Recently purchased a pair of Ascend Sierra LX and awaiting Sierra Horizon V2 center for a 3.1 setup. Have been using a Yamaha A-660 to this point. Have an Integra drx-3.4 on deck to use as a pre/pro once I decide which amp. In addition to which amp had a couple general newb questions come up...

Well I’ve had the Sierra LX’s for a couple days now and I am blown away. Previously I tested the ELAC UB52, Polk R200, and KEF Q350 before I got the Ascends and I will say you can instantly tell they’re on another level. The imaging, sound stage, detail, clarity are all there and very strong...

When I originally started the thread I was quite unfamiliar with Ascends’s lines and offerings. I was however very familiar with a lot of the criticism of most center channel speakers especially the 2 way MTM’s and their inherent issues. I was in the process of trying to build a 3.1 within a...

I thought the same thing about consistency but I’m pretty sure the folks at Ascend will also recommend the RAAL depending on the situation. I may go Titan dome in the Horizon V2 but I’m super intrigued by the RAAL and ideally I’d like to hear them both. I emailed Dave at Ascend and am waiting...

I’m open to that and it’s an option. It’s easy to get locked in to the idea of a traditional center and finding the best one. My whole search for this 3.1 has been predicated on a great center that has a great matching LR.

Thanks. I considered the 2 EX V2 as well for center duties and it’s still an option. I saw the review by Amir as well and I was wondering if that was the Sierra Horizon V2 center that he reviewed or if there was a predecessor to the current V2 center. It would seem as if since it’s...

Thanks for the information. I posted this when I started entertaining the LX’s and was very unfamiliar with the rest of the Ascend line. Then I discovered that what I was seeing was a few “true” centers and the option to buy a single monitor to use as a center. I am still locked in to the...

Thanks. Learned something new!

Thanks for the info, makes sense. I’m still very much learning the intricacies of this hobby. I see you mentioned one output/ a y splitter. My receivers have, will always have 2 sub outputs. If there are two does that then mean the difference of mono sub jacks (essentially the same as using...

When it comes time to run dual subs, what should I be looking for in an AVR? What makes the Integra 3.4 a bad option for that? I was under the impression any AVR that had dual sub jacks would be sufficient.

I’m on the fence with this Integra and the Yamaha RX-A4A for $799. I have two rooms where this may get used. One if which will never be more than a 3.1 but any of the bookshelf’s and center I choose (Sierra lx and Sierra horizon, 3 KEF Q350’s, Polk R200’s and Monolith thx-350c, ELAC UB52 and...

Greetings! Is there a worthy Ascend Acousitcs center that’s not, the Horizon 3 way center? I’m currently trying to upgrade my Living Room (21x13x8) setup that’s technically a secondary watching/ listening space. This will probably never be anything more than a 3.1 setup. 65% theater 35%...
