I can't fathom this concept from a bookshelf speaker, no distortion in the highs?! (at least that's what I'm reading). I'm so anal about things like this, now I'm thinking about saving up for the 2s, despite them being out of my price range. But, then again, what's more satisfying than listening to the quality of sound that is exhilarating, euphoric. Congratulations.
The tweeter in the CBM-170SE (as opposed to the ones that were in the "classic" CBM-170) would also be an improvement in that regard.

That said...I think the Sierra-2's are VERY special.
