I am delighting in the pair of 340M's I received last week for my L/R fronts (to go with the 340C center I've had about a month). I swapped a pair of 170's for the 340M's; liked the 170's very much, but had to try out the 340M's, and did like them better: a 'fuller', more enveloping sound.
I thought I would pass along my experience re a stand for the 340M's. I'm using 30" high stands (the fairly inexpensive black Wood Tech stands from racksand stands.com; their 'decor' blends well with the Ascends) and think that this works better than the shorter, 24", Ascend stands. It puts the tweeter at ~ 41" above the floor, which seems just about ideal. Also having them somewhat higher makes them closer in height to the 340C that is just above the tv (hlp6163). Just my thoughts on this; yours may of course differ.
