I am thinking of upgrading my current setup, and ive decided to with Ascend because of their budget minded approach to home audiol. The problem is i cant decide between the cmt 340s or the cbm 170s as my mains. I live in a trailer so my living room is a medium to small sized room. Does anyone know if upgrading to the 340s would really make a big difference?

Craig's right. The 340 will give you greater output and is better if you like it loud or have a large room. It's also great for the kind of people who want the biggest and best a company offers. I use 340's for my front 3 and 170's for surrounds and love them. For a small room, though, I'd go for the 170's.

I suspect you do not need the increased dynamic capability of the 340s, so I recommend going with the 170s.

How do dynamics coincide with room size? is it just the speakers ability to spread sound throughout the room? sorry for the dumb question but im still a noob. thanx
