Welcome to the forum!
HI Curt,
I live in Houston area and lokign for demo of Ascend speakers.
Could you let me know if it is possible for you to demo of sepakers?
Regards,
Vamshi
They Sounded very nice. Curt has a nice HT Room Setup for sure with a ton of great content to audition.
Let us know about the Noesis too Curt. Maybe you can get the Sierra-1 on sale on Audiogon for 748 to tide you over. Thanks again for your time and the great Demo's.
That is great. Have you already ordered them?
I will definitely keep you in the loop on the Towers. I am also going to have a JL Audio F113 with them so we shall see. It will not be as fancy as yours because I do not have a dedicated room. My setup is in my Acoustically challenged Livingroom which is open to everything. You will be welcome to come audition as well if you can travel all the way to Plano. lets keep in touch. The Towers are 2 to 3 months back logged per DINA.
I am thinking of returning my wonderful **** in the Bedroom and purchasing a pair of Sierra1's which are available and could serve as my mains in the living room until I get the Towers. I will use them with my Boston PV1000 which should be awesome for the bedroom.
I guess I should have listened to curtis about buying two Rythmiks vs One JL but maybe I will win the lottery and get a 2nd JL.
Let me also say this that those 340's sounded way better than my Infinity CS3008's for which I paid $2,000 a Pair in maybe like the Year 2000 when it was a LOT of Money :-).
The CS3008s have blown 4 inch and 6 inch woofers on each of them and I have not found any way to repair them and now I am hooked on the Ascends thanks to you.
Once you get the towers, you are more than welcome to borrow my UMIK-1 mic and get some measurements of your room. It may help with the placing of your sub and also tell you about any nulls in your room.
would be interested in s A-B test with the towers and the 228's maybe that could be a possibilities this summer.
Yes let's keep in touch.
Certainly would love the A-B test for sure. Make good use of my Suburban to carry the Towers since you have more room. May even bring the JL LOL (probably not it is 130 LBS unpacked).
Thanks for the UMIK offer. I would have to learn how to use it first. My living room is one Gigantic area in the house not sure how well it can be configured with the placement and there is only ONE place to put the Towers and the SUB.
Long Story but that is the only way I can get WAF. Also not have to rewire everything.
You may only have certain spots for your sub and towers but with a measurement you could possible move the listening area forward or back according to how the measurements read. Some times it is just a few inches that would get you out of a room null and improve the quality of your listening. It is up to you but I am willing to help you out.
Thank you again. I will definitely take you up on the offer.
Can never have too much perfection in Audio :-) :-)
