Got my Sttafs back from my dealer yesterday. The crossovers were fine, but the woofers were toast. They replaced both the woofers for me with no charge for labour.
I listened to them last night for a couple of hours. They sound like new speakers to me. Before one sounded a little different than the other one to me, but now they're perfectly matched. They sound a little tighter now too.
I'm pretty stoked. |

Now go easy on the experiments, David.
Next time use something a little cheaper to test on!
Ebjoy.
Good to see you Art. |

Good for you David. I'm sure it feels a little like you just bought them new. Take care of those babes...they are a sweet pair of ladies - you'll need to hold off with the rough stuff from now on. |

Hey Dave - did you see the backside of the woofers in the Sttafs? Were they all candyfloss and the like?
Have your received your Ascend monitors? Get some pics up on "system pics" when you get them. I'm anxious to hear how they sound on your amps. |

No, I never got to see them George, although that would have been kinda neat. My dealer did tell me that they more "most definitely blown" which I guess means I had catastrophically destroyed them.
No Ascends yet. They cleared customs yesterday, so I'm hoping I get them today. It's been 2 weeks. |

Me too Nuck. The last time I ordered something significant from the states turned out be a fiasco (remember Emotiva?). I spoke with David Fabrikant from Ascend personally about my bad experiences before and he assured me that they have a lot experience shipping stuff internationally with no issues.
This time I got it shipped USPS so I'm hoping I don't get dinged too heavily on the brokerage/duties. The upside is that the Ascends are manufactured in the US, and they ship with the required NAFTA paperwork.
I'll keep ya posted. |
