AVForums’ Editor’s Choice awards for 2023/24, which celebrate the truly outstanding products reviewed over the last twelve months, includes two for our partners at Ascendo Immersive Audio.
The award for ‘High-End Home Cinema Speakers’ goes to a 5.1 system of ‘The TEN’ speakers as LCRs, ‘The SIX’ speakers as surrounds, and The 12 SUB. Scoring a maximum 10 for value for money in the original review, the system “is deeply impressive at any price and translates to a system that was simply just cruising at reference levels in our room. Cinematic events had a dramatic scale, impact and – fundamentally – realism and the sonic landscape was rich in spatial detail, adding to the immersive experience.”
The experience also gave AVF the opportunity to hand Ascendo its Home Cinema Subwoofer gong for 2023/24 “having never heard a subwoofer at this price point hit anywhere near as hard before”.
