[Tap tap tap...] Is this thing on?

Good to be up again.

You know what would be a great way to kick off this forum? A new product announcement! I'm dying for a new toy.



Anyone else have trouble logging on with their old username/password? It would not accept my password and I know it was correct. Ended up having to reset it. Oh well.

How about putting the new addy on the note on the old Ascend forum page?

I was about the post a bunch of fluff thinking it would be my only chance to have a higher post count than Curtis but I see our post count followed us. My dream has ended before it even got started. : (

I sent an email to smokey about that already.

I am not sure if passwords got properly imported, but the reset password routine is pretty easy.

Hi Everybody, welcome back! My apologies as well for how long it took, but I think it will be worth it.

You will almost for sure have to reset your password, as importing that is essentially impossible (they would have to be encrypted, which raises all kinds of problems). Otherwise, I hope you are able to get back up and running without too much difficulty. If anyone has a problem, just let Dave or me know.

-Smokey.

WOOHOO!!! It's feels like a reunion with a friend that I haven't seen in 10 years (seems like it anyway)!! Dave F, I'm glad to see the company and forum integrated... I think that decision will be rewarding.

Smokey - David - great job on the new forum!!!! Curtis - thanks very much for keeping me informed and 'in the loop' so to speak on everything happening up to this day!

Looking forward to spending many an evening (and days) perusing and posting here!!

Smokey - a big thankyou for all your efforts in getting this forum up and running again, especially with your new addition that I'm sure has been keeping you busy. Speaking of that - it's time to take my 2 1/2 year old son and my 6 year old 77 lb Airedale out for nice leisurely walk in our 8 degree (celsius) weather with 6 feet of snow on the ground - a glorius day today to be sure!

By the way James and Dave F., is it O.K. if I use a pic of the 340M as my avatar on this site? They say it's sometimes better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, but I still don't wanna get sued.

I'm using a pic of one of my 340's.

Hi all,
New to this forum and just placed my order yesterday. Got the 340's across the front with the stands for the mains and 170's across the back (6.1). Am going to be running them thru my yammie Htr 5560 which, from what I have been reading here, will have to be ugraded. I already own a sub but am sure to be upgrading that as well. I have NEVER bought speakers without auditioning tons of them first but I feel confident that I made the right choice. My original research had led me toward the klipsch synergy and reference lines as well as the polk monitor series. I also demo'ed the yammie 777 and 555. They all sounded decent and of course better than my old sony ht in a box set but I felt i was limiting myself to the mainstream b&m offerings and wanted something more...um...well just something more! Since I bought my new projector and screen back in november (Infocus Screenplay 5000 with a Dalite Contour Electrol 110" remote control screen) I have rarely been seen outside my ht and if these speakers are even CLOSE to what you guys say they are...well I'm gonna just have my meals delivered to me in my ht! I am also looking forward to re-discovering my music collection which has been gathering dust since I started with the ht but I don't think I can stand waiting 12 days for them to get here!

I live on the east coast am am going by info supplied by another poster (not sure who it was) that it took about 12 days from time of order until they came...hope im wrong!

edit...it was kpt krunch's review i think that had 12 days as the time it took from order to delivery
