I really love them and think they are a speaker delivering better value than many others I've auditioned. I'm still curious about speakers, but not I'm curious about different kinds of speakers -- wide baffle, planar magnetic, high efficiency (much higher than mine). I don't want to trade in the Ascends -- they're pretty astonishing-- I just want a second pair!
