Any updated timeline for their release?

I do a lot of business travel. For a couple of years, I've been using a pair of UE Mini's (with and without wires) to bring some decent sounding music to my hotel room. However, the total lack of bottom end leaves me wanting more. I'm shopping for a new solution. These speakers are going to...

This looks great, and I may buy it for other uses. This one has the battery instead of powered by AC. My sense is that the amp design and speakers need to be battery friendly in such a design. It might be fine for my application, I might give it a try.

Yamaha looks nice, but have no need for the CD player. Like I mentioned just above, I'd rather not pay for things I won't use, but will if it still provides the best value for speakers and amp.

Thanks for these ideas. I really like the idea of the Cambridge SoundWorks. Love direct mail audio products, and it seems to have the specs I need. However, I just have read lots of unhappy customers, not with the sound, but with the reliability. (What is the collective wisdom of audioholics...

I need a small system to be used in my bedroom or office. Stereo separation is not necessary. I'm not looking for sound-stage or super high-fidelity. I have other rooms in the house for that. But it should sound good. I thought I had a winner in the new Sola from Parts Express, a ported...

I haven't ruled out the E60s, but didn't add them to the short list because: 1. Very expensive compared to the others under consideration; would be more likely to increase the budget if I was dissatisfied with some of the others being discussed. 2. Twenty years ago (when I bought my...

I recently flipped through the (pre-word-processing, typed) Snell manual, and I am pretty sure they do have the Vifa soft dome tweets. Didn't realize there were different flavors of dome tweeters; thanks for the education! Yes, I do really like the Snell JIII high end, and would be happy to...

You may want to point out more visibly that these are the *Absolute*, not Super, Zeros. I misread this, and maybe others might as well.

First, thanks to all! So, I've made a couple of replies to this post, but none have shown up. It says something about needing Mods approval. Perhaps because they included URLs? I apologize if you see duplicate posts. I will try to clean this all up once the Mod approves my earlier...

[I thought I posted a reply, but don't see it. I'll repost now, and delete if this is a double post] I actually have a pair of NHT superones, and my brother-in-law can lend me his pair of superzeros. Those will be auditioned along side the Ascends or others recommended here. These have...

I should have mentioned that I already have a pair of the older version of the NHT superones, and my brother-in-law has a pair of superzeros. Those will also be compared to whatever I audition. For reasons of WAF, I need to have these sit on a fireplace hearth which is 9" deep. Please don't...

These two speakers will be the mains. I haven't chosen a subwoofer yet, but will likely get a sealed SVS. So, this will be a 2.1 system. No need to consider blending with other speakers in the room. I note that, according to Ascend, they were specifically designed to be cross-overed at 80 Hz.

I am looking for a pair of smaller bookshelf speakers that will be placed close to the wall (so no rear porting). These will go on either side of a wall mounted TV in a family room. Here are two strong contenders. Ascend HTM-200 SE Behringer Truth B2030P I have not heard either...

Diy I'm not completely opposed to DIY, and would be potentially go that route with a sub kit (any recommendations?). However, I have no time or talent to build cabinets. If there was a kit that was as simple as building the cross-over and hooking and screwing things together, I may be...

No, I did not say the speaker only needed to be <=9" deep. I said that they had to sit on a 9" hearth. That means a sealed speaker that is 9", or a ported speaker that its [depth] + [breathing room for the port] <= 9". How well will the E60s do with 5/16" of breathing room? How does the...

Too deep, and not available. Perhaps the E40s?

Again, thanks for everyone's help. I really appreciate it! To be clear, I will build an AV room in the basement, ideally within 12 months. I've shown my wife the setup of TLS Guy so she knows what to expect. ;-) So, the goal here is not to make an optimal setup, but to create one that is...

I note that you do not include my original speakers, namely the NHT superzeros, or a svs sealed subwoofer. Do you think your suggestions are superior, or did you just not duplicate what I had written?

Above the fireplace So, here is a picture of the room (we don't yet own the house, so sadly, the beautiful pictured furniture belongs to the seller, and isn't staying) dl.dropbox.com/u/5722618/familyroom.JPG As you can see, the options are above the fireplace, or in the corner. I have...
