You're welcome to still bring the Polks when we do it with the HK. It will just require a bit of a delay to switch.Originally Posted by rollin
Yikes, that's a tall order. I assume you mean on the Ascends? It's almost universally agreed that they shine the most on acoustic guitar, followed closely by female vocals. But, really, anything that's mastered well will sound great with them. Conversely, anything that's mastered/recorded poorly will not be able to hide its flaws. If there's any downside to Ascends, it's that they're like wearing a superhuman hearing aid.
Typically, yes. I have a Dayton 10" (also known as the Tiny Mighty). Fine for HT, not so refined for music. I was in the middle of trying to tame it (i.e. flatten its frequency response) with a combination of the HK's EQ and a Behringer Feedback Destroyer when the volume encoder on the HK went on the fritz. My Denon has a sub pre-out, but no crossover control, so I'm just running 340s in stereo at the moment. When I get the replacement 635, I might take the BFD out of the loop though, to make my life a bit easier ;-)
oh, and I agree with David (Bikeman). 340s will not be overkill for your room, though they do greatly benefit by having some room behind them.
