Introducing the Sierra !!!

[Quinn]

Hey Quinn,

What are you doing up so early?

Do ya Like the name of the new speaker?

I don't think it is a typo, I was stating that the Sierra would realistically fit into any of those price points but because of the uniqueness of the speaker (which will be discussed) I really don't know at what price it belongs.

Reads OK to me but then again, it is LATE (just gave Nicole her nightly 3am bottle) You know the drill....

Maybe setting the beginning of the price part of with a comma instead of the thought periods/dots .... would make it easier for my feeble brain.

Wow DF, the Sierra looks great! Can't wait to read more about it and eventually get to buy a pair.

Fixed it for ya!

Okay....

Any guesstimates on driver size/origin? Most likely custom made for Ascend. What size is that woofer? Why is there no phase plug? Judging by the beefy looking surround, I'd say it has a pretty powerful bass response for it's size. I love the eyeball looking tweeter! What do the grills look like?

Are there 1 or 2 sets of binding posts for bi-wire/amping?

Considering that the drivers for the 170 and 340 are designed by Dave and custom made for Ascend I'm with you on guessing these are the same.

I think the grill is on in the top pix on the right speaker.

Fixed it for ya!

LOL!!!! Still sleepy, had to read it a few times.

Is there any b-stock available?

[dpristin]

This is just wrong... I'm trying to buy a house here!

[curtis]

Hmmm....Sierra-1?
2, 3, 4???

[JohnMichael]

Beautiful speaker! As a new CBM 170SE owner I am still impressed by the quality of sound and if these better the 170's I better start saving.

Dave have you thought about going with a different badge for this pretty speaker? I just don't think that rubbery plastic badge does justice to this new offering. (It's not even so hot on the older stuff. Just my opinion...)
