I applaud Dave at Ascend for literally putting his money where his mouth is. These measurements are terrific for a speaker at this price point and set a very high bar for others.
Based on Erin’s review, I actually ordered a pair for our TV room, which is a small, mixed use space (TV and music listening). Dialogue on TV and movies is very clear, and I’m quite happy with how music sounds, even though placement options are very limited. The bass is more than enough for the space. I’m running them with a Matrix Audio mini-i4 Pro and Neurochrome Modulus-286 amp (65W/8, 125W/4). I am wondering if a more powerful amp would be helpful, as I find they do come alive a bit more after the wick is turned up - undoubtedly due to the low sensitivity.
