Hey Curtis,
nice to to hear from you.
Good point about the ports. I had thought of that earlier, but had forgotten. Besides that, then, there would be little audible difference between the two choices, especially with a subwoofer. I’ll have to wait for the finished product, and make my decision then.

Speaker looks awesome Dave. I’m available to beta test if needed. :D

Ooh, good idea.

With a depth of only 5.75" and being front ported, these are ideal for customers looking for an ultra high performance on-wall speaker, or for use in/on a TV console or entertainment center.

Depends, for flush mounting we will be offering the hardware. For attaching to a bracket, really any bracket that can work with a 1/4-20 threaded insert.

Knowing that the Sierra Diamond is $7500/pr, what would you pay for these?
Re: New for 2016 - Introducing the Luna Mini Monitor!
They would no doubt be priced @ beaucoup and a nerd but making a couple of assumptions I doubt they'd much more than a Sierra Diamond:
1> A Sierra custom Excel woofer is probably a tad more expensive than a W123CY003
2> A Luna LCR is probably going to cost about the same as a Sierra II + a scoach
So if I'm willing to spring for a Sierra Diamond but I have a personal preference for a miniaturized flush mounted speaker why not consider a Luna Diamond?
Honestly it's too soon for me to jump on the Luna LCR Diamond and assuming Dave is willing to accommodate the following custom's, a huge assumption, all of them are on my list of possibilities.
Luna LCR RAAL
Luna LCR RAAL + W123CY003's
Luna LCR Diamond + W123CY003's
Sierra II RAAL
Sierra II RAAL + Custom SEAS Excel Woofer
Sierra Diamond + Custom SEAS Excel Woofer
I'm planning to purchase speakers at the end of Q1 CY19 and I'd see it as a rare and welcome privilege to own any of the these speakers but until Q1 I'm staying open minded.
