[QUOTE="w00tah, post: 2653163, member: 571173"] There's a difference between speculation and observation. I did a little of both. And better products than previous offerings is a good reason to raise prices. But it's not a reason to switch from a system you've been using very effectively to something that might actually kill the brand rather than help it. How many people do you think are going to walk into an Ascendant authorized dealer and buy their products? If that's the brand the shop decides to push, sure. But if the Ascendant products are competing against JL, MTX, RF, Kicker, etc, it's not going to be a very fair fight for the Ascendant products, as 9/10 times the "name brand" will win over the little guy, both in the consumer's eye and the shop's, as they are the ones making the profit on the product. I wish Ascendant the best, I just don't want them being the next RE. Morgan [/QUOTE]
