Ascend Acoustics Gap

[jvillas]

With the CMT-340s selling at $568.00pr, and the Sierra-1 going for $798.00pr, my personal desire would be to see the next Ascend loudspeaker to be priced somewhere between these two. As I understand what has been said by Dave is after this initial Sierra production run the selling price of the Sierras may have to
go up. If this were to happen the the gap between these two speakers would be just short of $300.00.

I would love to see at least 1 and if possible 2 additional new loudspeakers offered before the $1,000 barrier is broken.

This is just my opinion and am not in any hurry at all.

If I may add to not short the 170SEs this price gap could possibly be filled by improvements to the 170s and 340s.

These are just some thoughts I'm having today.

i personally think the gap in prices is fine and not doing any harm... the gap i'd like to see filled is that huge emptiness on the subwoofer page

I second that !

A floorstanding speaker based on the 340SE would fit nicely in that price bracket. I've grown fond of bookshelves, but there are many out there that prefer the looks and lower extension of the big cabinets.

IMO, when you get into larger speakers, the shipping costs really bite into the ID value model.
