Wow, what a difference! Especially the photo of them with the stands.

Hmmm...I wonder if David F. could get say, Carmen Diaz to pose in a bikini next to these speakers? Ascend would be backordered for YEARS!!! :D

Hey Jon... did I happen to tell you how absolutely fantastic, phenomenal, outstanding, wonderful, brilliant, unbelievable, splentabulosis, gargantudinal, and really really great these new speakers are? ;) (Push push, nudge nudge)

Oh yeah, and to keep on subject, these new shots are pretty darn good too! Congrats to Dave for getting them up there.

Ha, personally, I would prefer Jessica Alba... :D

Thanks for the nice comments ... I think the pics on the main 340 SE page are too big and need to be shrunk a bit... They are proportional in size to the 170 pics, but I think they look too big. Whatcha think?

The first time I clicked on the page, it worked and I liked the picture but I thought that an expert opinion would help so I asked my wife to comment. When she got to my study, I clicked on the 340SE Main link again and it went to the 340SE Center page. That page had some issues also. Anyone else have this problem?

No problems here.

This is all just too bad. I was really looking for "fantabulative" speakers posed next to Claire Forlani. Or Scarlett Johansen. I guess my search is still on (What search? I just need more paychecks).

Dave - Anyhow, about the 340 main page. I think the size of the 340 shot is very good; I prefer it being proportional to the 170. It gives a much better sense of the size of the speaker and I think it looks better than a smaller shot would. Smaller wouldn't be as impressive or detailed. Now, you have that white space to the lower right side to deal with. I think if you moved the blue "Sig edition shipping" link into that space, centered and broken into two lines, then moved the text below up a notch where the blue text was, it might make the page look more "full."

Also, I think any of the girls mentioned thus far could also fill said white space. Just a thought.

Pegged it Jon. Scarlett.:D

Dave... pic size is just fine, and no problems with the page for me.

Edit... I actually, really like the size of the shot in Curtis' OP.;)

The page works fine now. Maybe 6:30 a.m. right coast time is just too early for wrong coast pages. :rolleyes: ;)

That might be a good idea. Have you ever considered putting the pic of the speakers next to a widely familiar object used as a size reference, like maybe a CD case, a turntable, or a copy of a magazine such as Time or Newsweek? Or a photo of the speakers positioned on both sides of a wide screen TV and/or an AVR?

PS. On second thought, Angelina Jolie would be THE ideal Ascend poster babe. She'd be equally hot in any state of (un)dress, bikinied or otherwise. Plus her first name also begins with "A" ... :D

She'd probably do it in exchange for a pair of 340s I'll bet.

Seems to be working OK for me in Firefox and IE.

My vote is for Scarlett, Angelina.....I think either would do fine....I'm not picky.

I like Dave's idea of Jessica Alba! Kate Bekinsale works too!

Very nice pics. I like the page just the way it is in terms of picture scale.

Considering that most of the buyers here appear to be men and are already convinced about making the purchase, it seems like pictures of men to convince the wives/girlfriends would be more appropriate. :)

If there's a female posing with the speakers, you can say to your significant other: I think they would look even better with you next to them! ;)
