Hehe - we don't even know what they cost yet and Curtis is already planning them for his surrounds. :)Quote:

For securing the speaker to a stand or just for your own personal usage (if you build a stand, or just want to secure the speaker to something). I have found it a convenient feature.Quote:

Is it a possibility for the 200s, 170s, and 340s to recieve the same cabinet tretment as the Sierra? Perhaps as an option?
The plan right now is to keep the V-LAM cabinets as a higher end option. V-LAM production is S-L-O-W. The 200s, 170s and 340s would definitely benefit from the technology - but I am uncertain if the higher retail pricing would be appropriate.Quote:

Yeah...I know...just thinking ahead! :)Quote:
