1. Introduction
Your new Avalon Acoustics Ascendant loudspeakers represent a true breakthrough
in the development of moving-coil loudspeakers intended for accurate music
reproduction. Upon initial listening, the immediacy and presence of a live
performance becomes instantly apparent. The intent is to closely reproduce the
original musical event, as opposed to creating a "spectacular" sonic character which
can impress upon first listening, but fail to satisfy over a long period of time.
The Ascendant accomplishes this goal by providing the transparency and clarity
which is lacking in many dynamic designs. Overall smoothness is achieved without
depressing the high-frequency response, a technique used in some products. Low
frequencies are rendered realistically and controlled, as opposed to a "larger than
life" perspective, which can impress, but compromises definition and harmonic
integrity.
This high level of performance is retained in virtually any listening situation. The
Ascendant has been specifically designed to elicit the finest possible performance
from any amplifier, tube or solid-state, due to its easy-to-drive nature. Similarly,
interaction with the room has been minimized, allowing ease of placement in a wide
variety of listening environments.
Your Ascendant loudspeaker was designed and built to the highest standards of
workmanship and performance. These standards are preserved through the test of
time by careful attention to component quality and meticulous testing of each unit
before leaving the factory. As a new owner of this Avalon Acoustics product, you
can be assured that you possess one of the few great loudspeakers the audio industry
has to offer.
