The Sentinels are a range of elegant medium sized two-way floorstanders with a single high performing woofer and tweeter, but all the clarity, control and extended range of some of the larger series -- just a little less power. All Ascension speakers use a similar very smooth and unique type of high performing crossover design, adapted and fine-tuned, of course, to the various two-way or three-way driver configurations and power requirements. This is what gives Ascension High Resolution Speakers their consistency and superb detail across the whole range, along with other unique design features - including Transmission Line cabinets.
These two way floorstanders are made with quality parts and represent great value. They allow for a small footprint and represent an elegant solution to your audio needs.

Comments:
superb quality sound in a smaller floorstander, for smaller rooms than
the 852 if used alone, but its midrange precision makes it a perfect
choice front and/or rear even in very large systems with one of our
high performing subwoofers. With the option of transmission line bass loading
and ribbon tweeters for an extra $200.

Comments: quality sound and good design in a smaller floorstander for
smaller rooms. A complete package, and very satisfying at this
price where it compares to (and is usually a little better than) common
name brand speakers normally costing double the price--or more.
