SVS or AV123?

du what!!!! it's just so hard without hearing any of them, and having to pay shipping if I don't like them and have to return them, except maybe the Aperions. so, i guess you like the Ascends the best. I hear they have a very neutral sound. Some call them base shy b/c they don't have that mid-range hump like some other speakers do. But they are more accurate then some others. But some like that particular sound, even if it is slightly colored.

You need to stop reading now because I can tell your totally getting to much information and you have no clue what to do now. The Ascends are NOT colored.

ORDER the ASCENDS!!!

IF not ORDER the USHERS!!!

PM me your credit card information I will do it if you can't. ORDER BOTH.

OK Mazer... I know....I know. You're right. I have been a little obsessive with my research. I'll prob pull the trigger on the Ascends, seems like their a good choice for that price range, haven't heard anything negative about the 340SE's. I'll probably contact David soon!!! Thanks again.

The 340's are great; just get them. Who cares that they are ugly...

Are they really that ugly? I've heard some people say that they actually prefer the look. They don't stand out and blend into the decor better. I haven't seen them in person, so I really don't know myself. However, this is a living room setup, so I would prefer them to not be too unsightly considering everone who walks in my house will see them as soon as they come through the door.

They are not that ugly. In fact they are not ugly at all. They just don't have the nice wood finishes other speakers have.

Order the Sierra's

Ugly speakers are expensive:

Look like a snail with a mohawk.

gee mazer, this makes my decision making process seem simple...

op... order the ascends... if you don't like them, they'll cost you 60 bucks or so to ship them back... big deal...

you are obsessing WAY too much over this decision... and making WAY too many assumptions that probably won't hold true when the speakers (if you ever buy some ) are in your room...

You're right!!! The Ascends look drop dead gorgeous compared to those!!

Siera's?? I was going for the 340's. For HT use they'll be better for the price, from what I hear. They'll play louder anyway.

For HT only I don't know if I would get the Sierra's. For music listening I without a doubt would get the Sierra's. So if your trying to save a few bucks get the 340's. If looks are important, get the Sierra's.

If you'll always wonder if you should have gotten the Sierra's over the 340's, get the Sierra's now.

I can't believe you are still giving advice to Soundman

My advice would be similar to Mazersteven...make the purchase such that you won't look back. If that requires a couple pairs of speakers for auditioning then so be it.
