Ascend Acoustics - any experienced users?

I love my Sierra Raal. It blends well in the center with ESLs on its flanks. I ordered it as a center (not stipulating vertical) so I had to turn the ribbon 90°.  No sweat.  Much easier to understand dialogue vs any domes I have tried.

I had the Ascend raal towers for over 7 years. They used to be $3k a pair. Absolutely amazing quality and sound for the money. Surprisingly deep and articulate bass and the raals produced extremely precise treble but without fatigue. Huge sounstage too, covered the entire front wall. Plus Dave Fabrikant is one of the nicest audio company owner in the business. You can't go wrong. Only reason for moving on from them is once I built the house of stereo I went with much larger towers for a bigger sound.

they are tremendous value, any comparable speaker would cost twice as much.  Decent looking too...

I helped my ex-wife put together a small system and picked up a pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1's for her. They are great speaker for their size and cost, but I do not have any experience beyond that.

Enjoying a pre-loved pair of Sierra LX here. Simple and inexpensive setup at the moment. These speakers sound very balanced to me and punch way above their weight. They will definitely not be the bottleneck in your system till you start spending multiple K's on your other components. Amazing value, especially used. Please PM me if you need more details.
