I have to agree about SVS having world class customer service. I purchased the SVS 3000 Micro Subwoofer last fall direct form SVS, and just before the 45 day refund period expired, the price was reduced by $100 for a Black Friday sale. I was shocked to find out that I automatically got a $100 refund to my credit card without me even knowing about the sale or without me requesting a refund or having to do anything. I have never in my life heard of any company doing that automatically. BTW, the sub is great and very happy with it.

Thank you SO MUCH for including our presentation (SVS) in your video. I worked very hard on designing it so it means a lot to me personally. And I promise, next year I will lower the volume. We kinda wanted to go out with a bang 😆 Thank you again ❤️

@ I have my reasons why I went with the Tilta ring. First is that it allows me to use v-mount batteries to power my monitor, camera, and the gimbal for majority of the day. The RS2 might be more versatile and nimble but that battery won't last 3 rooms and it won't be ergonomic for me since I'd need to have separate batteries for the monitor and camera. (which also means I have to carry around spare batteries somewhere) I shot over 1000 footages just in Montreal... Axpona is a bigger show and I'm bracing myself for it

Thank you Jay, wonderful presentation, you do really give us a feeling of having attended the show a bit.

For decades, Meridian has been doing what Daniel Hertz is now doing. It won’t catch on to general audiophiles because they love to mix and match components. Otherwise, Meridian would be the most popular brand by now.

meridian use shit drive units and now use class D amplification , unlike ATC who make their own drivers and still use class A / AB active amplification for their SCM ASL MONITORS , which are exceptional for a dynamic active monitor system .

​@@ianjohnhorwood2605SEAS and Kef drive units are sh@t? You better put on those spectacles next time you "analyze" their construction.

The videography is beautiful! It's how I'd like my sound too, warm, vivid, and envelopes me.

A force-cancelling woofer design does not cancel any output from the opposing driver, it only cancels most of the vibration that is caused by the drivers movement. Wave cancelation would only happen if one of the drivers was accidentally internally wired out of phase, then both drivers outputs would almost completely cancel out each other out and there would be no bass at all.

Artist Cloner was definitely one of the best rooms in the show, and the speakers sounded great

Loved those steam punk speakers Will need a lot of dusting !

Hey Jay . . . great meeting you and seeing your neat space age camera rig at the YUL show. :-) Yes, the Daniel Hertz system was truly impressive (especially considering the Chiara's small footprint but BIG sound!) along with Adrian's truly entertaining presentation. Agree with you that the Artist Cloner speaks were a miss looks wise - they may sound good but the looks would eventually be very tiring to look at in a normal household and would only "fit in" a warehouse LOL I hope that you will give the planar Diptyque speaks a mention in your part 2 because to me, they were one of the most musical at the show - super impressive bass for a Maggie type speaker and really quite beautiful to look at ! Chers and keep up the good work!

I was there and was really impressed by the Q 5050. Such a great value

My Best of Show were Emotiva XT3. That setup was mind blowing. Arist Cloner Mekanica is another favorite.

Interesting. Nice.

The Artist Cloner Mechanica is $28,500 CAD, not 20k. It’s on their website.

Q 5050 are great. Thanks Jay

In the beginning of the video, there is some Audiovector speakers. What is your take on that brand? Not much on Audiovector in the KZread review space

Q Acoustic 💕

What wonderful speakers. Really would love to listen to those SVS speakers.

Hi Jay, what are your thoughts of the quality and value of the SVS Ultra Evolution speakers and their time aligned/ point source concept? Was the sound balanced or too bass heavy with the multiple woofers? Also your thoughts on the tweeter. Cheers from Australia 😁👍👍

I was there and was also impressed by the Bryston, Q Acoustics and SVS speakers but another speaker impressed me and many others was the Totem Fire V2… they were definitely on fire sonically and aesthetically.

Jay, I’m really hoping you get to review some Bryston speakers in the future. I just heard their Middle T at a local dealer, and I think they might be the best speaker I’ve ever heard. At about $8000 US, they easily bested my buddy’s Perlisten R7Ts, as well as a $13000 pair of Proacs I just listened to. Effortless dynamics and bass, incredible sound stage and imaging, and you can stand up and walk around the room and the sound stays mostly the same.

Having heard TAD CE1 as well, I agree with your assessment, the small ones were not in the same category as the larger units, just not linear frequency response compared with the easy listening larger bookshelves.

I am interested in the Q Acoustics 5050. Please review ASAP 😉

artist cloner was also the highlight of the show for me, if I had the money I would of bought the system on the spot

I wish I could have attended this year.... REALLY enjoy your videos! Can you tell me the title of the track that is playing in the intro? I really enjoy that style of music. Thanks in advance,.

Great coverage.. Quick question... Isn't Pioneer now part of the Onkyo Denon family? And where does that put TAD if they are the "luxury" arm of Pioneer? Thank you for the time.

Best speakers in show for me were the Stein Bobby M : great tones and bass to die for. Regarding the Artist Cloner room : I may be alone in this, but let just say I was left unimpressed. And by the way, 30k for gigantic fugly steampunk contraptions like the Mekanika is a puzzling marketing choice in my view, but hey, let's wish them luck with that...

Hey jay can you review the new klh kandall 2 ?? Thanks i know you loved the 1st version

Nice video. Those crossovers leave lots to be desired. Is an $50 for an air core inductor not possible on a $6000 speaker?

Active DSP 2-way sounds good - who knew? Its so much more flexible.

Thanks for the guided tour! Re the Hertz "health" claims: I'd love to see the measurable evidence of "negative effects of PCM processed audio on human physiology." Does 24 frames-per-second film projection have negative effects on human physiology, too?

recommendation you didn't ask for: could you do reviews and recommendations of lower end gear that the rest of us can buy, stuff in the sub $1000 and sub $2000 range? Your channel is great and at the same time is too rich for most viewers.

Artist Cloners look like something AI would generate

How come the Fyne Audio speakers are not on your radar?

Gli altoparlanti di riferimento per Mark Levinson erano le Acoustic Research M1. Si trovano usate (ma sono rare) a 100/150 euro. Difficile negare la competenza di Mark Levinson in fatto di acustica. Però se sì desidera spendere tanto, ottenendo poco di più, giusto. Ciao da Roma.

I went to the Bryston website to learn more about their speakers featured in this video. Unfortunately, these particular Bryston speakers are not listed on the Bryston website, although there are a fair number of other Bryston loudspeakers on their site. Personally, I think it is a big mistake to demo products at an audio show that aren't even available, or at least described on their website with some kind of availability date mentioned.

It looks like model T with rearranged drivers. There's no other useful info that would be in the specific listing as it's all just standard marketing

That's soooo expensive.🤔😌

The problem with listening to speakers at a show is because they have multiple pairs of speakers in the same room, which severely affects the low end and the midbass

Great summary Jay. It seems many names are falling by the wayside. Great to see research and innovation going on. ☮️🇦🇺

Dig the Artist Cloner steam-punk aesthetic, but the inclusion of the coffee shop piping, with pipe caps used as trim absolutely ruins the appeal ... to me. As someone that's been immersed in the electrical construction industry, as well as the pipe trades, ... the pipe caps misses the mark. Their use is looked down upon as being junky, sloppy, lack of forethought. Yeah, it's a niche opinion. I certainly dig the big exposed coils and elements towards the bottom. I get the appeal ... that "look" is encountered seemingly everywhere right now. Roastery coffee shops, craft breweries, distilleries. Thinking ... perhaps this says more about me! Jay, its worth noting your video from capture to submission, is just stellar.
