Sierra Horizon (Sierra Tower Center)

Yes, same RAAL as the Tower (looking at both products on their site). Looks like the tweeter can be reoriented so they can be stood vertically (lower right picture on the Horizon page). Close on the specs (towers are about 3 hz lower).

Can't answer the sales question though. I do recall someone posting about using these as LR, but believe they kept them Horizontal.

Yes the RAAL tweeters are rotated 90 degrees if you orient the Sierra Horizons vertically. It’s best to give Ascend a call when buying to let them know how you’re going to stand them vertically, so they can rotate the tweeters.

I’m planning on buying a pair of NrT Sierra Horizons in Black Matte oriented vertically later this year. Looking forward to their mid range performance, especially when watching TV Chromecast and my PC. And since I don’t use subwoofers with the Sierra-2s, the added bass extension of the Sierra Horizons will be welcome. Just going to buy them one speaker at a time too, that’s the affordable way to get Sierra Towers performance.

Talked to Dina and put my order in yesterday! Looks like I'll be seeing it the end of March, which is right around my birthday. I've been using a Sierra 2 as my temporary center for now and it's working very nicely. Cant wait to see how the Horizon performs. I won't have to be afraid to turn it up a little bit anymore tho!

Thanks for getting your order in!!! You will love the Horizon

So... if a guy were to find a really good deal on a Horizon with the NrT what would he be looking at to upgrade to the RAAL..?

It requires woodworking skills to do the upgrade yourself. Dave's recommendation would be to send it in for them to do it.

It's actually a very difficult job. It is more complex than simply swapping tweeters as it also requires the crossover to be changed. This will require some internal cabinet modifications to the tweeter cutout (woodworking), soldering and desoldering. I don't recommend even attempting this unless you have good woodworking skills, a router, and decent soldering skills.

Honestly, it is best to let us handle this.
