Here is some info on the new MOFI/Jones speaker:

Jay seems like a nice guy and earnest. And I do like the gear pron aspect of his channel.

On the other hand, I find him over-serious, always delivering stuff like it’s almost like he was up all night contemplating how he’s going to break the important audio information to the audience. I personally wouldn’t take audio advice from the guy as I think he’s quite far down the rabbit hole. But on the other hand I have little doubt he’s had some great gear and his system probably sounds amazing.

this jay character lost all credibility with me when he posted a y-t vid saying pass labs amps were mid-fi

he simply hasn’t a clue what hi-fi is if he believes that

Jay is a human being and thus of course has flaws, but IMHO at least he does not seem disingenuous. His systems, while not to everyone's tastes, certainly contain state of the art components. He has more direct experience with uber high end gear in his own system than anyone else I know of, so when he shares an opinion of Boulder gear, for example, I have no reason to doubt what he says. With that being said, I thought he made an error in judgement denigrating the SP 10s in that YouTube video without having had them in his system, and told him so in that video's comments section, and judging by his responses to other critical comments, he's getting ready to admit the mistake.
