    My reasoning would be the opposite on this; I wouldn't think someone buying Ascends wouldn't be looking for sound best described as (just) "adequate". Someone wanting just adequate goes to Best Buy to buy KLH's on sale.

    Also, not everyone has Sierra's. As much as I practically adore my 340SE's, there is no question (to me, anyway) that they need some help on the bass; including on music. But 340SE + an HSU sub? Music bliss!

    You must have not interpreted my post correctly. I did say "more than adequate", not "just adequate".

    I am extremely impressed with the bass response of my Sierra-1's. Moreso than the full sized Boston's that I was previously using. Do the Sierra-1's knock paintings down in other rooms? No. Do the Sierra-1's represent an extremely natural and pleasing sound to me without a sub? Definitely.

    I don't think it's at all unreasonable for someone to run Sierra-1's without a sub. I think it is very unreasonable to assume that someone who is should be using a budget brand.
