Thank you for your kind remarks. I'm really enjoying it! May I also compliment you on yours also, it must be a lot of fun owning two systems. They must also bring you a lot of joy.
System edited: So much for the future, well it arrived sooner than expected. I've been seduced by the SET side. I'm liking it very much. The Wavac is all about romance, and the Tonians are engaging, and very musical.
Rien de rien, as she would say! Thank you for the compliments. In the future, I plan to make few changes here and there, but for the time being I'm happy with the results.
I like the layout of your room, and your equipments choices. It looks like a nice place to relax after a day's work.

J'ai souvent visite Montreal surtout pendant les mois de Juillet et d'Août pour le Festival De jazz. Montreal est une tres belle ville et j'espere encore y retourne un de ces jours.
Thank you for the kind words, and may I say your system and room looks mighty impressive. I've had a similar experience with an earlier version too, and I have to admit being smitten ever since.
Given the De Capos performance, moving up the line sure looks tempting. Hoping one day I'll have the opportunity to hear the Grand Veenas.
That's quite a system you have in such a small room. There really is something special about the Reference 3a products. I heard an earlier version of the decapos years ago and was very impressed. I am certainly enjoying my Grand Veenas immensely.
I find that the De Capos do not need wall reinforcement, depending on the room size of course. In my room, they are placed 4' from the front wall and approx. 2' from side walls in order to smooth out bass response, and wall reflections.
I once had a room similar to your dimensions, and ended up with a diagonal position. The results were quite impressive.
Rockadanny, thank you for the kind words they are much appreciated. Much has been changed with the de Capos design since its introduction, and I think having read somewhere as being Mr. Gohka's favorite in the line.
I was introduced to the De Capo's back in 2001/02 and loved them right away. The finish on mind, that is no longer offered, is just lustrous! I find them quite phenomenal, and very revealing to what's feeding them.
Lapierre, thank you for the compliments. They're much appreciated. I've long admired your set up, and love those Mac amps.
The Fila/De Capo combo is indeed special, and I'm quite pleased with the results.
My room is on the small side, 12' X 8', so as you can imagine a near field listening situation is the only solution, and the De Capo's are quite phenomenal at it.
As for room placements, I use the Cardas calculator as a guide and slowly made incremental changes as to get the smoothest tonal balance. So basically, a lot of listening.
As far as HiFi roadmap, I plan on buying more music. So much of it out there!
Well done Toudu. Really impressed with your component selection and accessories.
Always thought ARS~Sonum Filarmonia SE was really good tube amp and matches well with Reference 3A MM DeCapo 92 dB sensitivity. Good to see you have the little details (room treatments, isolators, etc.) in improving your system.
