Sigma...it was not the Athena towers I heard...it was the bookshelves. I heard them at BestBuy, and the conditions were far from ideal.
I just had couple over tonight to hear the Ascends. When they heard the CBM-170s, one of them said "They sound big for their size", and when I played the CMT-340's he said "They sound bigger". They were comparing the speakers to the Energy C-7 and C-9 I believe. Yes...the liked the Ascends, and were going to call Ascend to get pricing.
I have had the M60's in my house, and have heard them a few times at a friend's. In my opinion, the only thing the CMT-340 gives up to it is bass extension...from there on up, I like my speakers better. You will have to do a psych test on me to see how much bias I have.
No worries...I am sure all of us on the forum will help you as much as we can.
