High value, giant killer speakers?

I just purchased a pair of Ascend Acoustics CBM340SE and TP24 stands which I filled with 60lbs of kiln dried sand and I am impressed to say the least. For $716 including shipping and $15 for 120lbs of sand I got a bargain! I own Revel, Canton,ADS, Polk, KEF,  HSU Research and Fluance as well and I have to say that these speakers are my favorites so far, and they have a terrific midrange response. If there is truth to break in I can't wait for that if they sound this good out of the box!

To dave123456 and thecarpathian  Thank You for your kind response. I have a pair of the CBM170 and that is what inspired me to try the 340's. In my opinion with all things considered with customer service being one of them Ascend Acoustics delivers the best value and service I have ever seen. The products that they offer provide excellent value, and they stand behind them 100%. With a 30 day trial period and bomb proof shipping I don't see how you could go wrong.
