    Sorry... last night was an early one for me (needed it)

    Each woofer weighs 6 tenths of a pound more -- the tweeter is 1/10 lb more.

    A single 200SE weighs 1.3 pounds more than the original 200.

    The speaker is not rear ported.. Sealed enclosure, absolutely no change to the cabinet.

    So 16.25% increase in weight. The Sony can take it.

    Thanx Dave. I may be interested in sending my 200's in for the SE upgrade depending on what it would cost compared to a pair of new ones. Please let us know when you have the details on that.

    Wow, I don't know how I've missed this thread, but I think I've found the perfect surround speaker for the theater. Something small and not too deep is needed since the column size will be limited (the room is only 14 feet wide), and these look perfect. Thanks, Dave F!!!!!

    Dave, any word on its output capabilities as compared to 170SE?
    Is the sensitivity going to be the same as 200 classics?

    Oh, I'm all over this upgrade. They're only a few months old (and only a month in service) but I would be happy to upgrade to blend with the Sierra fronts better and lower the crossover down to 80 Hz or so. That would be very nice.

    If anyone is looking to buy new 200SE's instead of upgrading their old ones...I'm looking for a nice pair of classics:

    Overall output capability, assuming an 80Hz crossover, will be extremely close between the two. The 170SE still has an edge and is, of course, capable of deeper bass response and more warmth. Sensitivty of the 200SE remains the same as the original 200.
