UPS showed up yesterday afternoon at about 4:20pm!
Initial impression; Quality! From unboxing them to attaching the base to connecting them to my system. My hat is off to Dave, Dina, and the entire team at Ascend Acoustics! I cannot begin to say just how many email exchanges I've had with Dave over the past several weeks! Outstanding Customer Service!
I have been thinking quite a bit about the first record I would play when they arrived. Well; since I have been on a bit of an early rock & rockabilly kick of late, I decided it would be Robert Gordon's "Fresh Fish Special". Particularly, the opening track, "The Way I Walk". Great guitar, strong bass, and that voice! The Sierra's deliver from top to bottom! The RAAL ribbon tweeters provide an amazing mid-high to high end, and spacious sound stage. The mid-woofer (above the tweeter) provides a sound that I'm not accustomed to. More midrange for sure! The dual woofers go fairly deep, and are extremely tight and punchy to my ears. And, I am not running my Mirage subwoofer, and won't with my 2 channel setup. That is now connected via sub cable directly to my Sony ES AVR.
I followed up Robert Gordon with "Pyramid" by The Alan Parsons Project, and the first LP of "The Best of Chris Issak. After the vinyl, I loaded my Oppo, & played some of Chris Rea's, "New Light Through Old Windows. By this time, I was ready for another Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!
Yeah, the Sierra Towers are the last main speakers that I'll own! 🍻
