I am from the Bay Area, and got into quality sound systems a few months ago with SVS. Currently I have an SVS setup - bookshelf, center channel and satellites from the Prime series, with a SB12-NSD sub. However, my cousin purchased Ascend CMT-340SE and CBM-170SE on the secondary market that got me curious, and I was thoroughly impressed with their sound. And now I have a full Ascend system (CMT-340SE mains, center) and HTM-200SE on my way! Plan is to replace SVS with Ascends, and move SVS to bedroom duty.

Hope to interact with fellow sound enthusiasts on this forum. Thanks.
