Ascend :handgestures-thumbup:

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, then my recommendation for 2 channel is to step up just a little more

Ascend SIERRA-1

MZ, if you don't like the Ascends and you decide to return them then I suggest you look at these Focals from accessories4less.com

$900 shipped for a pair is 50% off. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a- ... html#!more

:text-+1: :text-+1: :text-+1: and that price is for new! And NOT refurb. I'm thinking of getting a pair just because...

I believe it's 900 bucks each.

But it's a picture of a pair of speakers. So what's your excuse now? :teasing-neener:

 

[AndySTL]

Holy cow! That price on the Focals is insane!

 

[-B-]

oh damn, when did a4l get Focal!?

MZ, I've heard these....it's a steal.

 

[Barney]

Well I decided. I am going to try Zing's suggestion of the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 Mini-towers. I can have them for thirty days and from Zing's recommendation and some research I feel I am going to like them. Even with stands they fall comfortably in my budget and if they don't meet my particular tastes I can return them. In case you missed it:

$608 delivered to your door

I've heard these and they're awesome, especially for the price.

:text-link:

You should love those speakers............MTM's are very hard to beat......very hard to beat.

Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in. :happy-smileygiantred:

Taking the night to reconsider. In the meantime my bro finally picked up the dining room table and I made some adjustments.

What about keeping your towers in your two channel room w/o a sub and tracking down a used pair of the MTS bookshelves for the basement...

I have been looking for used SVS speakers from the MTS/MBS series. Seems people that have them are not ready to sell.

Would you settle for a 7.1 SBS system with a PB12+ for $850

Just heard from this seller. Everything is gone except two of the SBS bookshelf speakers - asking $80/pair. I may take a run just to have them at that price.

I really think you should seriously consider the incredible value that those Focals represent. They could quite possibly best the SVS floor standers that they'll replace in your current temporary set-up. I guess I'm having a hard time computing that a lesser speaker than your MTS will be used for "critical" listening...I hope that I'm not being offensive if so :text-imsorry:

No offense at all, this is the type of feedback I like.

With those SBS bookshelf speakers at $80 I would keep the MTS in the two channel setup and use the MBS for fronts downstairs and the SBS for the surrounds.

^^ now that computes!! And you'll save a bunch of $$ :handgestures-thumbup:

And at $80 once I get the HT done in the basement if I don't care for the setup I can look for something then to use in the 2 channel setup and move the MTS downstairs.gives me breathing room on the finances for a while.
