Ascend Acoustics Speaker Set $700


This Ascend Acoustics set includes 1x central channel 2x shelf speakers and 2x rear speakers. Nearly unused condition (used about 4months) just add your own subwoofer and watch these speakers light up you ears and mind! Just google the manufacturer and you’ll find these speakers are audiophile quality and absolutely knock a bose listener off their feet. Reason to let these go is that they have been unused for a year and I use built in wall units. I paid $1379.95, so do enjoy the discount. Selling price is $700. No scratches, blemeshes or marks all the grills are in perfect condition. Again the speakers are in factory condition. Shipping is the ACTUAL shipping amount, UPS with tracking is probably the cheapest for you! I’m guessing $60.

Good luck and please email me directly with any questions or comments.

Ascend Acoustics HTM-200
3 reviews ( views/week) 5 of 5
MSRP: $ 149.00
Description:88hz-20khz +/- 2.5dB 1" catenary soft dome tweeter w/neodymium magnet, shielded (2) proprietary 4" long throw polypropylene woofers, cast metal chassis, rubber surround, vented pole piece, shielded

Front and rear baffle edges are radiused, reducing diffraction.
Compact tweeter faceplate allows for closer positioning to woofer, thus improving on- and off-axis response.
(2) Audiophile-grade proprietary 4" polypropylene cone woofers provide surprising bass extension and fast detailed transient response.
Flush mounted drivers and grille mounts minimize diffractions and reduce high-frequency baffle reflections.

Sealed enclosure provides excellent transient response and easy room placement, ideal for wall mounting or bookshelf placement.
5 way gold plated brass binding posts ensure a low resistance and secure connection to a wide variety of speaker cable connectors.
Dual 1/4 x 20 threaded inserts for trouble free and secure mounting to popular wall mount bracekts.

This versatile speaker will eliminate the typical response "hole" found in almost all compact home theater systems. This "hole" is caused by loudspeakers playing down to only 200hz while the subwoofer only plays up to 100hz, leaving a large audible gap in the response. This remarkable compact speaker has accurate tight bass down to 80Hz, while also providing a smooth and linear response with exceptionally wide room filling dispersion




Ascend Acoustics CBM-170
89 reviews (52 views/week) 4.92 of 5
MSRP: $ 359.00
Description:2-way rear ported design with advanced crossover. 6.5" Aerogel woofer with phase plug and 1" neodymium ferrofluid injected tweeter. Response 69hz - 20khz +/- 3db, sensitivity 89dB. Weight = 13lbs each.

All cabinet edges are radiused, reducing diffraction.
Custom 27mm double-chambered neodymium tweeter with ferro-fluid damped voice coil featuring extremely low distortion, extended response and wide dispersion.
Woofer phase plug (instead of dust cap) smoothes midrange, improves voice coil cooling (extending woofer life) and improves airflow thereby increasing efficiency.
Flush mounted drivers and grille mounts minimize diffractions and reduce high-frequency baffle reflections.
Proprietary 6.5" polygel woofer cone (composite fibers stabilized with an acrylic polymer-gel) provides exceptional stiffness yet is extremely lightweight and well damped, allowing tight fast bass and accurate mids.
Rear port tube enhances bass response, increases efficiency, and lowers distortion.
5 way gold plated brass binding posts ensure a low resistance and secure connection to a wide variety of speaker cable connectors.
Dual 1/4 x 20 threaded inserts for trouble-free and secure mounting to popular wall mount brackets.
