    Aw man! Those look beautiful!

    Are those piano black? I kinda see a hint of dark brown, sort of like an espresso finish but don't know if it is a reflection on the speaker...

    BTW, what is that huge center speaker that's holding your TV? Will you be replacing that setup with the S2s?

    That huge center speaker looks like an old Rocket "Big foot". Should be a nice upgrade to the Sierra-2!

    I almost went black but all of my speakers for the last 25 years have been black.. Tired of it and wanted the natural bamboo.. The wait is going to drive me nuts.

    I have had natural bamboo Sierra-1's since they first came out...7 years ago. Love them!

    But if and when I go to Sierra-2's...I might just get new ones in the black bamboo to change things up.

    I think they would go well with my custom stands. Here's an old pic:

    I didn't think about the color stands that I will need. I wonder if anyone has a pick of the Bamboo Sierra's on top of the black Ascend stands.. That might not look right in my eye.

    I am thinking that since I ordered the natural bamboo that a normal VTI brand black speaker stand would look good. The Ascend stand that makes it look like a tower with the natural is not my taste..
    I think if I were to g with the Ascend stands that I would need to call Dina and change my color order..

    You must hear a speaker for yourself and form your own opinion.
    I did not like the 50's at all. I honestly thought that the **** system in my son in laws car sounded better. I was very shocked at what I heard. I was going to buy five of these and had my mind made up that these were my new speakers. Very lucky that a trip out of town gave me the chance to hear them for myself.
    I hooked up my five new Sierra 2's about three hours ago and can honestly say that I am blown away.
    IMHO, the sierra 2 is the better speaker by a LONG SHOT.
    So THAT'S where all the Sierra 2's have gone! Gosh what a nice haul there Hlam. Lookin' good for sure.

    I've heard the LS50s on a couple of occasions at audio shows. I thought the look was great - very original. Sound was quite good as well, although I was a little underwhelmed compared to the reviews I read. What can one expect in a hastily set up hotel room though.

    Welcome aboard!
