:D
O.k guys, here is my system as it is set up in my living room. My SDA-1c's have been completed as far as the cosmetic/mechanical restoration is concerned. I do plan on upgrading my crossovers and tweets eventually but for now this is it... let me know what you guys think and what upgrades would be best for my room size of 18x15...

thanks for looking!
John

    When you are doing your 2 channel listening you may want to use the chair in the corner. You should be about 8 feet back guessing from the pics.

    Very nice...I'm gonna go with everyone else in saying get that chair out of there. That's killing your sound.

    Looks very nice though...cabinets look great. Looks like you did a good job on the restoration.

    i did, even thought of covering the cloth portions of them in black leather, but decided to go with the srs look as it seemed more contemporary

    Looks great John,

    I also like that fireplace. We have one but the room is so tiny that I can't put an entertainment system in there, alas. Just two bookshelves and a CD changer. Read the Newpaper there. Love the SPEAKERS!!!

    Enjoy....

    How is it watching that TV? It seems like it would put a crick in my neck, but maybe you site far enough back that it doesn't matter?

    thanks for the kind words guys. I need to update this a bit though as I have added my Sunfire and a set of LSi15's since the pictures were taken.
