I'm a brand new Ascend customer and never heard Ascend speakers before. I just ordered a set of Sierra Towers and Horizon center to audition. I'm doing a dedicated theater in a basement that is about 20X20X7.5. It will be 90% movies but the movies I watch tend to be "Indy"-type films with alot of musical content to the soundtrack--think Wes Anderson, Juno, Boogie Nights, Almost Famous to get the idea.

Now I'm starting o have second thoughts and wondering whether the Sierra Towers are too much speaker and/or too refined a speaker for the job I want them to do. Would the 340's be a better choice for this content and room size?

I'll have at least one sub maybe two. Cost isn't really an issue. They'll be likely driven with a Denon 3312 and the rooom will be treated acoustically.

The fronts will likely be hidden behind perf screen/false wall so looks aren't an issue. Also placement may be slightly easier with the 340s as they'll go behind the screen better.

Knowledgable Ascend listeners--what do you think? Thanks.
