Un boxing - un packing New towers
Hi Dave, Dina everyone:
I would really like advice on something that should be so simple as un boxing my new
towers due to arrive tomorrow.
Problem is I have challenges in my lower back...and will more than likely have to solo
the unpacking process.
Do the speaker boxes have a recommended way to open them and slide out the towers.
Also I do not want to harm either the boxes or much less the towers.
Years ago I had no problem soloing my Beta 50s (60 lbs) out of their boxes, but that was 12 or more years ago.
Since then have purchased heavy items that given the low center of gravity I could slowly slide along the floor and get into position.
So advise is welcome.
Tomorrow is the big arrival day when Sierras will land. I am quite excited about this
Perhaps an FAQ could be added to assist others in this or similar predicament
Thank you in advance everyone.
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
Calling Sierra tower owners please chime in:
with how you approached the unboxing of your new tower speakers.
Do the boxes indicate where to open and how to remove the towers from boxes.
Please do weigh in and participate.
Thanks everyone.

If you don’t want to lift them out I’d open up the box, flip over so open portion faces down, lift the box off of them. Then remove protective foam and then erect them. :)
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
diesel thank you for chiming in...
This is probably how I would approach it...question though open boxes along the length of boxes or the end?
Opening lengthwise might be easier on my back ..then attach bases.
Perhaps this ole boy is making a sierra out of a molehill.
Like an expectant parent awaiting a new born..
appreciate your patience.
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
I’d open lengthwise. I don’t think it’s going to be anything difficult. :)
Can’t wait until I can get some towers. Although I’m leaning towards 3 RAAL Horizons in a custom console. My Horizon center is amazing.

Give us a call and speak with Dina or Joe, they would be happy to best advise you on this :)
Enjoy!!!
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
Thank you Dave....Dina...Joe,
I know you and your team would be most happy to "talk me through" on how best to go about
helping me get out of any jam I could get myself into.
It ain't funny McGee to have painful back defeciencies...but with the Lord's help...it'll get done
then we can all celebrate....
Thank you everyone, appreciate your contribution.
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
Thank you diesel once again,
I think length wise opening of box probably the seeming best way to go about what should otherwise be a simple task.
Thank you diesel for chiming in
Hope you will be able to get your raal towers soon.
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
Post some pics and first impressions when you get them all set up.
New speaker day is the best! :)
Re: Un boxing - un packing New towers
Hey diesel,
Gee your up early this am...wow
New speaker day it is....sometime today....like an expectant parent waiting for new baby arrival I suppose.
Will endeavor to take some pics...but rather cautious to post given the clutter of stuff ....more than likely will post the pics though.
Re-reading freesole's wonderful comparison to the Focal Aria 936s; (936s most likely have similar characteristics to my Beta 50s), I suspect my new towers will be leagues ahead above and beyond my
Beta 50s
Yes will endeavor to share my experience .02 as soon as I am able.
Listening to music last night... my Beta 50s gave me an awesome performance of all the things we love about this hobby. It will be sad to retire these 2 guys after so many years of great performances.
Thanks diesel
