Super system ...
Russell,
Beautifully musically symmetrical system.

I love how your Ascents i's and Descents are positioned. Now I wish I had another Descent...

I am curious about your room dimensions? Did you purchase or make the acoustic sound tubes in the corners of your room, behind your Ascent i's? Do the acoustic sound tubes in the corners make a positive improvement in the Bass or Higher tonal registers of sound or both? Do you find the fire place, a room acoustical sound challenge or not? Does your Bel Canto EVO4 amp. and Bel Canto PREP2 preamp sound as awesome as they look?
Wonderful system Russell...
Cheers
