    Dilemma with Ascents, Vantages, and Tubes

    In Reply to you all Thanks all for some great comments and information. I have biamped the Citation 16 using separate high-end speaker cables to the woofer and panels indpendantly. Interconnects are high-end Monsters (maybe some room to improve there a bit). Today I gave it a really critical...

    Dilemma with Ascents, Vantages, and Tubes

    OK my good friends. I have a dilemma at hand. I have been saving for a tube amplifier with wich to play my Ascent speakers. The budget is saved and ready to go. - I am now using a 150 watt/ch (oldie but a goodie) HK Citation 16 to play my ML Ascents. It is a beefy solid state amp of about 60...

    Ascent rediscovered

    Question re details for capacitors for Ascents Hi, I read your post below. I am interested in doing what you did - ie. replacing the capacitors in my Ascents. If you say this brought you to that "next level" of sound from the Ascents then it looks like a really good project. Can you possibly...

    Tube Sound for Ascents

    Thanks all for your replies. Just FYI: I am not a person who likes the really strong low frequencies. In fact, I purposely disconnected my sub-woofer from my home theater. I much prefer the mid and higher ends. This is compatible with the tube-sound that I am looking for. I am looking for a...

    Tube Sound for Ascents

    I have decided to splurge for a tube amp to hook up to my acsents. OK, on a bit of a budget. I am looking to spend around $2,000 for a (presumably pre-owned) tube amp. Could be mono blocks or 2 channel. I recently heard Watt Puppies on a VTL tube - think it was 120 watt amp. This was the best...

    Has anyone upgraded from Ascent to Vantage?

    Thanks for your response. I know about the micro perf technology in the new stators - this gives the Vantage which is physically smaller than the Ascent a presence of a speaker with an ESL driver twice its size. Hard to wrap my head around this (although it is likely the case). I did hear the...

    Has anyone upgraded from Ascent to Vantage?

    Not too long ago, I bought a pair of Ascents (pre-owned). To me, they are the best thing since sliced bread - never heard anything so detailed & fine. However, they are a bit large when put in place in my house. My wife would have preferred something that is smaller (more narrow) and does not...

The Pioneer has MCACC which is the equivalent product to Audessy in the Denon world. It does full band phase control and equalization. Does a...

    Question re Center Channel Speakers

    Hello: I have a new pair of ML Ascents - purchased pre-owned of course. I do not have the money now to get a matching center channel. I have a set of Mirage OM-10 speakers now with matching center channel. The center channel itself is really very good. Good range, clear & clean highs, and not...
