Understood, Curtis.
I briefly listened to the ELT when AV123 had their "show" in Dallas (it was the only setup I could ever hear, because I arrived "too late" -- in fact they closed down half-day earlier than initially announced  ). In this movie-only auditioning, I wasn't particularly impressed with the ELT, either. They sounded like small speakers, which they are. And I agree with you that to my ears they didn't have the mellow/laid-back character of the Rockets.

By the way, Curtis, how the heck can I go to the Ascends forum on their web site??? I thought it was already up and running with you as a moderator. But I cannot find the entrance...

I'd visit more often, but I never bookmarked it, and couldn't find it again! I'll bookmark it now!

LOL!!
I just don't use the word metallic, and I do not mind people referring to other forums. I do wish we had some more debates on stuff....but the board is still very young.
Ofcourse....since I am a moderator, I can delete anything I do not like. But, I have not had to do anything like that yet.

Yes, I did see someone else used the word "metallic" describing the Axioms there!  The word is banned, you know -- it's not even listed in the official Stereophile glossary.

The Hsu Research forum has a pointer to this in the Crutchfield Advisor.
In reply to:
Another impressive demo came courtesy of Hsu Research — long known for their potent, low-cost subwoofers — who showed their aptly named "Ventriloquist" surround speaker system. Comprised of four micro-sized satellites, a somewhat larger center-channel speaker, and an 8-inch subwoofer, the Ventriloquist system sounded far larger than its modest size and $500 price would suggest. The subwoofer blended beautifully with the front speakers, yet it was actually positioned a few feet from my chair. I had no clue until the presenter pointed to it!
