Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh

Emerging soul. What? If you bothered to listen to the 90 minute explanation of why Jay sold his Lyras you would know that they " allowed him to hear things he had never heard" before and that the bass, fit and finish were first rate. He sold them because he got an immediate offer for them after it took months to unload his XVXs. This should tell you something about Rockport speakers. A used pair of Lyras had never come up for sale before. Owners keep them. I posted a thread here on the subject and Jay himself replied that what I said was spot on. Look it up. Everything is there about the Lyra and Jays opinion. Jay and I have spoken a few times about Rockport and have bought and sold a few things. Rockport has never been doing better than they are right now. All time sales record. They are looking for land to build a new complex. If you bothered to look Lyra and Orion have won multiple "bests" this year from reviewers all around the world. Orion and Lyra are two of Robert Harleys 5 best speakers of all time. The only negative is the 3Ma paint issue which wasn't actually an issue which occurred when they became a dealer for Magico. Everyone can have an opinion but mischaracterizing Jays comments (or not understanding them) and making baseless uneducated statements about a company is a problem. I am not a Jay basher. We have very very different tastes and goals but like you I think he has something to add to this hobby. I'm all for your enthusiasm but do try to put in the work yourself and to think critically about what he or anyone else says before you post.

I think that OPs continued writing about jay and his videos is creepy.

I really cannot get through his videos. A little too “ used car salesman “ for me. Same thing that Hilde45 said but it was about the Wilson’s. At first they are the best ever. Then he goes to Munich and poo poos them. It’s no wonder Michael Fremer ignored him. 
here is the thing I don’t get. At the Next Level Hifi event in Illinois/ Chicagoland he was down to earth. Like I would go and have a meal with him. When he is not trying to sell you something he is great. 
Jay, I know this is going to be tough to read all of these posts. Real selling is about educating the customer. Asking questions and getting the customer to what they need. Plus, your audio recording equipment is really good. If this is about making money on YouTube then give us audio comparisons between equipment and media. Like digital to analog. You have a killer turntable and streamer. Use it. My library even has all different types of records. No need to buy. Plus Greg Weaver has to have some stuff you can borrow. 
it’s there. Your just not doing it correctly. 
If you do move please do not put your home theater and million dollar two channel in the same room unless done correctly. They are not the same room treatments. 
Sorry for the rant but the real Jay is in there, can he please stand up. 

I'm all for your enthusiasm but do try to put in the work yourself and to think critically about what he or anyone else says before you post.

That is not in this OP’s DNA. 

I like him he’s got a lot of positive Energy. And he keeps flashing all this wonderful gear what could there be not to love here.

I think he’s bringing life to the whole industry so this can’t be a bad thing, it needs to be revitalized. I think in time he will be more critical about all the high prices and the absurdity of sky high valuations for gear that’s probably very similar to gear for a lot less.

And he’s got an amazing pick up truck I’ve never seen anything that big.

Are you Jay himself on a hidey account? This sounds like Jay’s promo mind talking (Only Jay can think as highly of himself...It's not possible for any other emerging soul).
