Hey Peter,

Yes...of course I am reading.

I have now heard both SE models, and hopefully in the next couple of months I will hear a HO(I have heard a prototype).

You know I have done a lot of listening to different speakers and subs over the past few years, and some may think I am biased, but I truly believe that for the best overall sound quality, there is no better value than an Ascend/Hsu combo.
