Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
Short version: I would get the LX.
Very long version: Ascend Acoustics Sierra-LX vs. Sierra-2EX Comparison
I would still get the RAAL version of the Horizon, though. The NrT dome and the Titan dome in the LX are more different tonally than the Titan and the RAAL. The Titan is quite RAAL-like, tonally.
Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
Thanks for the suggestion and comparison post. The RAAL won't sound too far off with the NrT you think? I have no experience with these tweeters so I appreciate it.
Another question: How does the Duo LCR compare to the Horizon? Is the Horizon that much better to pay the difference? Would it still be a good fit with the LXs?
Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
Agree get the RAAL horizon...if possible...or LX center if you decide on the LX set for your LR...plus you'll save ~$150.00 on the LX vs. EX....which can bridge the gap somewhat for the horizon...if you can accommodate it size in your set-up...others have gone that route from duo...it's on another level .. IMO.
Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
After realizing that I simply can't fit the Horizon in my setup without changing tv stands and center placement, I now am looking at the Duo or the LX for my center instead of Horizon. Which do you think would sound better/match with the LR LXs? Assuming LX center would match better as it's the same speaker, but I'm just curious if the Duo would somehow provide a better center than the LX.

I'd defer this specific question to Dave... he'll likely give you the best advice....for your current path...not many LX centers in the wild...at this point...lol.
Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
If you can swing an LX center, I'd go that route.
I use a Duo center in my LX setup because I simply don't have the room for anything larger there. It works very well for its small size and is a good tonal match to the LXs, but it doesn't project the same scale / impact.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can indeed fit the LX as it's identical to my current center in height and depth.
Re: Sierra 2-EX vs Sierra LX
I have my LX center in a vertical orientation and it sounds great! Obviously not in the same league as my horizon raal but very good nonetheless. My advice, try and match the front 3 as closely as possible.

Thank you. I think I'll just go with the LX LR as well as LX center, but mounted horizontally.
