Can anyone comment on the difference between black bamboo and black matte? Looking at a set of NRT towers. Thanks!

They are purely custom drivers made for Ascend by different OEMs. Dave couldn't find drivers that met his specifications at the time or close to it (to start customizing), and worked with the OEM on entirely new drivers. I believe the woofer is collaboration of more than one OEM (they look like the woofer on the Sierra 1, but they are different), not sure about the mid.

Right there with you. Watching Hitman and Oblivion last night and I couldn't help but marvel (over a year after purchase) at the bass and mid of the towers and Horizon.
I can't imagine wanting to ever "upgrade" from these speakers!
You all are absolutely right. I have been cured of upgrade fever. I love these speakers and the clarity. I only regret I didn't have them years ago.
I was out of town last week and the father in-law came over to visit while I was away. He of course wanted to know why I needed new speakers when I already had three pairs of axioms lol To be fair the axioms with my emotiva gear was probably the best setup he has ever heard. Anyway I gotta love my wife when he asked she just turned it on for him, his response was "Oh"
