Jay's Audio Journey

If Jay's Journey were a movie, what would it be? Field of Dreams? Rocky? Apocolypse Now? (We are gradually floating deeper in to the jungle)
BTW, I'm guessing Rockport Lyra.

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)

Hi Jay,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and information. You're in a unique position to procure and demo so much high end equipment that I and others wish we were in.

If I can comment WRT room treatment - At the level you're at you are leaving significant performance on the table without ample and proper room treatment. As good as your system sounds there's another level waiting to be uncovered. Just food for thought.
 
A nicely treated room need not look like an anechoic chamber or recording studio...

I was thinking The Sonus Faber based on the comments in the video.

Agreed, however your example leaves at least 2 surfaces almost completely untreated. Why spend so much $ on gear and inadequately manage what many argue is the most important piece of the sonic puzzle. The best systems sound the best in the best rooms.

What surface is that? Are you sure about that?

Great point...a good number of people seem (IMHO) to over treat their rooms with absorbers, diffusors, resonators, etc...

The thing I have not understood (and it may be my lack of knowledge) is that you'll see a system and a speaker in a room,
there will be many room treatments on the wall and then a big speaker upgrade will occur and yet the speaker is brought
into the room with the treatments remaining in the same places of the same types, numbers of them, etc...

It's true there are certain aspects of a room that need treating but I tend to think that 90% of the treatments in the room are
to treat the room in the context of the system playing in that room as of then, including the specific speaker's behavior in-room.

If someone does a big upgrade (e.g. Alexia to Alexx V in Wilson terms or a cross-upgrade i.e. one speaker brand to another), it would seem
that you should take all treatments down, install the new speaker, position it for best imaging, bass, mids, highs, etc...and then
and only then, start experimenting with room treatment if any is needed for the new speaker and build up only what is needed.

I've not been able to rationalize using the same room treatment treatment strategy from the prior setup after a major change in speakers/performance/playback personality.

FWIW and only one man's opinion and all that.
