Introducing the Luna Mini Monitor!

Any new updates on Luna LCR or Luna Duo as I would call it :-)

We will be officially calling this speaker the Luna Duo (LCR became to confusing). I am happy to report that cabinets are now in production and the crossover has been finalized. Still a few more items to deal with (packaging, labels etc) but everyday is one more day closer

Exciting! Really looking forward to it!

Hi, just joined this forum because I've decided to upgrade to the Sierra Lunas for my L/C/R in my 5.1.2 home theater setup (surrounds are ceiling mounted Focal Birds and Atmos is 5 1/4" in-ceiling coax). I'm only sitting about 8' to 9' away from my L/C/R and will be using a 15" Rythmik ported subwoofer (my HT area is just the 10' x 10'x corner of a larger 17' x 36' family room). I intend to offload as much bass as possible to the subwoofer (automatic EQ calibration will be set by my Denon AVR Audyssey XT32) so I expect the crossover point to be somewhere between 80 Hz and 110 Hz.

Question: Luna Center or Luna Duo?
With all that in mind, will I hear improvements with the upcoming MTM Luna as center if my cutoff is set so high? Or is the difference more about improved audio dispersion covering a wider seating area?

I can’t comment on what you asked about specifically, since I haven’t A/B’ed both speakers. But, the Luna Duo should have a higher sensitivity and thus be capable of more output than the Luna. This is nice for home theater use, however you are sitting pretty close to them, so it likely depends on how loud you listen to movies to see a benefit there.

For the center, I would actually recommend the forthcoming Duo. It has more midbass punch and improved dynamics compared to the Luna. These are characteristics that we have found to be quite important for center channel performance.

Hope this helps!

Does the duo have a mounting thread (Or threads) for mounting to the wall? How much do they weigh?

Yes, the Duo has (2) 1/4-20 threaded inserts on the back for simple wall mounting.

I'm really looking forward to the Luna Duo! I currently run a Sierra-2 center with tower fronts and Luna surrounds - medium room with seating 13' from center. I've thought about custom ordering a Horizon that can fit in my Salamander cabinet (19.75W x 9"H) but have never gone through with it. Any thoughts on replacing the S2 center with the Duo?

I'm considering the same (Duo for S2) so am also interested in any thoughts.

Dave answered this question a couple of pages back in this thread.

Ran these tests today, it is a much better center than the Sierra-2, especially if using a subwoofer. I'll share a comical pic in a little while.
