I figured it was time to start a thread dedicated to just the Ascend Towers. They have yet to be given a formal name, and once they do, we can update the thread title to reflect the change.
The towers will be coming soon and I hope to have the first pair
Dave just posted a few pics of the prototypes he plans to demo this saturday. More info can be found in the Tower thread over at the ascend forum.

Preliminary data:
MTWW design
Mid - proprietary 5.25" (roughly) with gold phase plug. Could also be a bit larger, closer to 6.5"....unsure as of now. Pics look deceiving.
Tweeter - Seas Proprietary Nrt (neo ring tweet) 29mm dome. -3dB at 28kHz (taken from sierra-1 Nrt measurement)
2 Woofers - similar driver found in the sierra-1(custom / proprietary) but tweaked for use in a larger enclosure
Rear ported - port plugs from sierra-1 will work and help accomodate placement options
Size - 7.5" wide, 43" high, 10.5" deep (based on pre-production models)
Cabinet construction - Bamboo, same VLAM construction as Sierra-1. Finish options are still TBD but a High gloss black (very similar to the current Piano black) will be offered.
More info to follow.
