I have a Sierra-1 NRT + HSU combo for music only. Hope to upgrade to the Sierra-2 in the very near future. I actually got a pair of Harbeth P3SER to upgrade the midrange from the Sierra NRT. When I got them home, they sounded small compared to the Sierra NRT and the difference in the mid range was not enough to justify the large premium. I returned them the next day. Taught me a good lesson and made me appreciate how good the Sierra's really are.
