I had the Aerius, Aeon, and Ascents (one after the other) in a 14 x 19 feet room. The speakers were on the short side with 8 feet from center-to-center of the panels slightly toed in and 4 feet from the front wall. The Ascents gave me what I was looking for during that time. On this set up, the things that worked for me where...

1.) curtains (heavy) on the front wall with ficus trees on the corners.

2.) Mono block amps that have at least 180 wpc on 8 ohms and double at 4.

3.) The "flaslight" method of determining the toe in required.

4.) Stereo subs (if you really want big bass!) with a cabinet volume equal or close to the cabinet volume of the woofer section of the Ascents.

Things that did not worked for me were...

1.) Bi-wiring. I tried acoustic Zen Holograms, Nordost, and Analysis plus. I ended up to single wire with the best jumpers (Acoustic Zen) I can get and the main cable connected to the panel section.

2.) REL and Vandersteen subwoofers.

3.) Solid State preamps. It made the sound "tizzy" in my set up.

4.) Power Cord upgrades. I never heard a "real" improvement swapping power cords on the Ascents. In the electronics, yes, not on the speakers.
