    I know these are much more expensive, but want to know how close to those I could get with the upgrade....

Done! Can't wait to hear 'em!
    sbeveraggi,

    I would say SunByrne has summed up my personal opinion between the two quite well. I will add that the Sierra-1 NrT has a cleaner, more open and transparent midrange than the stock Sierra-1 and the new tweeter provides about as much sizzle and crispness that is possible without sound harsh. I would place it somewhere in between the stock Sierra-1 tweeter and the Studio 20 tweeter. It is not metal so it won't have the same amount of sizzle, but it also will not suffer from ringing, which is why metal domes -- even the best of them -- can sound fatiguing over time, especially at loud volume levels.

    Anybody in the SoCal area interested in hearing the Sierra NrT and the prototype tower?

    We are planning a listening session for Sunday, August 29th at Ascend. Other speakers will be welcomed as well.

    What kind of timeframe are you looking at on the towers? Dont need eact numbers, just a general timeframe. I said a few years ago, after i bought some of the 340s and 170s, that if you guys ever made some towers i would buy a set of them. Knowing now that you are working on some gets me all excited!

    Are we looking at seeing some within the next month or two...six months...within the next year? Or are they a couple years out for consumers?

    Thanks,
    Lucas

    As I said elsewhere, I'm planning on coming. Any particular time in mind?

    I hate quoting time frames because it then causes additional pressure to hit that deadline and we are going all-out with this product. To quote a classic, we will get there when we get there

    Seriously though, 6 months sounds about right.

    Many have asked us about this and while I can't say for sure at this point in time, I will say that we are indeed evaluating a few different designs...

    Hi Girgle,

    The Sierra-1 will not change at all. There will be an option to add the upgraded tweeter and crossover thus turning the Sierra-1 into the Sierra-1 NrT. In addition, the NrT upgrade kit will be available to all Sierra-1 owners, thus turning their Sierra-1 into Sierra-1 NrT.

    With regard to the tower, someone who has been waiting for a very long time suggested calling it the Sierra RT (as in reference tower) I like the name but we haven't finalized anything yet.

    Yeah. It's been quite a while. I'm looking forward to this.
