    Question User install RAAL upgrade for towers?

    10 seconds after posting this I find the answer, of course. Mods, please delete this post!

    I searched but found nothing to answer this simple question: is a user installed RAAL possible for the Sierra towers?

    This may be simplistic on my part but I see the upgrade for the bookshelves and my brain says "why not?"

    I love them in NrT form but upgrade-itis is a thing...

    Not for the Tower. The cabinet requires modifications.

    While the standard tower will require cabinet modifications, I believe you could purchase the components and perform the upgrade yourself IF you are competent with woodworking. Best to give Ascend a call and explore your options.

    I would replace them outright before trying to do this myself.

    While we have had a few customers perform this upgrade themselves, it is actually quite complex and will require the use of a router and soldering skills. It is recommended that we do the upgrade for customers.

    Take care!

    Thanks Dave! We love the towers so much they're going somewhere previously unthinkable: the fancy living room. My wife has finally come around. I just ordered those b stock piano black Sierra 2's 5 seconds ago!

    Keep up the good work.
