Hi everybody, my name's Leo.
I recently started to upgrade my home sound system to something a little beefier than my 2-ch Sony STRDH130.
At the moment I have:
- A/V receiver Marantz NR-1604
- Amp: Emotiva UPA-2 (2x 125w)
- Sub: SVS SB-2000
- Speakers: Polk audio TSi 400, which I'm looking to upgrade... and that's why I'm here
I've read and heard many good things about Ascend acoustics plus I love the tower looking so I put the Sierra tower (+RAAL) in my shortlist. I still have a couple of questions on this.
1. would my setup, especially my amp, be able to drive those speakers? from what I read there shouldn't be any problem
2. I'd love to be able to audition them, so is there anybody in NorCal (Bay area) who would be willing to help me out with this? Otherwise I could make a trip to SoCal at some point...

Leo
