Anyone have any experience with these particularly the CBM 170's? I took a leap of faith and ordered them. I was interested in Rockets but was informed by my wife that while they are beautiful the rosewood doesn't work with her country red living room. I don't have the patience to wait three months to see what the ebony Rockets will look like and then how ever many more months to actually receive them.

If the Ascends don't work out I'm only out the return shipping.

I presently have a set of Paradigm Atoms which I intend to use as the rear surrounds is this a mistake?

I'll try to post my experience with them next week.

Any break-in advice?
