What pieces were you thinking could be upgraded?

My friend and I were talking about saving up for them. He already has the Sierra 2 but were wondering if the upgrade could be done to the towers. If I understand it correctly the towers is a Sierra 1 with 2 extra woofers. Theoretically it should be able to be done. Imagine the towers with the 2EX upgrade it would be out of this world. Just a convo that came up and thought I'd start a thread about it.
the drivers in the standard Tower are different than in the Sierra-1, and is a 3-way speaker while the Sierra-1 is a 2-way.Quote:

Second, while the woofers in the Tower look the same as the woofer in the Sierra-1, they are different.
The standard Sierra-1 and standard Tower don’t have any drivers in common. The Sierra-1 NRT has the same tweeter as the standard Tower.

The tower is a 3-way speaker, with a dedicated midrange driver in a sealed enclosure. It has 2 bass woofers that do look similar to the single woofer in the Sierra-1, but they are not the same nor or they interchangeable. The dome version of the Sierra Tower also uses our NrT dome, which is an overall higher performance tweeter compared to the tweeter in the Sierra-1.
We already offer a RAAL ribbon upgrade for our Sierra Tower, but this is actually a different RAAL ribbon tweeter than what is used in the Sierra-1 to Sierra-2/2EX upgrade. The tower uses a customized version of the RAAL 70-20xram, which is a higher performance ribbon tweeter compared to the RAAL we use in the Sierra-2/Sierra-2EX.
Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
Well I guess i didn't know what the hell I was talking about. Sounds like the towers are a completely different animal. I hope to own them one day!
They are very impressive speakers and we are here for you if you have any questions.Quote:
