| Re: SVS vs Ascend Hey Doug,
I only had the 340SE as my center, so obviously it's a bit tough to gauge the difference, because most of the center is dialogue.
With that being said, I like the sound of the Sierra Frontstage better than the 340SEC, and the 170SE, I just feel like it's a more seamless match, which of course would make sense.
I have never heard the HTM200's, so I have no idea what they are about, except that they do have the advantage of being sealed for tougher installations.
The 170SE are more than enough as far as surround duty IMO, although I don't listen to 5 Channel music/SACD/DVDA.
BTW- The 170SE is a bigger speaker than some folks think. |
