Well, I think I'll resist that urge too. My $6/month flip phone from Tracfone still gets the job done (ie, I hardly ever use it). I've resisted the entire cell phone industry as much as I can, which is funny considering I used to work for a company that designed them [I worked in a different division].
Ok you guys have persuaded me back to the Ascend acoustics camp. Can you but 3 Sierra 2s horizontal version, not the actual center version? That's what I'm gonna start with, then most likely 2 Luna's for surrounds down the line. If things like to the way I think they will I will making my first purchase or order in January or February. Oh I have a really nice Parasound 5 channel amp, 140 watts of pure power, conservatively rated. Plenty to drive these speakers correct? Are they power hungry?
I'm sorry that should have been vertical, upright the way the speaker was designed. I apologize for that. I am 11 feet or so from my LCR. Thanks again Dave. Man I hope things fall into place and I can order these in January or February. 3 Vertical Sierra 2's for LCR. Then down the line I think Luna's for surrounds. That's gotta sound sick!
Ya know I'm very disappointed in myself for not finding Ascend acoustics before I put my latest HT together. The more I read about the CMT-340s the more I wish I made them my HT. And it would have been less money. The CMT-340s I would bet are far and away better than the SM 65s I have right now. The way owners describe them is pretty incredible. I could have used these as a stepping stone to the higher end Ascend speakers like Sierra 2s and Luna's. You live and you learn I guess.
I think this may be the thread Mike was referencing: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-spe...zon-tower.html.
FWIW, I was considering PSA towers & center before I purchased Sierra Towers & Horizon w/RAAL. I never listened to the PSAs, but I couldn't be happier than I am with the Ascends.
Good like with your decision.
