Hello,
I'm a new member from Knoxville, TN, and also new to quality audio. I set up my first stereo listening room 18 months ago in a small spare bedroom. I only wish I had learned about Ascend before I bought speakers for that setup!
This is a great forum. I have scanned many of the threads and read the entire Tower thread - whew! Huge thanks to the members and to Dave for posting so much helpful information!! I can tell from Dave's thoughtful replies that he is passionate about his products, a person of integrity, and has a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed reading the back and forth between Dave and members as he teasingly leaked little bits of info about the upcoming Sierra-2. Even I can't stand the suspense!
Now I definitely need to upgrade the 5.1 system in my living room and have decided on Sierra Towers and Horizon Center with RAAL for the front. I haven't decided on surrounds or sub yet.
Anyway, I will be contacting Ascend directly this week, but I just wanted you all to know what a great atmosphere you have created with this forum. It's very refreshing to find such a cooperative environment where people can freely give and receive advice without the hostility found on many audiophile forums.
I can't wait to hear those Towers!!
