Jason, I am sorry you are not happy with my response to you regarding your warranty inquiry. I have read and reread it dozens of times now, you asked me specific questions and I answered them for you. You stated in your email to me, and I quote: "I know that I have played these speakers...

Hi guys, Thanks for all your replies and PMs. I can only answer a few general comments at this time as I am preparing for CES at this time. Please, for any system advice or possible sales related inquires, email me directly. It is in my opinion that there has been a bit too much marketing on...

Hi Bryan, I thought I would chime in here and address the issues you bring up. First off, and I want to make this perfectly clear, the CMT-340 center was designed specifically to match the in-room response of the CBM-170 when used as a left/right. I believe I should know this, as I...

Darn it-- just lost my last post.. trying again.. a few more drinks later... Mark, Craig & all, thanks for the kind words. Things are not good, I am not doing so well. Thankful for the support of some friends I am with now, my brother and I (here too, thankfully) are dealing as best we can...

Hi Guys, My apologies… I am not at home at home and am posting from someone else’s computer. I am a little confused as to how to clear cookies or log in but I think I have it correct now… Due to the timing of this event, I had never planned on attending. I made this quite clear well...

This is really a great thread and offers an abundance of knowledge to the general public. As my name was mentioned here, I must make a few comments as to some of Craig's posts: I did NOT state this, nor would I ever. I just re-read an email you sent me where you stated that you actually...

Hi Guys, My sincere apologies! I would LOVE to attend this event and meet (drink with) many of you but unfortunately, I will not be able. My weekend schedule does not clear up until early November, I have 2 weddings to attend and loads of family coming into town all on different weekends...

Thanks Guys! I too am very glad things are calm and Craig and I are on better terms :) I posted an interesting concept for loudspeaker reviews and while I don't have time right now to further elaborate on this, I think it is well worth investigating. And, much better handled from the...

Jimmy, Yes, this is very true and is a proven fact. Acoustic memory is much shorter than most people assume. The way around this is to establish a baseline, used in conjunction with accurate measurements. For example, we can use Craig as the reviewer. Craig brings home a pair of very...

Craig, Of course.. unless your review of the Maestro sub causes your roof to collapse. Your on your own when that happens :) Notice I said when.. and not if... Jimmy made a good post regarding AVS. I too think they should re-evaluate. Problem with closing a thread early is that too many...

Mark, Your kind words are always comforting and encouraging. Not much I can say in response, other than a most sincere Thank You. The passion expressed in our hobby by all of us is simply amazing. Coming from the engineering end of companies that sold product retail, I never, NEVER had the...

Jimmy, I certainly respect your opinions and one previous point you made is certainly true, much of this is between Craig and Myself. However, I must comment on your above quote... I stand by my products and always will. They are the result of years of hard work combined with over 20...

Thanks Chris, Yes... the kind words were indeed from Mark. He casually and "lovingly" reminded me of advice I once gave him when a similar situation arose when his company was on the chopping block so to speak. As I have said so many times in the past, I HATE this Rocket vs Ascend...

Thanks for pointing that out Jack, You are absolutely correct. He did not make public mention of "family". Craig, my apologies :frowning: I think I have been in front of a monitor far too long now. Don't get me wrong here, I would love to make amends with Craig. Much of this thread is...

Thank You, Curtis. It is true Craig has greatly upset me. It has nothing to do with the results of this review. I did ask something of Craig privately and he made this public, re-wording it so it might imply a different meaning, and I quote "A hardship to his family". I find this offensive...

Curtis, you are quite correct, If you are going to test audio systems on equal ground, and if one system requires a different type of configuration to place it on equal ground with the other, this must be done. Would you race a top-fuel dragster against one that uses a different type of fuel...

I was not aware of this either.. however, this test was more on an equal playing field as the ELT is NOT a full range speaker, and the problems associated with playing a bookshelf speaker full range would be present in both setups. Craig, you know this, what exactly is your point? You are...

Thank you, Craig, for understanding. As I mentioned to Craig, if there is going to be another review of Ascend product, I want to be there. I have unfortunately learned *after the fact* the setup of this review was far from ideal for one particular product. When I have the time, and with...

Are they planning to throw in the stands to every customer?

Hi Guys, Just returning from a small family vacation from Lego Land… Fun, but too crowded and tiring (impossible to keep up with a toddler). Before I take my much needed nap, there are just a few things that require some comments. Many of you (both publicly and privately) were taken back by...

Hi Nhan, Yes.. of course I was comparing package systems.. that is obvious in my post. Also, my pricing for the packaged systems is dead on (except perhaps for shipping). As I mentioned, the majority of customers will purchase a packaged system :) Aesthetics, like sound quality is also a...

Hello, I just thought I would chime in here and add a comment to this thread. I first want to make note here that our CMT-340 is a bookshelf sized speaker. It is about 1/3 the size of a 550 MK II. I am honored that our speaker has compared so favorably to such a high quality tower speaker...

Hi Vinh, Thanks for considering our products! Actually, the CBM-170 work quite well as nearfield monitors. We have many customers (like Chris) using them in a nearfield situation (less then 1 meter) and the reported results have been excellent. So much so that we have a growing number of...
