Ok so IMHO, the 340SE will work great then. I was listening to them again yesterday and they again surprised and blown me away.. I was demoing some very heavy bass material (link in my Sierra measurement thread, kawai kenji), and I was honestly expecting the 340SE not to perform as well as they did. I was really surprised. Really amazing. These will really compete about 1000$ (1500$ in other cases
) full floorstanders with 6-8 inch woofers and really not end up short.
The highs are definitely not accentuated nor harsh. But they're there, crisp, fantastic.
Just a superb speaker for the money... Really can't go wrong.
I was fantasizing while listening to the 340SE how it would be with a good sub, or with 8 inch Dayton woofers (or something) on top and bottom of each 340SE in a WMTMW, and actually seriously thought about making it happen.. LOL Maybe encasing the 340SE speaker itself, with a cabinet on top/bottom, active crossover, dual amplification...
That would definitely be a crazy project and a sick result... Maybe one day...
Oh, and in the Sierra Tower thread, I also rambled on about the 340SE vs Totems... might be an interesting read if you missed it! 340SEs are really not so little gems
