    Anyone seen the boycott Monster Stuff?

    NO more Monster products for me! Apparently they have chosen to use their excess profits to sue the ass off anyone they choose. I beleive they have a right to protect their trademark... but only in the specific business areas that they produce specific products in. It looks like they have chosen...

    Ascend CBM-170s?

    The 170's are an amazing speaker! Definately give a try. Randy

    *Gasp* Have to downgrade

    Check out the Ascend Acoustics website. I'd strongly suggest the CBM-170's for the fronts, the CMT-340 center and HTM-200's for surrounds...$808 plus $24 shipping. The 170's would need a few inches of space behind for the port to breath (use the omni-mounts that Ascend sells). The 240's are...

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    I hear ya Curtis. That statement I made was wide open! I shoulda said, "as faithful as I can get with as few dollars as I have!" (or my wife lets me have!) Randy

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    I haven't seriously demo'd many systems yet. For the last year I've sampled about everything in the local chain electronic stores a bit- just enough to realize that most of the popular box systems are junk. My bro-in-law used to build his own speakers and amps and I'm sure they had their faults...

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    I live in western Iowa. If there is anyone near me willing to demo then let me know. I think giving Ascend a call would be a good idea. Hearing the units in my own HT would be the best- me thinks. The forums have been a big help. It seems everyone has a different taste in speaker sound and maybe...

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    Curtis I took your advice and went over to the Ascend site. Learned a little more about the thoughts on the CMT340. To hear the Ascends I may have to just order a set and audition them in my home and then send them back if I'm not interested. I'd like to know what's the deal on the 340 L/R that...

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    Thanks for the reply guys. Took the time today to audition the complete Klipsch Reference line. My impressions were that up to and including the RF-35 line that I was less than impressed. HT did sound a tad harsh. Moving up to the RB-75 and of course the RF-7 things changed around tho. I ran...

    Axiom vs. Klipsch

    Hello everyone! I've been reading the posts here for the past month or so. Great forum with knowledgable posters. I hope you can help me out here. I'm putting together a HT system and have become interested in a couple bookshelf units- the Klipsch RB-35 and Axiom M22ti both costing about $400...
