[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 1252459, member: 541383"] ..:: OLD SITE ::.. ..:: CLICK HERE ::.. ..:: Announcement ::.. After a LOT of design work, testing, and measuring (We are talking about hundreds of hours of REAL ground-plane measurements, not just measuring or comparing specs...) we are pleased to announce our new products. Most of you already know about the midrange drivers, but there are now going to be four new lines of subwoofers. Each subwoofer line represents some SERIOUS performance for the money. As always, all of our subwoofers carry the fantastic sound quality and value that you have come to expect from Ascendant Audio. We are ridiculously picky about the quality of sound, so a few months of extra design time is worth it when they deliver. The midrange drivers will be the first to hit the market followed by the lower priced subwoofers and so on up the line. The subwoofers are not yet ready for purchase. There are probably at least a few questions that you will have after reading this page, so we promise to fill you in as quickly as possible. We will be posting pictures over the next few days as well information for each product lineup. For now, here is the basic info: Component Set: Mid Ascendant Audio 6.5 inch dual-layer carbon fiber sandwich cone. 11.5 mm xmax (one-way). Copper shorting ring. Solid aluminum phase plug. High power neodymium magnet structure. Dual-coil linear motor. Tweeter Custom Vifa XT25-based ring-radiator (oh yeah...). 1 inch neodymium. Price: Coming soon. Subwoofers: Assassin Series 2 inch voice coil. Dual 5.5 inch magnet stack. Driver sizes: 8, 10, 12 Price point: ~$100 Assault Series 2.5 inch VC Dual 6.25 inch magnet stack Driver sizes: 10, 12, 15, 18 Price point: ~$150 Arsenal Series 2 inch voice coil. Triple 6.25 inch magnet stack. Bottomless design. Extremely flat frequency response. Driver sizes: 10, 12, 15 Price point: ~$200 Havoc Series High power handling and motor strength. Driver sizes: 12, 15, 18 Details to be revealed soon . . . The prices above are not set in stone. Pricing per driver will eventually be finallized. However, the price points above give you a ball-park idea of where prices will be "centered" for the particular line. For example, the Assassin line will cost under $100 for the 8's and 10's and around $100 for the 12. It just gives you some sort idea of what to expect. Don't be surprised if the smaller drivers are a little bit less and the bigger drivers are a little bit more than the estimated price point. Once the pricing is set in stone, it will go up on our website along with the specs etc. No, the Assault 18 will NOT be $150, but it should come in ~$200... Please don't call and ask about every little detail of the new products. We will post the info here as it becomes available, I promise. If it is not posted, you will NOT find out about it by calling us. We are incredibly excited about these new drivers. They all represent spectacular performance for the money. A huge amount of time and effort has gone into their design. We will be revealing more pics, specs etc. over the next few days. We have just raised the bar...
