Well all I can say is I am thankful I got my ASG 2.5s because none of their new line has the 14.2mm dynamic anymore

I just have to type this: I can't think of a more deserving person for this to happen to in such a big way than Dale Lott. Dale is one of the nicest and most genuine people I have (personally) met from head-fi.org. Well, he's simply one of the nicest people I've met period. And he's simply an engineering genius.
 
Now, I would never profess to know much about the science and mathematics that goes into creating a stunning audiophile and sonically satisfying audio product. I just know what sounds good to me and how to express that with words. There have been occasions, however, where I needed to be a little bit more technical in my descriptions - I am a journalist by trade. So I would ask Dale to break some audio concepts and ideologies down for me. Dale never made me feel as if my questions were beneath him or that he was too elitist to talk to me (if he had the time, which translates into him making some time for people like me). He took his time to help me understand the science that goes into his products (i.e.configuration of drivers, materials chosen, concept of burn-in, how we hear things as humans, etc.). Journalists have to become quick (semi) experts on various subjects. I couldn't have had a better teacher and instructor than Dale.
So congratulations again, Dale, to you and your team. And please stay in the game. This hobby and industry needs more people like you. What a great thread!!! Happy listening!!!

WOAH!
 
Congrats, Dale and company. Does this mean that the Bravo line was like a beta test? Is the harmony now obsolete, with the new lineup out?

2.5 were outboard since Bravo series have arrived last year.

I Like the bass dial on the asg 2.5 and they are highly praised on Basshead forum. Thanks.

Think of it as a limited edition run.

Still interested to see what the retune will sound like. At least I know that the tech and the ears behind the sound will be very solid.

I still don't feel the fender logo.

Congrats and best wishes, Dale! This is great news! I'm very much looking forward to this line and where Fender will go forward with it in the future.

 

[jant71]

Congrats Dale!! Good luck and certainly will be interesting to hear how things sound now

Mazel Tov Dale and the team at AS!
 
Wondering how this may affect my recent order of AS 2.5 customs as well as their other currently available offerings.
 
Also, how does that $99 model sound?!

I seldom, if ever, think IEM's "look cool" but these just do it for me! I've always loved Fender products and this marriage should be awesome for music enthusiasts and musicians alike.

Nice move Dale. Will Fender also takeover the Custom business side of the house?  Would love a sunburst wood face plate to match that to my Made in USA Fender Strat.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

Aw snap. Big Fender fan here so this is very cool news for AS. They seemed to be expanding at a crazy rate so the Fender acquisition makes a lot of sense in terms of growth. What does this mean for the warranty of AS' previous offerings tho?

I want to review the FXA7 Pro, using my Mustang as the backdrop.

 

[Mimouille]

Hums, seems like a rebranding of the Bravo series. I was only mildly impressed by the Harmony, so we will see what these add...

 

[Jack Vang]

This is incredible Dale! I'll be sure to stop by and congratulate you!
