Re: New: Sierra-2EX V2!!!
Wow Dave, Thanks! What a surprise to wake up to! I have the EX and have been considering the LX kit. Now I will be considering this upgrade. Possibly another Christmas upgrade!
A comment from an earlier post comparing the EX and LX stated;
"when the ES is better, it’s 20% better and when the LX is better, it’s 80% better."
I can only imagine that this crossover upgrade may change that percentage to; when the ES is better, it’s 40% better and when the LX is better, it’s 60% better. It may depend on the user’s listening habits..HT, Jazz, Classical, Rock etc..
Very exciting!

Dave,
Great news! Although with my new amp, an Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra (see HERE), my 2EX has really opened up in the midrange/mid-bass regions, would be very interesting to hear what further improvements the new xover could make!!! :cool:

Nice review on the amp, Ted.

That might have been me—if it wasn't, it's certainly consistent with how I feel about the comparison.
I do think overall one of the things that makes the LX better is overall flatter FR—it doesn't have so much brightness baked in. If the new crossovers in the EX addresses this, well, that'd be something indeed.
I suspect the EX V2 still won't have the slam of the LX—there's only so much the EX woofer can do with that high crossover. Still, would be fun to check it out.
Re: New: Sierra-2EX V2!!!
Nice statement. I think it was quoted elsewhere too.
What we need now is a person who has both the EX and LX, then to upgrade their EX to the V2 and then do a comparison review! It will be fun and interesting!
Re: New: Sierra-2EX V2!!!
Thanks Dave - what do you think the cost of upgrading from 2EX to V2 would be? Is the update only a crossover replacement?
Are upgrades being planned to the towers?
Re: New: Sierra-2EX V2!!!
As to the Towers, Dave had alluded earlier (I recall in the LX thread) that something was in the works and advised not to sell the Towers...
Re: New: Sierra-2EX V2!!!
Since I've been thinking about whether to upgrade from the S2EX to the Towers, you can see where I'm on the fence waiting to see what happens next ;-)

More spacious sounding, a bit warmer with more detailed mids, and a slight touch of added midbass :)
