Hey everyone, I thought I’d revisit this and let everyone know how it played out.
So I bought the Sierra 2’s and replaced the cmt 340’s for a week. Put the 340’s back in and thought I liked them more, then swapped in the Sierra 2’s again. At that point there was no going back to the 340’s. The detail and imaging was incredible the second time around.
This weekend I moved the Sierra 2’s away from the walls, and got my uxl 18 installed with an inuke 3000dsp. I had to custom make the enclosure to fit in a cabinet so it’s 100% stealth. I sprayed it with high gloss white cabinet paint. After dealing with some Yamaha receiver issues (I hate Yamaha after having only and pioneer avr’s), this setup sounds absolutely, ridiculously amazing. The Sierra 2’s more than keep up with the sub and with my big room. I mean it is absolutely amazing. I can’t say how much of It was moving them away from the side walls vs the sub, but man, it’s breathtaking. Super stoked! Thanks Dave and Dina for dealing with my eccentricity.
