I totally endorse Dave’s point of view on this issue. There are some products that require the personal touch and speakers are one of them. As I had indicated before, Ascend was referred to me by one of the engineers working for a renowned speaker company who was one his way to the far-east to sort out some issues.

I continue to rave every second that I spent with my Ascends despite the logistic nightmare to have the speakers shipped at the way to the Middle East.
