Ok well maybe the AVR-1805 isn't exactly a mid-fi receiver. More like a lo-fi receiver knocking on the door to the mid-fi clubhouse trying to get in. But at least its trying!
socialxray said:I can confirm that the SL3s are fairly easy to drive with a mid-fi receiver (Denon AVR-1805). I can get all the way to -14 on the volumn control with the most demanding recordings and higher on less demanding recordings before I can sense the music getting harsh, congested, strained.
On music that is mixed to go loud (Beastie Boys - To The 5 Burroughs) I can get to +4 (or maybe even higher).
Either way it is plenty loud for me in my room. That is until I get better equipment. Shhh! Don't tell the wife. Hehe.
(Damn, there I go again, showing my mid-fi roots.)

Jeff Zaret said:My room is approximately 14x22 feet and I have my setup lengthwise. THe backend of my room is open to the kitchen. I guess we all have to make sacrifices. I would seriously think about the CLS's and how they fit in to your lifestyle. They are amazing speakers but if you listen to a lot of Ozzy, Weezer, Lincon Park, etc, they may not be for you.
