I love-love my Towers doing rear duties for Hi Rez 5.1 music in all it's flavors SACD, DVD-A, Blu ray -A, even Blu Ray concerts, PURE BLISS , but for movies watching they're are not as engaging for me, which I suspect it might just be position height deal.
I can put some sort of wooden stage ( as they deserve )to get a more envelope thing going, but I'm sure that it will hurt my music listening, and that's something I'm not ready to do.
So I was wondering if there’s any chance we'll see something from Ascend that will be more conducive to flick enveloping speakers. I’m one who believes that any speaker can do both, that being said I just don’t any of us in my dilemma sticking tower a few feet above ear level up on ours walls.
I love the sound of my old Dali WS200 which we’re really Dipole, nor Bipole but they cast a lovely bubble over me and my guest with smooth ambiance never pulling me away from the fronts action.
Would love to see Ascend speaker just for this application and keep it all in the family, as I'm sure they'll sell tons
What do you guys think?
