    Hi James,

    Please, call me Dave or David. Mr Fabrikant is too impersonal.

    >I recently read in one of your threads that you and your wife were enjoying the new 340c in your home theater. I don't find that hard to believe but it did make me wonder... What else are you listening to?

    Speaker wise? Believe it or not.. nothing but Ascends. Sure, I have loads of different loudspeakers but Barney, The Wiggles, and Bear and the Big Blue House videos all sound the same to me regardless of what loudspeakers I have connected. With a 2-year old running all over the place, I seldom get to enjoy more than a 15 minute listening session. If he does manage to fall asleep early, I am usually far too tired to swap out whatever loudspeakers are hooked up in order to listen to something else.

    It is a rare occasion when I can watch an entire movie, disturbance free and at a volume level that does the sound system justice. When we watched SWAT, the dialogue reproduction and dynamics of the 340 center really stuck with me and I found it refreshing that I can still be impressed or "wowed" by a loudspeaker after almost 20 years in this industry.

    >Can you recomend any good audio books. I'd like to further my understanding of reproducing sound.

    Certainly; one of the very best is Vance Dickason's "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook". This book will keep you busy for years...



    Good Sound To You!

    DaveF- Listening to my daughter's shows is one of the best things of the Ascends. I don't get fatigued, from sound anyway.

    The last pair(well the old 170CC mated with a new 170 with the 340CC for me) I got from you guys went in the kids playroom so they hear real music and not just their $50 CD boom boxes. Now I've got to slice $300 out of the budget to play with one of the Panny digitals and see if it is all that.

    Hey Curtis, I think checking out the Panny digitals is the perfect thing for you.

    The 340c is my favorite too Dave, as you may have already read. My time to listen to music is when i get home from work an hr before my wife does. I usually have my 5 month old in my hands, and i listen to several CD's in DPLII mode so i can hear the 340c go to town. Josh Groban + 340C = bliss!

    Hope i'm not hurting his little ears playing my system (im reasonable, i think). :-( Hard to know for sure if their little ears are more sensitive to damage than mine.
