We are having Ascend build us a pair of Towers and a Compact Horizon Center. It appears that the Towers come with spikes. Do they also have rubber feet? We have wood flooring.

We are getting a "new" color...Black dyed natural with satin finish. Dave showed a sample to me and my wife. The Bamboo grain will show. Oh Boy!!

Thank You

They come with spikes and discs to set the spikes in for wood/laminate flooring. You could put a thin piece of felt on the bottom of the metal disc for peace of mind. I probably would.

Have any pictures of the new stain? That sounds interesting.

It is really nice, similar to a black ash but with the unique grain and texture of bamboo. Shipping of these new finishes has started today :)

Here are a few quick pictures...

Those are really sharp. I was having a hard time picturing it but those look great!

Thank's Justasheep and Dave. I will probably put on some felt discs. I like to be able to move my speakers in small increments. Spikes on carpet are a bear to dial in position.

Dave---Appreciate the pictures I am enthusiastic about the new speakers.

Those look great!

BTW...I use little furniture slider discs under my speaker stands (bamboo flooring). The stands weigh about 60 lbs. each. Works great.

WOW! As soon as I posted my last reply, I got an E-mail from UPS. The pictures are of my new Towers. I feel almost prescient.

Have to wait a little longer for the Center. My Sierra Center will do til then

OK, I wasn't expecting pictures when I entered this thread. What a pleasant surprise! That's a unique finish and one that demands a closer look. Actually, I think the WAF could be pretty high with this one.

Oh yeah, I like it. :cool:

B: I know you and your wife shall have many hours of enjoyable listening. :D

You know, I was going to mention that in my last post. I was going to make a joke that maybe, just maybe those are your Towers that Dave photographed.

SWEET!! :D

I am pretty much in the Bronze Age regarding piktur takin' and postin'.

I might give it the old college try when all the parts are in place.

We are a small community with a secret. Great sounding speakers for a decent price.

Sort of the Widow's Sons of the Audio World.

LOL, well -- the look is the exact same but the pictures were actually taken using a cabinet we set aside specifically for picture taking. We shipped 3 pairs of this new finish that day :)
