I just got my pair of HTM-200s today after waiting a week for them to ship to me due to there being a shortage (no surprise there). I hooked them up as replacements for the satellite portion of my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 set (with some Belden 12 AWG speaker cables from Blue Jeans Cable) and I could immediately notice the difference. The midrange seems much more forward, the sound much more neutral, balanced, and less fatigueing. I especially noticed the difference for stringed instruments and drums. They do every genre of music I listen to very well (rock, metal, classical, industrial, etc...). To summarize, I was basically blown away by the difference and I am definitely satisfied by my purchase. Chock one up for Ascend Acoustics! I am going to recommend these speakers to my friends and look forward to exploring the higher end models in the future.
