    Have you checked to see if "0" is actually "reference" with a meter and test signals?

    If you like the sound quality of the speakers, run out of power(I suspect you won't), then you can look into a separate amp. Also, if you move to 15 to 20 ft...you are going to need a bigger TV too!

    Hi Clayton,

    If I might make a suggestion.... Investing in an SPL meter would be extremely worthwhile at this point. This way, you can quickly determine what levels you are actually listening at and from there, it would be easy to calculate how much power you need based on whatever distance you will be listening at.

    Hello Dave,

    Glad to see another happy Sierra customer. I too am closer to my decision in purchasing a 2 channel system. And the Sierras are at the top. However, it would be great if I could audition them. Is there such a thread as Owners audition list? I live in the Richmond, Virginia area and would love to hear them before purchase.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    And, Oh, thanks to Nuance's review which got my attention of the Sierras.

    We used to have a Frappr thread, but Frappr is now dead.

    Try starting a new post and posting in the AVS thread.
