The first time I played a high-end, hand made guitar was in the presence of the man who had made it. I was floored by the sound and the feel and the beauty of it. It was magical. I was so blown away by it that I just kind of stammered and slobbered and asked him what the secret was to making such an amazing instrument. He just looked me straight in the eye (with a bit of pity I think) and said "...there's no secret, just attention to detail".
After spending much of the last 24 hours listening and looking at these speakers (and even the stands for goodness sake), it is really clear that Dave and Dina and everyone else at Ascend Acoustics knows the importance of attention to detail. I feel lucky to be the beneficiary of that wisdom and hard work. Thanks for bringing all that beauty into the world!
