For those worried about giving up your speakers for a while for an upgrade, what about sending your rears in to be upgraded first. When they return, swap them in as your mains and send your mains in to be upgraded. Granted, you'll have to run with a phantom center when your center is upgraded, but you would never be without at least a 2.1 setup. Those with 7.1 could rotate pairs in and still have 5.1 for most of the time (4.1 while the center is upgraded).
I would have to do it in such a way as to NOT be noticable to my spouse! :D
Which means do it all at once.
Lee...won't she notice them being gone for a little while? Depending on how the program works, maybe you could drive down from the central valley and get everything done in day?Quote:

This should give you an idea how long I've been a happy listener. Besides all this, I think I still have the boxes!!!!
Anyways, what I really want to say is: "Count me in for the upgrades." Dave F will get my 340M's while I'll nostagically listen to the 170's up front (they gave me so many hours of pleasure in this capacity) while the 340's becomes SE's. When they come back, he can do the 340MSE's and a 340CSE.
Congratulations to Ascend and their customers!
We in the north will have another reason to stay inside this winter.
Just to clarify... according to an email I received from David, the 170s are upgradeable--i.e. you will be getting the same speakers back, with new insides--while the 340s will have to be traded in for new SE models.Quote:

Although I would love to have a pair with a piano black finish or a beautiful wood veneer, it is after all the sound reproduction I enjoy.
I'm so bummed.
I've waiting to buy speakers for a year and a half, finally pulled the trigger on 170/340c/200 system on the 22nd, and now I read about better new ones coming out soon.
I haven't ever received my order yet. It's scheduled to arrive next week.
Hopefully the new ones will be twice the price so I couldn't have gotten them anyway.. :)
