I have'em and love'em! They are very neutral and accurate speakers. They definitely benefit by using a quality sub (such as the LFM-1 or HSU subs). There is a forum run by Ascend owners: www.ascendforum.com. The founder of Ascend, David Fabrikant, can be found lurking around there as well. Great bunch of posters, like here. what is not evident by going to the Ascend Acoustics website is some of the new offerings they have......the new 340 center is also available as L/R mains w/matching stands!
Check it out!
