Avalon Ascendant

110.000 DKK

Superlative performance in a compact package, the Ascendant features many of the design philosophies pioneered in the Isis. Easy to drive and efficient, the Ascendant is a magician, throwing a huge and stable soundstage in even modest size listening rooms.

The dynamic Ascendant combines startling bass response with concise transparency once deemed unthinkable for a transducer this size. Transcient bass impact is startling with vanishingly low 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion properties. Combining exceptional efficiency and ease of drivability, the Ascendant will extract truly dynamic performance from amplifiers possessing only moderate power output levels building vast and open soundstaging vistas.

Transparency and imaging clarity have the the defining hallmarks of all Avalon Acoustics transducers for 20 years; with the powerfully concise Ascendant we have added yet another brilliant example of this heritage to our proud stable of products.

All Avalon Acoustics loudspeakers are designed and built to the highest standards in the audio industry. Hand assembled by dedicated craftsmen and technicians, each loudspeaker is measured and matched for perfect symmetry and coherency. Before leaving the factory our masterpieces are subjected to a demanding array of quality control and testing procedures to assure flawless and consistent performance.
