Curtis,

After reading quite a few threads I have been impressed with your responses.

Is the tower mid speaker the same size as the bass so it would fit into the bookshelf?
Would this work as an option by giving more mid detail, while loosing some bass response?

I might rather save the $700 for the RAAL bookshelf & spend it on a sub.

Maybe it would be called the Sierra-1 M

I'd have to spend money for stands for the RAAL book shelves which would end up being the same foot print as the towers. I'd look at the towers as being less then $200 dollars & would probably opt for them.
