Over the past few weeks my wife and I have been looking for a pair of bookshelves for music. We prefer just 2 channel music with no sub and have listened to the following (Paradigm S2, Dali Mentor 2, Dynaudio Focus 140/Contour 1.4S, B&W 805S/705, PSB Platinum M2, Martin Logan Clarity/Summit, Vienna Acoustics Waltz/Haydn Grand, Aerial Acoustics Model 5B). Out of all the speakers we listened we loved the Dali Mentor 2's the best with the PSB M2's a close second but the bass on one of the songs we used was just too much. We are fans of neutral sound across the board and we were wondering if the Sierra 1's have that type of sound. The songs we use to test to see if the bass is too overpowering is Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero tracks 2 and 4.
Reason I am asking is because I have heard great things about the Sierra 1's and that they are easily worth twice the price which puts them in the same league as the PSB M2's, B&W 805S, and Dali Mentor 2's. Do you Sierra 1 owners feel that the bass would be too much according to our findings when listening to the PSB M2's?
