Florida Dreaming

Welcome to the community!

Ascents are just the business, I have a couple of pairs........what are you driving them with?

Prepare to be led astray in the chequebook department over the years, but I assure you, the Ascents will always make you smile, nothing like them.

It's been a few years since I was in Florida (1987 I think, up in Palm Bay) on business, beaches were still empty, the hotels hadn't arrived upstate on the beachfronts.

take care

All I currently have is a Pioneer Elite SC-05 to power the Ascents. Right now I have them bi-amped which seems to be driving them pretty well. Saving up for a decent amp right now.

Get yourself a decent (even used from A'gon) amp, and you'll really hear those babies sing!

Amps from amps

On your search for the next upgrade for an amp, let me share a recent experience.

I had a classical musician visitor show up who clearly wanted to hear the big MLs with the Jeff Rowlands, I played a SACD in 2 channel, she enjoyed it immensely. I then offered the same SACD music on the other player (identical) in multichannel via Sony separates and the ML Ascents, it didn't take 20 seconds and she said " the notes are running together ". This amazed me as she had no idea about hifi but this is a symptom typical of underpowered amps relative to their speakers.

In short, your Ascents love current, so hunt down large hi current delivery amps, the US has a good choice on this front. Nothing wrong with second hand. Listen to lots of gear and form your own opinions and experiences relative to your music tastes.

It's a journey, most of all, have fun!
