Hello from PA

[audiohead]

my Velodyne 12 from 25yrs ago developed a bad hum, i replaced all the caps and worked for 2 days , then developed a new hum..so Good night and RIP .... I became a very happy owner of a Rythmic LV12F and discovered Ascend brand.

I am @ an hour below State College (PSU) and would love to be able to meet up and listen to another members Ascend Acoustics set up. I travel for work, so anybody in Huntingdon,Bedford,Centre,Blair,Cambria,Somerset counties included.

I will be starting a new post when i get pics of my current set up and will be looking for speaker recommendations to upgrade my current set up.

what section should that post be in?

Welcome to the forum. You could post pics / ask for recommendations either here or in the loudspeaker forum.

in some forums (not sure about this one), you need a minimum post count (5?) before other features become available.

measurements are good for the floor. big Question is ribbons or not?
i will be ordering these soon.
ribbons are $700 more ?
for the room?
is it just dispertion?
whats the difference in tweeters?
i see ribbons are faster, lighter....more directional?
soft dome wider?
we love to play the stereo and go to the basement and shoot pool too!
not a recording studio!

I've not heard the nRT tweeters. I believe the soft dome has wider vertical dispersion than the ribbons, but not 100% positive.

The ribbons are magically. Very detailed, smooth, non-fatiguing. Can listen for hours any genre of music - rock, metal, jazz, classical, soul.. couldn't tell you about hip hop/rap/country as don't listen to these.

You may want to call Ascend and chat with Dave or Dina and see what they recommend based on your music preference and listening habits.
