Re: Need advice: Sierra-2EX or Sierra Tower for my bed room
Having heard both, I can say the the RAAL version of the Tower is a better overall speaker than the EX. This is particularly evident in the midrange. The EX is amazing, but it's still a two-way.
The real question, IMO, is whether the difference in performance is worth the difference in price. Lowest price for EXs: $1648 + shipping. Lowest price for RAAL Towers: $2898 + shipping. Shipping internationally probably doesn't help this. So we're talking something not too far from double the price.
So, if your goal is the best sound and you're not particularly price-sensitive, I'd get the Towers. I will probably eventually get a pair myself, but no hurry there. We'll see what Dave and the rest of the market cook up over the next few years.
But if you're willing to sacrifice a little performance to cut the price almost in half, it's hard not to just go with the EXs. I would argue the EXs are one of the best deals in audio today (the on-sale S1 is way up there, too). Crazy good, not expensive—that's a combo that's hard to beat.
