Ascend Acoustics Owners' Lounge

[Gwreck]

Damn, this sucks for Dave. The guys has been nothing but transparent and direct. He's been nothing but a class act, an honest business man and an enthusiast audiophile himself.

At first I did raised an eyebrow with Erin's review, because I had own the LX, never heard any donation and they were bad ass speakers.

But the original owner who sent the speakers are saying he heard distortions at high level too, so we are at a point where the eyebrow is lowering a bit. But this does not explain why Erin didn't hear the cable rattling on the port. If he can hear the distortion, why couldn't he hear the cable rattling on the port?

I would say Dave should take few weeks off then come back to investigate, but I am sure he is getting eager customer inquiries at this point.

He definitely seems like a diamond in the rough as far as honest businessman with a great product. The internet and forms can be an absolutely toxic place even in relatively calm waters like ASR.
When I bought my ELX/sierra surround system from him he was awesome and went out of his way to make sure little stuff was taken care of even without asking. Oddly enough reading all this about LX’s actually seem like pretty great speakers. I hope all this attention drums up extra business for Ascend.

Added two more absorption panels to the front wall, the ELX sound much better than before. Spatial performance is even better, specifically imaging and holography.

Folks, all you need is to spend most of your money on quality speakers, room treatment and a load and frequency invariant amp with enough power and less than or equal to .05 THD+N.

Everything else, you can get the cheap stuff.
