As long as you have a 4wd truck or something with awd you are good to go. Lol. The really cold spells are what gets tough. Double digit negative temps are no fun. Usually get a week or 2 stretch of that.

The Sierra-2 will have better detail and clarity but the 340 has 5db higher sensitivity. So you just need more amplifier power to reach the same output levels with the Sierra-2. Also the driver arrangement (MTM vs MT) may have some difference in the sound. Almost forgot, the maximum output capability for the 340 is higher than the Sierra-2, so that's something to consider if you like to play things really loud. For my listening, the Sierra-2 is plenty loud.
Curious as to your thoughts once you hear them, but if you listen at moderate volume I think you might find the S2's will give you plenty of detail without the need for lots of volume.
With all that brick you may want to consider some room treatment. I really like LA Sound Panels in Burbank. Good folks and great prices.
Hi jay,
Well I listened to the s2’s at ascend ab’d to the towers with nrt and I liked the towers more. The midrange sounded less “stressed” if that makes sense. I discussed with my wife about just being done with it, and getting 3 horizons and she started crying because she says they’re big and ugly 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I got the Sierra 2’s home and ab’d them with the 340’s (turning up the Sierra 2’s a little obviously to compensate for their decreased sensitivity) and they are clearly more transparent than the 340se’s but the 340se’s presented a more “full” “larger” “bigger” sound. So I gained a little but gave up a little it seems. I’m going to rerun ypao on my Yamaha 681 tomorrow. I tried to do it today but it just kept giving me “error 1 no front speaker” but that’s a totally different story 🤯🤯🤬🤬🤬. I’m updating the firmeare now and if that doesn’t fix it, which I’m Assuming it won’t, I’m just gonna reset the whole receiver.
As for room treatments: There’s a 0% chance of that happening in the family room. I told her that it’s happening in the music room whether she likes it or not, but if she cries at the thought of 3 horizons in the fam room, no chance of treating the walls.
I’ll check back in once I get ypao re ran and listen to them a little more.

There are folks that can do custom panels with artwork that is either stock or things you can send them (ref: family room).
I'm in negotiations for custom panels for our living room. My wife is a photographer, and I'm hoping to send some of her images in and have panels made. Would be a gallery of sorts and make our room sound a whole lot better.
