    Thanks.


    I have a $ question; Are the Sierra-1 tweeters, woofers and crossovers worth any money on the second-hand market to help offset the cost of the kits at $816.00?

    To those who did the upgrade, were you able to sell the 1's successfully?

    I'm thinking I could get at least $400.00 is for my 1's leaving less than $1000.00 to come up with for a brand new set.

    Thanks

    I doubt you would be able to sell the Sierra-1 parts, but selling a pair of Sierra-1 on the used market should be relatively easy.

    Is Ascend still buying back Sierra-1 parts?

    We ended that about a year ago. The parts really had zero value to us and with shipping costs getting higher and higher, it just became not worth it for customers.

    Kevin,
    Just finished an LCR S1 to S2 upgrade. Between your pics, the written instructions, and the YT videos, it was a smooth project and enjoyable. The fun starts now as I am working back through my SACD and movie libraries!
    Thanks to you and the helpful folks at Ascend (aka Amy).
    Cheers,

    That's awesome, glad to hear it! The S2 is really something else, and it sounds that much sweeter when you apply your own elbow grease.

    The S2EX upgrade instruction sheet refers to this thread for Video links. But all I can find is the S1->S2 videos. Am I missing something?

    I'm rather surprised to learn that the driver connections are not silver soldered, in order to reduce contact resistance to a minimum, and to eliminate fretting corrosion.
    Would it hurt the drivers at all to solder the leads as opposed to using crimp spades?
    Thanks
