No room treatment 😂😂😂. This guy Jay is the perfect dealer. Selling his equipment without bothering the customers with the most important thing called room treatment. 😂😂

I can agree with Jay, it's 100% plausible the Rockports benefited by the liveliness of the sidewall energy, ... however every room needs more damping of LF decay times.

It's a great start. When all the room reflections are pretty even, it can work. The volume will be limited, but he has nowhere to go but up :)

Yeah, this is a perfect example of why you shouldn't rely on a salesman to improve your audio experience. A couple hundred dollars in room acoustic treatment will do more than the thousands they will have you spend on DACs, music servers, pre-amps, cables, risers, etc. Honestly, I feel bad for the buyer with how badly misguided he's been by his dealer. This is all driven more by a gear fetish than a love of listening to music.

With money being no problem for this guy I would pay a professional to come out and measure your room and professionally treat it. No point of guessing if a panel should go here or a bass trap here. Invest a bit of money into a professional to come out and treat that room and your system will be even better.

Fast bass. Powerful bass. John, the owner, couldn't belive how strong and powerful the Rockport's bass playback was ... Well(!), it's worth noting it's the equivalent of a twenty inch subwoofer, 4(10"s) equal to a 20" carbon fiber composite cone. The monster Gryphon is spreading it's extraordinary power ... across four voice coils, connected to carbon fiber cones, inside over 1000lbs of entirety inert enclosure. Yeah, a 450lb Gryphon, powering 1000lb inert cabinet with a carbon fiber 20" sub with four voice coils! Yep indeed, that's gonna rock the house. Nice system.
Room treatment? Hearing a lot of echo..

@@tomastoth3839 At this level of hifi, one's perception of how good the value is, is equally tied to gear synergy and customer service, ... as it is to the amount of money invested.
What a system. No one would not be happy with this. Just needs a turntable!👏
John took a look at the ladder and jetpacked his way to the top. Props for putting together a stellar system like that. Great point on needing some liveliness in a room; an over-damped dead room sounds unnatural and frankly "dead". Only mixing studios should be well dampened; listening rooms should have some reverb and predominantly diffusion devices to handle anything bothersome.
I think part of the appreciation is the journey. That is like drinking a bottle of Dom before ever trying other levels of champagne.

What an amazing system. That room sure sounds lively with your voice recordings. But hey it’s not my room. If he loves it that’s all that counts.
The bottom line, John is super happy! Amazing system!
Amazing system !!!
In my experience.... With a certain level of expansion of my system I reach a point point where I don't NEED power tanks, filters etc. I invested good money from the power box to the wall socket and the power strip. I replaced 4 earthing cables and a mains filter. Result.... More dynamics, more open sound, more natural voices and instruments ...... Your room treatment….
Nice.A clean clutter free system,the way i like it,you could try a rug in front of the speakers,but it can slow the sound,but you can try it and called a day.

Well that's a gorgeous man cave 😄 A bit of room reverb can help to make the sound bigger, more ethereal and less analytical. In the end, it's a listening room, not a studio. At very high listening volumes, the reverb could become a problem.

Not too much but a little acoustic treatment should be cool. Your voices are traveling in the room to my perception. At this price point it’s a piece of your equipment doing acoustic treatment. There are nice solution for your room.
Great systems guys.
Would love to hear that setup... congratulations to the owner
Extraordinarily nice system! I'm certain it throws one helluva listening experience.
Amazing job, could we possibly get one or two songs in another video? With a highend headphone rig you can actually get a good sense of certain aspects of a system even over youtube.
Nice system and also the racks are lovely
No carpet!!! Amazing!
cool setup alot of danish components good to see ;-)
I bet this system is louder than mine.
I like the house and hifi
That is a beautiful room and system without doubt. Have you tried a rug? Make any improvements?

Jay ...... fantastic stereo setup ,,,,,,, what are we looking at to pick up a sweetie pie system like this ?
can you speak about what the weights on top of the components adds to the sound quality, crazy good job at getting to the end of the rainbow
Great components but maybe add some room treatments. Bare floors and bare walls not ideal, you can even hear the slap echo in the youtube video of you guys talking. Phenomenal gear though, nice!
The success of your proposal lies in the fact that you avoid bottlenecks such as poor cabling. Apex, I wonder if it is as reactive as my amplifier. However, when it comes to the bass, I have no doubt that it is good.
you need your room sound shaped.that would have saved you thousands and took it to the next level.

So the big Stromtank, being located in the middle of the source rack with a long cable run to the power amp? Would it not be better to have the shortest cable to the amp where the most current is needed?

@@glenncurry3041 The Gryphon's power supply fed by an appropriate*, dedicated circuit is fine. That's the point of the extraordinary power supply of the Gryphon. I wouldn't want anything between that beast and my panelboard! *Appropriate dedicated circuit = short, dedicated home run, upsized awg, tight connections, etc. While pulsing huge amounts of current draw, maintaining still voltage free from voltage drop is vital. Breakers can pass huge amounts more than their rated amount. A 20a breaker can pass 60 amps or more(!) during a demanding kick drum pulse. If the circuit isn't appropriately robust, performance can suffer during demanding transients. (60a through #12awg wire wire incur voltage drop bottleneck) Yep, big amplifiers powering the bottom octaves, I'd plug them directly into the wall.
What are the circular components placed on top of the streamer and amps etc? I see Jay places them throughout all systems

Nice system, but there is no magic in the component matching here. All great stuff and pretty common pairings at dealers, give or take an item here or there. The fact that it was purchased blind was a safe bet given one has the means. Rockport and Gryphon pair well together and neither produce anything that might be unpleasant or fatiguing. While I don't think all rooms need treatment per se, a nice Persian rug would help, and it would look great too. A dense Bijar Rug would be perfect. Oh, and a turntable wouldn't hurt either.

Depends on construction. Concrete floors compared to wood floors, hardwood to plywood. Less need to suspend on concrete as it does not transmit the vibrations except surface waves. Many wood floors are open joists underneath. While most walls will have insulation and a back side/ outer wall making them much more rigid that a floor. So walls are typically more solid and thus less likely to transmit vibrations. And the speakers are not sitting on them.

Vibrations aren't necessarily the relevant element at play. If performance benefits are to be had, they likely arise from the adjacent proximity to the floor surface.
