Dude its a good morning for audio. All is right in the world! My systems are humming, and yours keeps getting better. Love, peace and sound. Happy sunday
Good grief guys, just when I thought you reached the limits of ”monstrous” speakers, you raise the notch even up one more level. Good job, I can’t wait to see the DonDunn dancing video with the measurements attached 😎
@@kingscinema3873 I been upgrading insanely the last 1.5 years... but these speakers is way beyound what I can fit into my flat, thx God for that, LOL :-))
Also, I can appreciate the crossover point; 60hz and above being handled by the quad set of 10"s, so punch and articulation are in good hands, and yet the upper end of the 18"s still contribute as well (with the low inductance, they're contributing quite nicely at 60hz). Cool stuff
I vote for more of RTJ and Jeff on the channel :) Looking forward to the next video! Too bad you don't seem to have Dirac Live Bass Control setup yet. Impressions of those speakers in your room would be interesting! You can email Dirac and get the latest beta version that fixes a serious bug present in the current 3.0.14(most people probably won't notice the bug but any trained listener most likely would).
I haven't seen them in person or heard them in person and I'm absolutely sold! Can't wait to own the JTR Captivators for my future dedicated home theater.
I saw the 'RTJ' name, it didn't register, but then saw Jeff's name and I thought surely, they didn't typo the damn name of the video? My home theater is all JTR and they're truly superb speakers, effortless etched precision to extreme volumes. The first time you hear Jeff's JTR speakers, you're gonna go 'wow', and no doubt these will be the same, even spelled backwards, it's still 'wow'.
What driver is used on your horn ? That’s a low frequency I have found structure Aluminum does sound the best I don’t like titanium sounds brutal always has I thought that we get over it but they never dead
Way way way out of my price range but it’s nice to see high end speakers that aren’t built with magic dust or some sort of other strange elements. They don’t try to be art pieces or some sort of luxury CNC aluminum furniture. It’s like a pro cinema speaker scaled to perform in a home environment with the highest end components he could build or source. Jeff just needs to convince enough super high end HT integrators to install his $60000 worth of speakers versus someone else’s. Marketing is half the battle in these markets. These don’t have the floor presence or cache of something like a B&W 700s or 800s. These things scream all extreme engineering and performance which is a lot harder to sell then luxury and beauty.
Undoubtedly that large strong and probably relatively heavy cone will have a pretty low FS too. Exactly the sort of drivers and configuration I've always liked in car audio.
The upper subwoofers seem over kill, you'd probably be fine with one sub on the bottom and the mid/tweeter box on the top of it dropping the price about 10k
Can :) I have A3080 and in the beginning used it - and its capable if you dont go to very high levels. However its better to drive them with some separate, stron amplifier. Then you are sure you will not damage the speakers, you get enough headroom, and less distortion.
Valid question. RTJ does have separate more powerful amp and I believe a more rigid enclosure. Also, it's sold through a dealer network as opposed to ID.
JTR is the main brand and its internet direct - so you order directly from Jeff. RTJ is instalator brand - so you need a third party company to sell them to you (which for sure increases the price).
Looks like some great speakers but that guy can’t stop swaying like he’s drunk not a great look for his company I’m guessing he’s nervous, love all the videos
It's really too bad that studios are starting to mix their home releases to play nicely with TV speakers and soundbars and not high performance home theater systems. I'm looking at you, especially, Disney!
Jeff owner and designer says in the video that the RTJ line of speakers are a step up in quality and performance. Compared to even the reference JTR speakers. So yes RTJ line of speakers that form a tower in the video are better than the JTR Noesis 215RT towers.
As some others have mentioned, great speaker if you live in a castle. I’ll take the RBH please. And if I lived in a castle, I’ll hire people to build me an IMAX theater. It seems like ihaving 5000 hp in a new C8 Corvette. Like the car needs 3,000🤨 hp compared to stock form..🤔🙄😳. Would love to see the resale value of these things in eight years?🤔🤫😳. Who needs it that loud unless your deaf? I will add, that there are a lot of castle sized homes out there nowadays. Especially in Florida.🤑
The profit margin they are getting on these speakers is insane. If you have the slightest DIY knowledge on this stuff, go ahead and save yourself 60-70%.
@@boomerps2 i just checked- they look quite advanced also. But from the process of building looks like it takes A LOT OF SKILLS and A LOT OF TIME to build your own (not to mention the tools). But looking at price of the parts i would not think they will play as good as JTRs.
@@kingscinema3873 Like I said in my original comment, if you have any DIY skill there can be massive amounts of money that can be saved. Check out the DIY section of AVSforum. It will blow your mind the stuff people are putting together at a huge cost savings. I've heard a pair of JTR's in a two channel configuration and they sound great, not $8000 great. Just my opinion.
@@JTRspeakers The more you do it the easier it gets, practice makes perfect. Would love to hear the JTR line one day and maybe even own some! Congratulations on the new RTJ line!
I have 12 JTR speakers at home and love them!!! The sound is so great! Rock them everyday for movies and music!
Which ones do you have? Would you recommend 210 or 212rt for a small room?
I bought Jtr speakers a few months back, and they are the most amazing speakers ever. Thank you Jeff!!!
Agree with you :)
Which ones do you recommend?
@@tweedpenguin712 the Noesis RT series. I have the 210RT

Dr. Jeff I would like to say now, what a setup he has produced! This setup your going to see in a lot of rooms now. Well done

Watch out custom market! Congrats on RTJ Jeff! Love my JTR speakers and subs, and excited for my new quad 18”s!

Congratulations Jeff!
I’m Rocking JTR & Cherry 🍒….. Audio bliss!!!
Truly next level speakers. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, JTR speakers with Cherry Amps😳⚡️💥⚡️💥
Try this M3a-1500M it's 7k cheaper than their best
Don Dunn model! Hahahahahaha. I’ll have what he’s having!!!
I got the moves like Jagger! LoL!

Can't wait to see more JTR/RTJ measurements!
Totally thought that was a typo in the title.
Getting that clinical crosser plate out of that meeting range where your most sensitive is a brilliant move takes a big one but it’s great
Those speakers look like they would last a lifetime. They probably will get better and better over a lifetime.
What are the skinny towers next to the RTJ towers?
Awesome looking, Love my JTR speakers 🙂
Which ones do you have?
@@tweedpenguin712 210RT towers with the 210RM center and 110's for surrounds.
What driver is used on your horn ? That’s a low frequency I have found structure Aluminum does sound the best I don’t like titanium sounds brutal always has I thought that we get over it but they never dead
These look perfect for my RV.
Even getting chance to listen to such demo is luck😁
I think Gene just absorbed Hugo like Cell from DBZ. Dudes biceps are getting huge
Finally some efficient monster speakers.
My bank account right now is like "dont even think about it"
I could imagine the electricity bills $$$$$$ nice speakers i must say . ✔👍💪
They are very efficient - so probably will even use less power than most speakers for the same volume.
They ever have scratch and dent specials?
how come those 2 speakers on top and bottom don't match sensitivity with the middle speaker makes me not want it over the 215rt
Next you'll need a house with 12ft ceilings to get the next jtr speakers.
Well, the RTJ was a inch or two shorter than the RBH.
Just the best !!

Honestly looks pretty similar to some of the older imax speakers.
Looking at those towers reminds me of the epic video of Ken Fritz.
How is the sub getting the low frequency from such a small box is it ported? using DSP
What active crossover does it use
Sealed, boosted, 36mm xmax.
@@Audioholics yes but how do you get 36 mm in a vacuum box.??
@@johnsweda2999 a relatively compliant suspension, potent motor and POWER.
@@johnsweda2999 lots of amplifier power.
Undoubtedly that large strong and probably relatively heavy cone will have a pretty low FS too. Exactly the sort of drivers and configuration I've always liked in car audio.
great speakers but can we get a better finish for $40k
The finish is a custom lacquer paint developed to be non-light reflective for home theater. Other finishes can be custom ordered.
You could but it comes at a cost. These are meant to be heard and not seen.
@@JTRspeakers Thank you Jeff for making the most amazing speakers i have ever owned.
It has been four months. When you going to review Focal Kanta2 ? Most of your fans are waiting to watch that review.
Awesome speakers!! more!!
The upper subwoofers seem over kill, you'd probably be fine with one sub on the bottom and the mid/tweeter box on the top of it dropping the price about 10k
You gotta be a little insane for these 😆
And a lot of money 😉
Neighbors will 🥰 it lmao
I'll wait for the larger Jr.T version 😅
👍Awesome💯
A lot of Db's. Nice speakers
But wait?!?! What about "Crossover Guy??" We need him to sign off on it before we buy...😂
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if my Yamaha RX A2080 can power these 😅
Can :) I have A3080 and in the beginning used it - and its capable if you dont go to very high levels. However its better to drive them with some separate, stron amplifier. Then you are sure you will not damage the speakers, you get enough headroom, and less distortion.
Is it JTR or RTJ?
Yes
07:24 Hahahahahahaha got me laughing - blow a window out
night club speaker system for your mansion
Jtr 18" sealed is 3300$, rtj 18" sealed is twice as much basically the same sub in a smaller box,why is it so much more
Valid question. RTJ does have separate more powerful amp and I believe a more rigid enclosure. Also, it's sold through a dealer network as opposed to ID.
RTJ, JTR, I am guessing they are JTR because of the logo in the shirt, but almost everything else says RTJ. Am I missing some in house joke?
JTR is the main brand and its internet direct - so you order directly from Jeff. RTJ is instalator brand - so you need a third party company to sell them to you (which for sure increases the price).
Those speakers might be awesome for an imitation pipe organ.
