening room where I spent two days auditioning the M6’s had so many Tube Traps that it looked like the Parthenon in Greece. However, the M6’s sounded magnificent in that room. Maybe that’s what is needed.

And that's something i just won't embark on. I want to do more treatment but I'm not going to do ridiculous things to my room. I'm no factory lab room or the audio chamber in Canada (whatever that is called)

A well-treated good listening room is entirely different than that "audio chamber in Canada," which is an anechoic chamber (I assumed you are referring to the anechoic chamber at Canada NRC, which stands for National Research Council).
