Welcome to the club Bijan. I have SL3's as well, and am really enjoying them, driven by tubes as well (ARC).

May we have more pictures please - close-ups of the speakers and equipment.

Looks like a well balanced system.

I'm marveling at the ceiling treatment. I'm assuming it's an attempt to make the changes in ceiling plane go away. A well seasoned room.

Thanks Bernard and George,
I appreciate the comments. I will post better pictures. The room plans by Richard Rives initially had the speakers on the long wall and I had reservations but he said it had worked before. I tried it but it just didn't work for me. The SL3's definitely need room to breathe.
I had CAM 350's which were great but became interested in the tubes after trying out a MFA D75. Now hooked on them.

Hey Bijan,

Great looking system. Vinyl and acoustic guitar gotta love that! Is that a Stratocaster hanging on the wall behind the right SL3?

Welcome to the site...

That's my son's Fender Jazz Bass. I still have my Ibanez(early 70's) my Dad got me in 8th grade. Here are some more pics of the room and kit. Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome - nice listening room there.

Thanks Churchill,
Your room is great and clearly dedicated to the pursuit. I have considered adding a sub and it seems very popular among the members. The challenge is to get it right. Did it make a big difference?

amey01, nice room! Classe' makes really nice SS gear. I had CAM 350's and they were sweet.

Hi Bijan,

Beautiful system. You may want to check out a recent post I made in the tweaks section for the SL3.

Had them prior to the Summits.

It's been a work in progress integrating the JL into my 2 channel system. I'm now using an electronic crossover; so I'm not running the Vista's full range, right now I'm crossing over to the sub at 70Hz. The JL is a great sub and really fills out the low end.
