Re: Right height for bookshelves
While music will be about half my use, they'll also be used (with a matching Sierra 2 center and a sub) for home theater. My tv and all components are black, which is why I'm leaning towards saying black, but the bamboo looks great and they're on sale...
Re: Right height for bookshelves
Which of the finishes for the Sierra 2 are made in the US? It sounds like the natural bamboo is, what other ones are? That would certainly be a priority for me!

The domestic made Sierra-2 cabinets are available in the same exact finishes as the towers and horizons.
Domestic made cabinets:
Satin Espresso
Satin Cherry
Natural
Black Matte
Satin Black Bamboo
Standard cabinets:
Piano Black
Natural
Satin Dark Cherry
Satin Dark Espresso
All Sierra-2 cabinets presently offered on our website are for the standard cabinets. For domestic cabinets, simply give us a call (they do cost slightly more)

I use these stands and I love them. They come in 4 different heights.

Hey sludgeogre,
I'm liking those Pangea stands. They appear to have a good design at a reasonable price.
Question; How do you feel about the stability of these stands with your Sierras? I see the top plates are only 6x6 inches square.
I have the Sierra 1's in Piano Black and currently have them on the TP-24 stands which have been fine. However, I think my Sierras will look a touch classier on metal pedestal stands while raising them to the 26 inch height. This topic and discussion is very useful to me!
btw, I plan to upgrade, one way or the other, to the 2's in the next year; possibly via kits.

They are immensely stable and sturdy. They take a little while to put together, but are very high quality. Pangea has gone through a couple design iterations on their stuff and it's the best it has been right now. Most stands like this are all 6x6 top plates. I have had even larger speakers on top plates like this and it has never been an issue for me.

Awesome! Thanks for your reply. I think they'll look better and the slight elevation will be a plus.
