Ascend Acoustics is an online direct from manufacturer brand that rival speakers that cost up to 5 times as much. They have plenty of setups, coupled with HSU subs, and the guy that runs the company is actively involved in the forums. I don’t own these, but everyone that does seems to swear by them. Direct from manufacturer speakers typically have a lot lower cost because you are basically buying the speakers at wholesale. It eliminates the overhead costs of buying from a retailer like Best Buy, and typically there is great support from forums for each respective DFM company. www.ascendacoustics.com www.hsuresearch.com Here’s a recent article where five online speaker companies are compared. Each has their own pros and cons. http://www.editorsguild.com/v2/magazine/archive
