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...
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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 RUclips 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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 💪🏻
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.
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!
Hi Jay -just wondered what your thoughts are on Stillpoints under speakers, I currently have a pair of Avalon PM1 ‘s which sound incredible but my dealer has mentioned to get the best out of them I need to isolate them as they are on a hard wooden floor.
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!
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!
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?
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!!!
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!
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.
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!
This is awesome!! Congratulations on your set up mind numbing to say the least. All I have is a Polk 5.1 and it rocks I can only fathom what your is like has to be out of this world!! +1 sub here!!
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, 👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely gorgeous speaker setup. Quick question in a future video. Could you show the amplifiers speaker wire and processor that you’re! using for those beautiful speakers?
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.
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.
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!
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. 😁
You mention that you just placed them in the room. Did the dealer assist you to get the best out of them. So many people do not know how to set up their speakers correctly. Wilson uses the WASP method.
@@Smood47 yes I do. And I will continue to do so. Don't worry about me or my financial situation. Worry about your own and figure out how you can be at this level. Of course, your answer will be you don't need to be at this level.. Blah blah blah. Etc.
@@jaysaudiolab The great thing is you no idea about me or my financial situation, but instead you are a small person that needs to insinuate that everyone is beneath you and that you are so great because you have a $1 million dollar system. Hopefully one day you can develop some humility. Probably won't happen.

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
When Wilson switched to the soft dome, they became balanced and effortless. Great speaker. The entire line is now.
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
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 !

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

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.

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😊
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!
You totally outdid yourself on these. Matching these with the Boulder monoblocks must be sonic heaven. Wow!!
It is
Nice Jay very nice is the top right speaker on an angle or is it the camera angle making it look off?
I think you finally found the speaker thats gonna stay for more than just a year Jay, congrats!
I hope so!
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.

This would definitely be the ultimate system I'd want for listening to "Keith Don't Go".

Thanks
Jay, what's the difference of this speaker from the previous you had before this one...
You'll know eventually
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
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!
You reached it...Mount Everest...the top of the world. Big congrates! So cool to follow you journey.

Simply Superb!! Journey is peaking. Don't stop. Thx for letting me follow your experience.
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations, but for a speaker that size do you need more width and height in your room?
Dream speakers! Incredible, cant wait for the sound clip.
Awesome Jay!

Oh man! Congrats, on this moment and all your achievements. Enjoy it bro.
Thanks a ton!
Really nice speakers is it seas element as in the Sabrina x?

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!!!

I want the wham loudspeaker! I wanna play a record player through those speakers!
Agreed, they are priceless!
Got it wrong . I thought it was the Wharfedale Diamonds . Seriously enjoy the Wilsons
Congratulations! You are an inspiration. 💪
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
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.

Yes indeed
Interesting that the top of the Wilson range is basically open baffle for highs and mids
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.

Why didn't you do a video talking about hearing the m9? And what system sounds better then m9 system in that room your system in your room ?
I did. It's on my membership section
@@jaysaudiolab Facepalm. You buy million of dollars of gear and you really need to nickle and dime people on patreon?
@@Smood47 yes I do. And I will continue to do so. Don't worry about me or my financial situation. Worry about your own and figure out how you can be at this level.
Of course, your answer will be you don't need to be at this level.. Blah blah blah. Etc.
@@jaysaudiolab The great thing is you no idea about me or my financial situation, but instead you are a small person that needs to insinuate that everyone is beneath you and that you are so great because you have a $1 million dollar system. Hopefully one day you can develop some humility. Probably won't happen.
By the way... get a bigger room man. Why handicap xvx by putting them in a closet?
Hey Lil Bro, ;-) Are these good enough to keep ??
Most definitely
Which speakers are those at 1:13?
Congratulations Brother... Well Deserved.
