Ascend Acoustics
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- My likely next speakers will be Phil’s or Ascends. I’ve heard the latter in person and also blown away.
- If you got a healthy budget, look at other brands as well, brands like Revel, RBH, Ascend Acoustics, Paradigm, etc...
- Direct-sales delivering reference performance through premium SEAS drivers and RAAL ribbon tweeters. They actually publish their Klippel NFS measurements - that's confidence in engineering.
- Speaker wise, RBH, Revel, Ascend Acoustics, Kef, are all great options to look at.
- KEF, SVS, Revel, Ascend Acoustics, ELAC, Philharmonic Audio, all offer very good center and most will, if not all, will offer end game L and R.
Cons
- Many other options in that price range depending on if you want Klipsch, KEF, Ascend Acoustics just to name a few.

If you’re not totally set on towers, take a look at the Ascend Acoustics speakers. You can get some really well built and designed speakers for a great price.
Look at something from Ascend Acoustics, far more bang for the buck compared to the brands you mentioned
I prefer direct-to-consumer brands like Ascend Acoustics, SVS, and Emotiva, as they offer better components without the added markup from distributors.
But three brands I would recommend you check out are Ascend Acoustics, KEF (R-series), and Revel (Performa3 series):
