New Ascends Arrival/CBM-170

[BGHD]

I'd say, go w/ 340C SE if budget/space permits. The 340C classic's already great for HT & music for me, I'd imagine the SE's worth it too. When inquiring about what to get for my system a while back, getting the 340C over the 170 was one of the "without-a-doubt" choices from the Ascend guys. Of course, you might think they'd say that because it means more $ in their coffers. But, they didn't push the bigger/better options in the rest of my system, so I think they make very honest recommendations.
