IMO, these are useless. Differences in speaker placement, microphones, source quality, and that fact that they'll be played back on different speakers means you really have no idea what you'll actually get based on these kinds of things.
Can someone give me a review - maybe some pic of their setup?
I don't own a set of these, but my brother does. He bought these after he heard my Sierra-1s. They are terrific for the price. I think the only thing at a similar price point that are competitive are the Chane A2.4s, but those are sold out right now and have been for a while.
If they're in your budget and work for your space, you probably do.
I have a set of JBL 230's in my cart one Ebay $ 150.00 cheaper too.
They are much better than the JBLs. Don't get me wrong, the JBLs aren't bad, but the Ascends are just on another level.
But before I get those I wanna see what these are about.
Try them! If you don't like them, send them back.
