Ascilab C6B & F6B Launched – Ask Questions, Share Feedback

I love the approach that Ascilab took with the community and their extraordinary and unique balance of expertise and humility, so I decided to buy a pair of C6B in flat black for my Hong Kong apartment. I currently have Revel F35s in that setup so I can't expect the C6B to surpass them.

However, I'll get a lot of visual space back and the C6B will fit the small apartment much better. I plan to place these on a deep window shelf alongside a flat screen TV and Cambridge Audio Evo100. I'll be sure to take before and after REW measurements and share with this group.

Thank you Ascilab! I can't wait to see them in person after reading about them for so long online!

Congrats. I don't know if your assumption is correct if you dial in a decent subwoofer with the C6B. I've heard the F35 which is a nice speaker. The C6B imho, is a step above the F35 with a subwoofer.

You may very well be correct. Using the excellent comparison tool at spinorama.org, I can see that the C6B doesn't give up much at all in the low frequencies to the F35. There's only a 1dB difference at 80Hz or thereabouts. Across the frequency range, The C6B is smoother with less deviation from linear. Can't wait to measure and hear them!

Also directivity of the Ascilab is smoother

and possibly distortion also lower.
 
Just noticed that the A6B is not on that spreadsheet, that I believe will have both an active and passive version.

I placed an order for the C6B on June, 4th and received the speakers today. Total cost to my door was $1805 CAD if any Canadian members are curious about pricing.

I assume FedEx charges are Provincial and Federal taxes but I won't know until the invoice arrives.

Lucky you, I placed my order on June 5th and got in queue for early July :) (delivery to Central Europe)
 
Can that passive radiator be within 10 cm of a back wall or book shelf?

Do the dual passive radiators on the a6b need a lot of space around them?

@AsciLab What are the most important audible differences between the F6B and the C6B? I find it hard to judge from the measurements. Thanks!
