New to me M5jr S2s
The 4th pair of speakers I've added to my collection this last week lol!
These nice condition little monitor 5s were a pure impulse buy, add came up on FB and it was inline from my wife's work back home.
I had her pick them up and now i have to figure out another system haha! I ran out of amps/sources 2 pairs back, I may try a modern all in one class D setup with this pair and see how it goes.
Upgrades wise I'm going to do the standard cabinet mods, throw two SL3000s in from the 1.2TLs when their 198s get here, and I may upgrade the crossovers myself with reasonable parts pending if I like how they sound.
Setup I had in mind was a semi near field in a room with 6-10 feet away from all walls and 20+ foot ceiling. Something different basically.....

Re: SDA CRS+ Crossover recap
You are welcome.
Additional tips for SDA speakers:
5 to 6 inches off the wall. Half an inch will make or break the results of the bass performance.
6 to 8 feet apart.
At least 3 feet from a side wall.
Again, no toe in.
Other performance enhancements for your situation:
Stands should be mass loaded.
Stands should be on spikes.
Speakers should be isolated from the stand. Rubber pads work well.
One more thing, no speaker behind another speaker. 😎

Re: Power Conditioner recommendations...
Well I'm listening guys, more information please.
The PS Audio P1000 does exactly that, conversion/regeneration. It has a large toroidal transformer, no idea what the kva of the TX is but, I can attest it's one heavy sum B... the unit's close to 100 lbs?
The P1000 converts incoming AC from the wall, converts the AC to DC then DC to AC.
Have a question....
Where a Transformer is concerned there is a physical gap. How can the nasty's jump that gap and pass the noise from the power input on the power conversion/regeneration of the P1000?
That noise must pass through the air gap of the two coils.
The P1000 is not a filtering device except for one pass through outlet, for amps, that doesn't limit current. It is just a filtered outlet. All the other outlets run through an internal transformer.
All the rest go through the transformer for regeneration. No direct connection except the air between the coils of the internal transformer.
The Shanyata Power Conditioners are fancy filtering/surge protection pieces as are most all others..... unless, they make ones with an internal transformer.
Do any of the Shunyata's have the ability to do voltage regulation/correction/adjustments?
I know Furman has a couple in their higher end models.
Do the Richard Gray units have the ability to regulation/correct/adjust voltage?
Are there any other manufacturers that have output wave form adjustments like the older PS Audio PowerPlants?
I'm not familiar with any of the other manufacturers I listed except for small reading snipets.

Wow .. that made everything sound bigger 😂
@F1nut thanks for pointing that out .. I didn’t know and it does make a big difference.
These are a lot of fun so far.
