Ascend 340 review vs Axiom
Hi: I am relatively new to the internet audio companys. I thought I would take the plunge and I ordered some axiom m22s. These are great speakers as many of you know. I however did not care for the upper end and thought the tweeter was a little harsh. Some call it detailed or what have you. I then came onto a forum and suggested the ascends. I dove in and got the 340 set up across the front. The difference was unbelievable. It was just as clear and detailed throughout the volume levels but up top, there was no listening fatigue as I had with the axioms. The 340c really rocks with HT as well. I knowing that maybe the 340s were not a fair matchup with the 22s ordered a set of m50s from axiom. I needless to say have never sent the ascends back. I even ordered 2 sets of the 170's to fill out my 7.1 surround set. I cannot be more happy and satisfied. Their customer service will eagerly answer all your questions without hesitation. I power my ascends with an HK receiver(pre ascends) and fill in the low end with a hsu stf-2.
