Probably a wise choice, although the midrange in the 3a's with the Accuton is on at least the same level as the Ascends. I find the bass on the Ascends to be quicker and play just as low as the Salks. My theater has a full Ascend system with the Horizon center and 4 Luna surrounds. The room is...

Don't post here often, but I'm watching this thread. I have both Ascend RAAL Towers (theater) and Salk Song 3A (2 channel). If I were to keep one based on performance it would be the Ascends. But they are different in very different rooms. My wife wouldn't have the Ascends in the living...

Yes, I got it set up Wednesday night. So far so good. Detail, resolution, and clarity are outstanding. Only thing that I have heard that compares is the big Martin Logan center, but this has more midrange and bass. I will admit though, I have not heard a lot of center channels to compare...

I think you'll get honest answers from Dave at Ascend, Jim Salk, or Dennis Murphy at Philharmonic. They all make great use of the RAAL tweeter. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these companies. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I like them very much. What I'm really looking forward to is the Horizon center which is arriving on Wednesday. Contact Dave at Ascend, or check the Ascend forums, lots of info there. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I have the Song3-a and just got the Ascend RAAL towers for my theater. They are both really nice, but a little different. I haven't compared them side by side, nor do I plan to. I wanted a 3 way RAAL speaker in my theater, the Salk's were too big. If you're going to order the Salk's, the...

The e5ti's are a steal at that price, and the bonus is you'll have plenty of money leftover and so you can grab the e56ci center channel and still be within your budget. I bought the e5ti's when they first came out and they are currently my mains, I have been pleased with them overall, but I...

Upgrading to the e56ci from the e5ci is probably the biggest upgrade I have made in my home theater in a long time. At the Black Friday price I am more than pleased.

I still have a pair of LS420's in the garage from my college days that I hook up from time to time. They still sound great and bring back a lot of memories.

I have 3 sets that I am not using because of lack of space, one is a pair of ADS L420's that I bought in college in the early 80's and were my first "real" speakers. I also have a pair of JBL L166 Horizons that can really rock the house. Just the other day I also broke down a second system...

This is probably one of my first posts here, although I have been lurking for years. I received my set of towers and a center channel on Tuesday Morning and really haven't had much time to spend with them, although I did hook them up right away. I have been currently listening to HTD...

I currently own a Optoma HD70 (720p) which was an upgrade about 6 months ago from a H31 (480p) projector. Although I am quite happy with my current model, especially when you consider the "bang for the buck" value of the HD70, I am planning on upgrading to a 1080p unit as soon as the DLP's are...

Contest Questions: 1. What size subwoofer is most appealing to you? 8”, 10”, 12” or ?? I tend to like the 10" size because a quaity unit is fast enough for music and can also be powerful enough for home theater applications.[/B] 2. Do you prefer single our dual driver design, either active...

I currently use 2 separate Powervar conditioners, one for analogue and one for digital components. I use a couple inexpensive strips off them if I have to but I feel the Powervar units give me great protection for the dollars spent. I also use a AR Strip that supposedly conditions on the other...

I am partial to any of the natural woods and especially like a hand rubbed finish with a light stain, or none, that brings out the natural grain in the wood.

Accuracy and good bass at low volume levels works best for me, most of my home theater time is in the evening when others are sleeping, also, I feel the test of a great system is how well it reproduces effects at low volume, sometimes the high power amps can make up for a lower quality driver.

For me, price and connectivity would be the most important issues here. Most of the DVI splitters now are cost prohibitive which makes it difficult if you use multiple displays or sources on a regular basis such as a crt television and a home theater projector in the same room
