Thoughts on newly arrived Sierra-1 pair

[omegacentrix]

Mr. Fabrikant and the team at Ascend,

I have to tip my hat to you - the Sierra-1s are remarkable in every aspect, from the moment I unpacked the box and marveled at the fit and finish to the moment I put them atop my speaker stands and started playing music through them. Everything is there - detail, clarity, bass, midrange, crystal clear highs. A sax sounds like a sax, a drum kicks appropriately, an upright bass sounds like it's IN my room. Vocals are superb and imaging is outstanding. The Sierra handles everything with equal aplomb - classical, jazz, rock, vocals, movie soundtracks. They sound big, the rendition carries heft that you wouldn't expect from a pair of bookshelf speakers. They're awesome - and I don't say that lightly. Also, your customer service and professionalism are top notch - you have been most accommodating and responsive. This whole experience has made me a huge Ascend fan!

Warm regards,
Dave
