    Why is this thread now a "sticky"?

    10/23 is an away game for UT football and would be a good choice. I can bring my 170s and 340CC up from Houston so that would leave trying to locate some 340 L/Rs for Ascends. For those concerned about the weather throw in a long sleeve shirt. A cool front is possible around then, otherwise...

    How about doing 340 measurements w/David's set-up preference to compare w/o any review or comments?

    If planning an Austin GTG in the fall be aware of the home game schedule for UT Football. It makes a big difference in hotel rooms and restaurants. I've managed both in Austin.;) 9/4 Sat. North Texas presented by CarMax Austin, Texas Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium 6:00 p.m. PPV...

    David, Mark, and Craig thank you all for your efforts. I do get where David is coming from as well as Craig. Having corresponded with and reading David's posts over a couple years it is quite obvious to me how stressed out he is. I suspect the kind words from a friend about all this would...

    With the size of the room I didn't expect anything from an 8" sub. I'd be interested in what Craig's thoughts are w/o it.

    The specs given for the STF-1 and the 550s are only 8Hz apart. An 8' sub ain't going to do much in a room that big no matter who makes it. The differences Craig describes aren't limited to bass differences.

    1st A-94 B-100 2nd A-100 B-92 3rd A-100 B-91 4th A-100 B-95 5th are these posted? I didn't see them. Only that the wife liked B a little better for country music. Of the 4 listening sessions scores Craig preferred the sound of the 550s each time. Unless there are five posted scores and I...

    I hadn't thought of bass reinforcement from being closer to the walls. :b

    Yep that would work. Possible baffle effect for both.

    My only suggestion is change the Rocket to being the inside speakers and the Ascend to the outside for a listening session or two. My tv went in the shop a while back and I was shocked at the improvement in imaging w/o it between the speakers. It would be interesting if your imaging thoughts...

    Craig has already done this with Axiom M22, Rocket ELTs, and Ascend 170s.

    Aren't the ELT-CE bookshelves and this is a floorstander review?
