The dining room during the day is the dining room/stereo room. The kids can access the iPad and stereo.
The Ascend CBM-170 SEs are assigned to everyday stereo duty with an old Velodyne F-1500 on sub duty.
For movie night, one of the CBMs is moved to the rail on the right and connected to surround speaker wiring. The L and R surrounds can be moved anywhere along the rails for optimum positioning depending on how many rows of people are watching the movie.
4 ceiling acoustic panels usually stay up but can easily be removed in about 5 minutes, leaving only the hooks in the ceiling (2 per panel).

Then for movie nights, it transforms into the home theater. 120" screen, BenQ W1070 3D, Ascend Acoustics (Sierra front-stage and CBM-170/HTM-200 surrounds) all the way around 7.1, over 900 watts of Outlaw amplifier and dual Rythmik F12 subs. Also up to 20 acoustic absorption panels, depending on how loud it's going to be. Takes 45-60 minutes to set it all up.
Sierra Tower mains and Sierra Horizon RAAL center (kinda hard to see as they also have black fabric shrouds on their tops to further reduce light reflections). HTM-200s are ceiling mounted just behind where I took the picture from.

The Ascends can REALLY rock with all the sound treatment in place - otherwise the sound just turns to mush if it's turned up very much.
Wow is right! That is really cool!!!
Re: Ascend Owners Photo Gallery
Thank you for posting these stunning pictures. In fact, I've even visited your youtube video of Duende, which is stunning. Thank you kindly for that. I've just started the process of building my own small 2.0/2.1 system with the Towers as my focal point. I wanted to know the brand of risers you are using? They seem ideal for someone with hw flooring. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Thank you and take care.
