Legendary USA manufactured loudspeakers.
In very good condition.
Will need very good amplification of at least 150 watts/rms per channel.
1.62 Meter high with a 10″ bass driver.
Will need some space to disperse correctly.
Imaging, build and sound quality unbelievable with tight bass response (best of both worlds).
For the hi-end stereo audiophiles.
Specifications:-
The Ascent i hybrid speaker system consists of a broad range single element electrostatic transducer integrated with a quick-response woofer.
This approach takes advantage of the benefits that both technologies have to offer.
Dispersion is a controlled 30 degrees. This was achieved by curving the electrostatic transducer element itself, an elegantly simple solution.
