    I agree with getting a good sub but I'll take a pair of 170s over blose any and everyday.

    I'll keep my distance from companies that "Hard-sell" there products through numerous magazine and TV campaigning. Somebody has to pick up the advertising costs, and it is usually the consumer. **** has a great marketing dept. and knows how to make a HUGE profit on cheap products. Oh, and I forgot about their **** stores where you cannot compare their products directly to other, less expensive brands. Also more overhead.

    Azanon....are you sure about those frequencies? I think you are talking above 100hz.

    You should compare voices/midrange on the Ascends vs ****.

    "Azanon....are you sure about those frequencies? I think you are talking above 100hz."

    Yes, i've heard the test disk that Dr. Hsu sent me that identifies the frequency with a respective test tone. Remember, its the 20-70hz range that people pay hundreds, if not thousands for, to have produced by their main speakers as opposed to a sub. Clearly, given that, i'm not the only one that recognizes the importance of this frequency range.

    Just emphasizing a point as to show my conviction; a home theatre with no real bass is not a home theatre. Boss may leave a hole in the midrange, but i promise you, you'd miss the bass more. I like action movies, explosions, etc. Boom!

    People joke that speakers that have no highs or lows are ****. Remember, **** bass modules go lower than ascends, so..... where does that say about Ascends? I think its obvious; they need a sub.

    If you really want to feel the impact a lot of action movies have today, you are still going to need a sub with any system **** makes.

    Umm, they dont make a system without one. Granted, they call it a bass module. Still, as ive implied once, reduced bass ability (46hz), less power than a real sub, still beats no sub.... naturally.

    I'm not avocating buying **** here, lol. I'd no more have a **** system than i would a set of mains that cant do below 69hz without a sub. Both are unacceptable.
