I need some email love

[azanon]

I think it was for previous customers. I got the email, but I purchased speakers from them. I dont have the email in front of me to verify my memory. Did you buy speakers from them?

Here it is:

ok, thanks for the response guys, especially Derek for posting the email.

No, I'm not an owner yet, but should be soon. I don't think I'm interested in doing a whole package, but was interested in knowing what the deal was and how commonly email was used for such communication purposes, i.e., special deals, interesting tidbits, etc.

How does one go about getting on the Ascend emailing list? Does one even exist?

And for that matter, I think it would be more productive for not-yet-owners to receive some notification, either vie email or this website. Existing owners are less likely interested in taking advantage of packages as they already own parts of the package.

[Gregisme]

thanks, clutchbrake. []

Funny thing is...I never got the email.

[Quinn]

Me neither.

I received it, but it shouldn't be posted here, at least not with prices. I'm sure Ascend has an agreement with H/K that they cannot advertise the prices and I think we should respect that. We don't want Harman to be mad at Ascend since not only do they now sell H/K products, but Harman International owns Audax who makes the drivers Ascend uses (at least for a while longer - Audax is getting out of that business).

[curtis]

I think Brad is right....

I edited out the prices. If you want to know the deals, give Ascend a call.
