Whats up with the huge delay in updating to SE pics?

thanks. i just photoshopped one to have no logo, and it definitely looks better with a logo than without one. the logo itself could use some work, but that's another discussion.

That logo is actually rather new and was selected by Ascend from customer submissions after the community harassed them about the older 80's metal band style logo. I think the new one is quite nice.

I'd love to see the logos applied as a silk screen on the fabric itself, of course, the price would go up alot doing that.

about the "cube" shape that Eddie mentioned, i've always wondered: is that an intentional design decision relating to the sound quality, or did it just kind of end up that way because of manufacturing considerations, etc.? i mean, are there specific reasons why the speaker is not a more traditional taller and narrower shape? i imagine it's designed that way intentionally, but i just wonder about the technical reasons related to how it affects the sound.

I actually spoke to DaveF about the shape of the 170. He said they tried many different shapes and said "this" one sounded and/or measured the best....right down to the radiused edges.

that's incredible. i assumed it played a part, i just didn't know to what extent.

I'm curious why the 340 has sharp edges...I'm assuming in that configuration there wasn't a difference, or maybe it was a decision for aesthetics because the 340 was originally a center designed to go ontop or below a TV. Hmmm.
