Woohoo? Just ordered Ascends and H/K receiver. Someone tell me I did the right thing!

Hi all. I just got a pretty good price for Ascend CBM-170's x4, CMT-340 center, Hsu VTF-3Mk2, and a H/K AVR430 receiver (Ascend has a special going on right now for packaged deals with H/K receivers). However, my right buttcheek is in a little bit of pain (because the thick wallet that used to cushion it is now quite a bit thinner!). Somebody please console me (and my buttcheek) and tell me that this package is going to kick some serious butt(cheek). I know all about the dropout with the H/K receivers, so hopefully that'll be the only thing I'll have to see that I can tolerate.

Ofcourse I will.....


It will be a very nice system! Your cheek will be happy.


How big is your room? What did you have before?


The dropout thing is not that big of a deal on my HK.

Here's a picture of the room it's about 15x17 (well, really more like 30x17 if you count the fact that it's open to the kitchen). Actually, I haven't even moved into this house yet, so I didn't have anything in there before... lol. It's funny how I ended buying my entire HT setup months before I even considered what kind of furniture and stuff to put in the house. Arggh... as if though my car modification addiction wasn't expensive enough! :)

Sweet system AND car! :)


I just got the ascends myself(340,2x170,2x200) and I'm waiting for the vtf3mk2 (like you are, I'm sure :)


I was skeptical about the HK, but you'll probably be very happy :) (i'm leaning towards yamaha 1400, right now)
