Ascend 340's minus a sub

Hello, I listen to all types of music with a strong emphasis on acoustic jazz and female vocals. Occasionally I also listen to more pop oriented stuff, but rarely. With an NAD 320BEE, would the 340's be a good match? I am not a bass fiend, I like to HEAR it but I don't necessarily have to feel it. LOL!

Don't know about the 320bee, but my NAD separates put out tons of bass on my 340s when I had them hooked up. The 320BEE having less power, probably also has less bass...but should be fine with the 340s since you say you are not a bass fiend.

The Ascends particularly do well with acoustic jazz and female vocals, btw.

It might be worth waiting until mid-January when the new Ascend 340SE comes out though, with totally different drivers, a retuned cabinet, and supposedly an extra 10Hz of bass extension.

Here's the details on the new model:

I use my 340s for music, mostly jazz and female vocals, without a sub. If you can wait 6 weeks or so the new 340SE will be rated +/-3dB into mid 40s.

But, it really comes down to you trying them and deciding if it works for you.
