    There's this crazy guy that is obsessed and diseased... Dave's cure for this madman entails the following:

    • linear frequency response
    • horizontal dispersion maintained
    • symmetrical vertical dispersion maintained, but narrowed, resulting in less floor & ceiling bounce
    • lower distortion
    • greatly increased dynamic capability
    • lower intermodulation distortion

    oh yeah, and OUTPUT like WHOA
    ahh.. Looks like a floorstander ...

    C'mon, guys. What gives with the hints? Improved vertical directivity, high dynamics? Let me at 'em.

    What do you think of the sound and how are you powering them?

    I just finished wiring them up and re-calibrated. They still present an 8 ohm load to my NAD M25 after following the diagram Dave provided. So far I've only listened to a few tracks of Norah Jones' SACD, but I am emphatically pleased to report that music has never sounded better in my room. I used to think I knew what 3d, holographic imaging was before. I really can't think of words accurate enough to describe my euphoria. One thing's for sure though - this new setup truly exceeded my expectations.

    Thanks Ascend for indulging my insanity.

    Don't forget the center stack, I didn't feel like taking the grilles off in the middle.
