Greetings,
New to the forum, longtime lurker/stalker on the website.
I think I am finally going to make the move to normalize my LCRs. Currently I have all B&W LCRs, but the LRs are 20-year-old 803 Series IIs, and the C is an FCM8. For a while I was looking to acquire two additional FCM8s to use for the LRs, but I never acted on that impulse, and the well seems to have gone dry - I don't see those on the secondary market any more. I know, I could probably wait it out, and something would show.
But... I was always taken by the look and specs of the CMT-340s, and thought that a trio of those as LCRs would suit me nicely.
So, as I begin to work on my short list, I return to the AA website. I guess it has been a while, because the various Sierra offerings are new to me. Alas, for the same reason that I had always leaned toward the CMT-340s the Sierra towers are excluded. Mounting the L+Rs in space, to the left and right of the screen, is a must for me, so towers are out.
And, now to my question: I am wondering if anyone knows if AA has toyed with offering their new ribbon tweeter as an upgrade to the CMT-340?
I don't know if it is even possible, not knowing the form factors of the two tweeters (i.e., the stock CMT-340 tweeter vs. the ribbon tweeter). Obviously, the crossover would have to change, but would the ribbon tweeter fit into the same space as the stock tweeter?
Anyone?
Thanks.

p.s. Lack of such an upgrade would not diminish my interest in the CMT-340s, but, on the other hand, if that upgrade were available, my interest might be even greater
