Okay I'm down to two choices to test more expensive speakers, and I'd like to know people's opinion on these two choices. Again the purpose is purely academic to see if I can hear any difference from my current Revel F36s just for curiousity's sake, but of course since I intend to purchase these I expect I will be keeping them in my HT which consists of the following (not including the towers): 5.2.4, Ascend Acoustics Duo V2 LCR center, Revel M16 rear surrounds, SVS Prime Elevation (2 front heights), Klipsch RP-500SA (2 rear height), dual SVS SB-1000 Pro subs, connected to a Sony STRAZ5000ES AVR, and an OutLaw 5000x amp.
So the choices are:
Ascend Acoustics ELX w/ Titan Dome
Revel F208
I'm leaning towards the Ascend Acoustics for 3 reasons. 1) Amir gave them a perfect preference number of 7.0 whilst the F208 got a 6.6, 2) I'd like to try a non-Revel product, and 3) they're much lighter so moving them around is something I can do by myself not true of the F208s, but the Revel has 2 advantages in my mind, 1) bigger 8 inch woofers, and 2) it IS a Revel so a very good comparison to it's cheaper brother.
So . . . what says the forum?
And, please no offense, but I'd appreciate comments on the system components be left for another discussion. I'm just interested in folks opinion on the two choices.
