I recommend the Ascent to anyone interested in superbly natural sound.

I'm not sure where Tom is getting his measure of 'better performing',
but I'm not at all convinced that it relates entirely to the listening
experience (deep bass aside). And I defy *anyone* to find a superior
speaker (in any respect) for less than $400, which is Tom's claim.

I've not had access to the Ascent but I'ver tested several ML models over the
years and ALL of them had fairly severe frequency response abberations compared
to lower priced moving coil models.

Further their hybrid center channel speakers are grossly deficient in measured
performance and listening evaluation. And for bad sound you get to pay premium
prices. What a deal.

You want more? Just ask me
