That must be the Ray Montford CD, "Shed Your Skin". I love that disc. When I listen to speakers, I now always bring that disc with me.

In reply to:

Wow, i never thought i would come across another Ray Montford fan in this lifetime. Thought he was too obscure.
Interesting.
Another funny thing is, i'm not the fan being referred to.

chesse,
I learned about Ray Montford through Hsu Research. They used one of the tracks from "Shed Your Skin" in a demo I heard at their offices. I then went off and ordered the disc. Everyone that I have played it for has loved it.
I also have his latest one, but I do not think it is quite as good as "Shed Your Skin". Any of his other discs do you think are as good?

Ascend speakers are pretty darn efficient. If I remember correctly, the 340's are even more efficient than the 170's. Curtis?

They may be. I don't generally trust specs, but I have read many reviews on the Ascends, Rockets, and Axioms before deciding to try the Axioms first. I kept them because I liked them so much. The reviews all say the M80s play very efficiently. The reviews of the Ascends (that I have seen) all place it in the 90db/1W/1m area, considerably less than what I read on the Axioms, and just slightly higher than the Rockets. Just wondering how the Ascends are not only more efficient, but 4dbs to boot! I know you guys are talking about the M60s, but I would have thought the M60s would have been 3 to 4db louder than the Ascends, judging from the reviews I read and the comments people on other forums have made.

Yeah...the 340's are even more efficient.
When we had the budget speaker listening session out here earlier in the year, I remember reading the efficiency rating for the M22's and the CBM-170's, and expecting the M22's to sound louder. It was not the case. I do not remember how much louder 170's were, but it was not a minuscule amount.
Will...the specs you have seen in reviews, were they manufacturer specs or third party? I know the specs that Ascend lists for their products are as measured by a third party.

I didn't look at specs for either....just used the SPL to compare. And yes, the CD was Shed your skin....we all liked what we heard of it....it's a good combination of lots of instruments mixed together....interesting stuff.
