Squeezebox Touch (source)
Oppo 981 DVD player for SACD & DVD_Audio
Rythmik D-15SE sub EQ'ed very flat with Behringer FD
Brandon: If I remember correctly you are using Sierra-1s (non-Nrt) as your surrounds, how do you have them placed - wall mounted or on stands? After few emails back and forth to Dave and advice from Cutris I might just stick with direct radiating/monopoles for my surrounds instead of dipoles and ideally would like Sierra-1s as surrounds if I go with monopoles to match new towers but not sure about the look of wall mounted Sierra-1s due to their depth.

You are correct. They are wall mounted using the Btech77 mounts. They make great surround speakers for Multi Ch music and Blu-ray movies.
See this thread for more info and pics....

The midrange looks very similar to a Tangband full range driver.

Very nice and I will be the first to offer my home for some R&D listening time. :D
I have the very last picture from the first post as my external wallpaper on my phone. My previous pic was the Sierra 1 so I'm gonna have to pull rank and let the tower pic run the show for now...

Re: The Tower Discussion Thread!

Congrats is in order to you! I can see it now, "Honey, let me go fill that wine glass for you" as you sneak into the office and view the "Tower Thread".
:D
Re: The Tower Discussion Thread!
Wow... Congrats Dave on a very fine, classy looking speaker! The piano black finished bases also look great and seem to add quite a nice touch, really looks top notch...
Any ETA on the for sale date? How much is shipping going to run on these? Any guesstimates for shipping costs to Canada?
