I just received and hooked up my 170 mains and 340 center this past Friday and I am ecstatic. I've been watching several bluray movies and it sounds good. In fact we were watching I am Legend and there is a scene in the beginning where Will Smith is stalking a deer and a lion leaps from the left and gets the deer. The sound of the lion roaring from the left main freaked my dogs out. They both jumped up and started barking. LOL Later we watched Pineapple Express on DTS and the sounds and cheap dreamweaver voices were like everything was in a cave. I think it was the dts because when I switched it to multichannel HD MA it sounded much better. I think I read that these speakers will sound even better after breaking in a little bit, correct? This may have been brought up before but has Ascend thought about selling baseball caps or T-shirts with the Ascend logo? I'd buy one.
