Good morning, Folks. I'm looking at purchasing a pair of Ascent i's to upgrade my 2 channel system. I would then move my Vistas to the rear channels of the HT system. The Ascents are NIB from an authorised dealer,and I expect to pay between $1650.00 and $1850.00 each. I'm very (VERY) happy with my Vistas, but I need to replace the Oscar the Grouch rear speakers anyhow, and i think this might be a great way to do it. I'll definitely be demo-ing them beforehand, but I'd like your opinions mainly on the price and any common issues the Ascents have, but ofcourse if any of you have demo'd the vista and ascent side by side, I'd love to hear your impressions.
I'll be powering them with a Yamaha A-S2000 Integrated Amp (150 wpc into 4 ohms)
and my source is a Yamaha CD-S2000 SACD Player.
Note: I'm very pleased with the performance of these two components, so please no Yamaha Bashing, unless you've owned an A-S2000, then by all means let me have it
The HT Receiver is a Yamaha Aventage RX-A1010; powers (only) the rears and center.
Listening volume is never very loud, maybe 45% on the dial.
Music is definitely my priority.
Room size is 11' by 13' with the front channels on a long wall, one end (left if facing the speakers) is open. a picture can be seen here:

I'm building this system as a long term investment, so the room isn't permanent.
Thanks a bunch. Julian
