Hi Dan, Yes, I have isolated the speakers on CSR 3s to great effect. I've actually tried isolating both the crossovers and the speakers. I've taken notes for my final thoughts video.🎧🙂👍

I’m planning on isolating my JR150 monitors with a set of 3 CSA 1’s per channel. That’s one reason why I needed to plug in another order for those with Josh.

@dragocelander6671 Excellent Dan, I'll be talking about what happened when I put the CSA 3s underneath the Klein's in my final thoughts video. I'll also be interested in how you find them when you do the same.🎧🙂👍

@ Shane, it’s been on my to do list for quite a while. Nobody really using the CSA units under monitors where it’s impractical to use the bigger AUVA units dedicated to floor-standing speakers.

@dragocelander6671 Yes, I agree, Dan. I will be talking to the boys in an interview coming up soon on a collaboration I'm starting with Vinyl latte. Louis and I will be starting a series interviewing industry heavyweights around the world in specific areas audiophiles need to consider a little more than they do. It should be an interesting series, hopefully with some great information for everybody interested in the hobby. I will be asking the boys about using Auva CSA's under small monitors like I'm doing with these right now.🎧🙂👍

Yes, you make some good points there, and I will be talking about some of those in my final thoughts video.🎧🙂👍

Hi there, yes, I did notice that little raffle it was the right-hand binding post that was screwed all the way out and was rattling when I wound it back in it was fine. By the way, well observed.🎧🙂👍

In what way?

I sit just outside of near-field. My background is as a sound engineer, and so I am very comfortable in that position. I have almost a totally flat response from 20 to 20,000 Khz, so I would hardly call this an acoustically bad room mate.

@@shanestephenson8423 dude that might be true but your listing position is at the back wall , 3 meters from the Wilson’s , don’t get me wrong you have awesome gear but let’s be honest it would sound even better in 20 by 15 room , so the speakers can breath!

@@Simplyveej , how about only being 3 meters away from the Wilson speakers and couch against the wall , those speakers need at least a 15 by 18 foot room .

@StuartKarlson-qn8pj Incorrect. When reviewing equipment and listening to high-end gear, the last thing you want to do, which is just about everybody does, is put that equipment in a large room. There are so many issues that come every time with rooms like that. For instance, room modes and acoustic anomalies which are just so difficult to get right. I have yet to hear a big room that I like the sound of. Why do you think sound engineers listen in the near field. I listen to high-end gear in an almost flat room, just outside of the near field. If you do that, then you will really hear what the equipment can do as long as the room is well treated acoustically. Because by setting closer to the speakers, you take the room out of the equation, which is always the biggest downfall to listening to sound pressure in an enclosed space. This whole thing about letting speakers breathe is laughable imo because it generally creates more problems than it fixes. I've had 35 years of experience in high-end audio, both as an engineer, selling the stuff and reviewing and listening to high-end gear. Everybody that comes into my room and listens to my system is dumbfounded at just how the room is not there, they cannot hear the boundaries. That is due to correct room setup, correct acoustic treatment, and as far as I'm concerned, not listening to what the majority of so-called experts say is the correct way to set a room up.

@VinylLatte Thanks, mate. I'm writing notes feverishly😁

I'm pleased you're enjoying it👍🎧🙂🙏

@@dalian1993 I agree. A work of musical genius.

@@blacknad So pleased you love this masterpiece like I do. 38 years on,it still moves me immeasurably every time I listen to it.

@martinreynolds7025 True Martin, I've got a couple of sets of pure silver cables, and I love them.😍 As you would know, there is silver, and there is silver.🎧🙂👍

You're welcome, mate. Stay tuned for the final thoughts video. I think that will only focus your intent further.🎧🙂👍

Yeah, me too, mate. There's a sense of real coherency from a well designed two-way.🎧🙂

@carminedesanto6746 Thanks, Carmine 🙏 I guess what I like about my room is it is a truth telling environment if something doesn't sound good it's quite easy to hear it because there's no room modest or interference that get in the way or smear what's actually coming out of the speakers which makes my job as a reviewer a lot easier. These little desktop monitors are something very special. I think it's translating across in the videos. I'll have a lot more to say about why that is in my final thoughts video.👍🎧🙂

Awesome, man. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's another track from that album I've released as well.👍🎧🙂

@staceymangham Hi Stacey, I agree with all of your comments about. I'll have much more to say about all of this in my final thoughts video. 🎧👍🙂

Indeed, “no stone left unturned.” 😂

@Phloored yeah typical Fischer & Fischer sound profile very smooth sounding and non fatiguing. I'm using my Rotel Mitch rhb 10 power amp with the mpd-8 as the preamp.👍🎧

@staceymangham Hi Stacey, correct no subwoofer in play at this stage, just those two speakers. And yes, they are definitely improved by being back close to the front wall, and the Stack Audio Auva eqs have made a real difference to the way they sound. I'll have more to say about that in my final thoughts video.👍🎧

Excellent album.

@weust2672 Yeah, I agree it's one of my reference albums it's just a beautifully natural recording.🙂👍🎧

@@shanestephenson8423 absolutely. I also see I commented under someone else's. Didn't mean to do that.

@@weust2672 all good 👍🙂

@staceymangham Yeah mate, I'm quite blown away. I'll have a lot more to say in my final thoughts video, but it's safe to say it's going to be very favourable.🎧🙂👍

@@randyallen4959 cool👍

@staceymangham Yeah, Stacey jaw-dropping in the word🎧👍

@Simplyveej They are very good, but we must remember they are desktop monitors they can't produce the bass the Wilsons make. They really are totally different speakers.

@Kinsella3 Gi there, yes, they sound amazing in my room as well. They have no right to sound as good as they do they literally are tiny desktop speakers with a 3 1/2 inch mid bass driver.👍🎧

Hi Dan, I've changed the position just for some experimenting, and having them backed into the front wall, I'm seeing 60 HZ flat comfortably. Which is bonkers for these little speakers. I hope it's translating, because they sound very good in this room. 🎧👍

@dragocelander6671 I'm just running some experiments.

@@rochellecaffee1417 it's my pleasure. Thanks for listening.🙏🙏🙏

@johnharrigan8770 Hi John, I'm just experimenting so I can come up with an answer for that question.

@jolonf lol😂 I was just thinking, where am I going to put these speakers in this room where I know they'll work. So that's where they ended up. They are essentially sitting on slabs of resin with Stack Audio Auva 100s underneath them. They should be pretty well isolated😁🎧👍

Thank you. Yes, noted. The text autocorrected without me noticing before I posted it. The only way to fix it is to pull the video down and edit everything and re-launch the video.👍

Yes, totally passive with separate crossover networks, simply because they couldn't fit them in such a small cabinet. These things are really mind-boggling. I'm using my Rotel Michi Poweramp with the playback designs mpd-8 as the preamp. 🎧👍

@@shanestephenson8423 -awesome!

Yes, it's hard to believe that that is their entry level. But it must be said there are amazing electronics behind those speakers, and they're in a well treated acoustically neutral room, so we are hearing them at their best, but their best is nothing short of amazing.🎧👍

Yes, Dan, correct that was all you were listening to in the room.

Hi John, no, just those little speakers that was it. absolutely amazing.👍🎧👌

Sure is @@shanestephenson8423

Yeah, it's amazingly dynamic and just an excellent pressing.🎧🙂👍

@705johnnyboy lol, that's cool. It sounds like you're happy with your speakers. These are quite amazing in relation to just how much sound comes out of such a tiny little desktop speaker. I couldn't say no when they were offered to me for review.👍🙂🎧

@staceymangham Hi Stacey, yes, you're quite correct about all of your above comments around the subwoofer settings. Plus, I'm just reviewing these speakers, so what you're hearing is them and only them. But I think I will have a fiddle and integrate the sub just to be able to talk about that as an option for people in my final thoughts video.👌🎧👍🙂

@paulhallford1904 Thanks, Paul.🙏🎧👍🙂

You're welcome 😁

And please don't forget to wrap up warm, boots padded jacket and scalf, don't want you to get cold this time of year 😋😋😋😋🤣🤣🤣🤣

@mingfeipan8692 Hi, Sorry I'm not in front of my tablet to see it on Roon. If you have Shazam, you will see it come up there.👍🎧

Schack Matt by Riltons Vanner 😊

@carminedesanto6746 Thanks, Carmine 🙏🙏🙏

She sings in Swedish!

@weust2672 Hi, without the sub. Just those little speakers.

@TonyMartello lol, yeah Tony, I thought I'd pull the old girl out even though it's got all new insides in it pretty much, and it sounded wonderful once it warmed up. Yeah, it's an unbelievable big sound from such a small little desktop speaker.👌🎧👍

@VinylLatte Yeah, that harmonica is crazy good. It just leaps out in front of you.🎧🙂

@ericelmore887 Hi Eric, out of the two you mentioned, they're both quite close, but I would say I'm settling with Stack Audio. I think it's made a slightly bigger difference.👌👍

@toddt5562 You're very welcome. There'll be more to say about the Serene stabiliser very soon. I'm putting it through its paces as we speak.🎧😁👍

Thanks Dan great comments there.👌

Yeah, amazing Dynamics on this track.👍🎧
