Looking for Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1
« on: 19 May 2018, 02:13 am »
Hello everyone,

I have a Sansui AU-X701 and am looking for a good pair of 8 ohm bookshelves. Thinking of the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1 or something similar. Suggestions much appreciated:)

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

With a couple more posts under your belt you could post a "want to buy" ad in the classified section.

Oh yeah, welcome.

Very good graphs:

and specs:

How big is your room? Distance to speakers? With type of music do you listen? Front or rear bass-reflex? Closed?

I think you must read my comments:

A very important graph is the dispersion. Ascend Sierra 1, traditional 2-ways, has very good dispersion!

Welcome!

Good choice (still love my old CBM-170's) but know that the Sierra's have low efficiency.
