They are a pretty good deal I would say. The build philosophy of Ascend is a lot like DIYers "throw expensive drivers in a box." Although some of the big design firms like Revel and Dynaudio are really making their value felt with curved baffles and cabinets, driver waveguides, etc, to make up for it, even if OEM cost of the drivers are not that high.

Glad to hear you like them. I am greatly considering either the sierra-1 or the cmt-340. I don't really want to spend more than $600 so I am leaning toward the 340s. What cabinet finish did you get out of curiosity? Link to comment

mayhem13 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 What are you implying? That the drivers used in the Ascend are not expensive relative to the offerings available to DIYers AND that DIYers have any set design philosophy at all......or that your statements of value are anything more than a generalization at best. Sorry for the blunt reply since you asked for a clarification. Link to comment

Sorry for the blunt reply since you asked for a clarification. DIYers use off-the-shelf drivers. They can't build their own to their own specifications, or have the 3d modelling and physics suites to design their own mounted waveguides. Sorry you can't read. Link to comment
