[F1308]

Also very much interested, but if active. So on stand by.

[Lorenzo74]

Absolutely, but it's not available yet which I gather is why Amir left it off the poll options;

Indeed.
However I will wait for this + cardioid sub.
A Kii three +BXT for a fraction of the price with better >1kHz sound…
@AsciLab we please you to tell us if and when the purifi version will be available with Cardioid sub…
Thank you in advance
My Best
L.

Hello everyone

I've ordered the C6B (White, white waveguide and white grill) and can't wait to receive them!

Indeed, as they are considered as a reference of neutrality and good behavior in a room, I want to hear the difference with my current speakers (JMR Folia Jubilé) which have never been measured but which are considered here in France as good speakers, handcrafted, neutral and “musical”... It will also be a new reference point for me.

In short, for the same format (2 way design, size, shape and weight) and the same price range, I think I'm going to discover a new world, even if technically they're not comparable.

It'll be an interesting comparison for you, and it would be interesting to see your JMR be measured at some point (from your point of view for sure) so you can see how the measurements differ.

Looking through "AsciLab_Product_Lineup_2025_3.pdf" (upload to forum not possible, file too large at 29.43MB) the A6B is not on the roadmap for 2025. Apart from the F6B and F6Bs the prices wander off into the stratosphere. One thing that is a surprise is that ASR members in general welcome amplifiers from Fosi, Aiyima, Douk . . . and low cost DACs from Topping, SMSL, Gustard . . . where the performance is great at reasonable cost. When the interest moves to speakers the same rationale seems to take a nose dive and the cost is not so relevant.

So the F6B would be my choice if I was considering changing speakers, giving performance at reasonable cost.

Amirm: looking at the AsciLab web pages just now, there is so little information on the speakers it could be described as barren, devoid of anything of use to a potential purchaser, no link even to the .pdf file. Perhaps your new venture needs to correct this.

I was considering the sealed speakers because I already have a pair of subwoofers.

 

[Darkatomz]

Good timing for me, I have been wanting to upgrade my Paradigm speakers from 15yrs ago with the Ascend Acoustics - Sierra LX, but after going through all of the Ascilab threads, I might entertain the C6B pending review to upgrade from a 3.1 living room setup to a 5.1 (provided I can find the space).

Absolutely. expect a very information rich site to educate people what to buy and why.

 

[sdrichard]

I am not in the market at the moment, but might need to set up a 14'x17' room in a few months. Am interested in the A6B.

 

[Chrispy]

At this point, knowing so little about them I'm interested in all of them. Doesn't seem to be a poll option.

Posting my wish for Ascilab here again

AsciLab speakers are about to launch

Edit: this was just an Activity Record sent by Fed EX, NOT AN INVOICE! There was no additional monies due. So, a couple weeks since delivery of my C6b and I received a invoice from Fed Ex for duties. $140.25

I think the A6B was changed to S6B (purifi tweeter) and timeline shows plan for availability in 2025

If I was buying, I would want an option to purchase a single or group of three for LCR. I have an acoustically transparent screen. Even if I had a big flat panel tv, I'd still still want three identical LCR. There are probably future buyers in this situation and want to avoid having to pay for an orphan speaker or trying to sell a single speaker.

 

[EJ3]

Good to have interest for future products as well but as JSmith mentioned, the immediate need is the mix of currently available speakers.

I'll look at what they have available after the 1st of Jan. And then look at my budget for the year. I am interested in something in the $4K+ range (S6B perhaps) but, my wife & I have both now retired & I do not know what that will mean for our budget, as we will be together the whole year instead of being in different places working (that provided room & board) during the year.

 

[samysound]

I would be interested in a pair of the C6C depending on the final specs and price

 

[jEDGEc0m]

Not in US, but I currently am interested in F6B (I did not vote) - waiting for the hype to settle, and stock to return...

I suppose it wouldn't be very popular, but maybe relatively easy to offer as option @AsciLab - a version without passive cross-over, with 2 pairs of binding posts - i.e. Unpowered active. and provide the parameters for the active bi-amped crossover signals to be implemented at the user end, with their choice of DSP implementation. (Though maybe still some basic tweeter protection in the speaker's box).

The work done with the passive XO in these models is clearly exceptional, but presumably there are still some benefits to going "active" - but I don't want the amps and power supplies "built in".

Without the passive XO components, it should be some amount cheaper too.

Would also gain some sensitivity, right? I wonder how much...

I live in Europe and am not buying at all, but if i was i would get the sealed one and pair it with a sub (or two). The passive radiator does not go low enough for me (i'm a basshead). But like said i'm not buying and EU citizen so i did not vote.

 

[Good Vibes]

I'm more than likely not buying but I really like the A6B. I have a thing for Purifi woofers.

Wow, this speaker looks fantastic. Intrested to know what effect that side radiator would have. Sadly, gonna be a fair bit out of my budget.

I’d like the F6Bs! These would make great surround for me.

I’d also like the A6B when it becomes available!
