    Default any professional reviews of the new 340s yet?

    I would love to read some reviews on them. A Audioholics review would be a good read.

    I'm not a huge fan of Audioholics. Something about a review with a link to buy does not sit well with me.

    I like to hear what they have to say, but I take it with multiple grains of salt because of what Curtis mentioned.

    Don't hold your breath for an Audioholics review unless Ascend changes their policy and starts buying advertising. Ever noticed that the products Audioholics reviews that aren't from their advertisers are very inexpensive stuff that is of no threat to any of their advertisers?

    Yeah, I know. And what better way to make money than to do it via something you enjoy.

    That said, I still wish there were more review sites with less dollar-sign bias. That's all.

    The Soundstage online publications I like the best...I think they are less dollar biased.

    Good point, I do enjoy their reviews, and their measurements as well. Thanks for the reminder

    On Audioholics forum, the thread for a CMT-340SE review was taken down. There were a few posts in there that brought to light a possible conflict of interest.

    I would not take reviews on that site too seriously.
