    Thanks for the input, Dave. Do you think the Sierra Tower woofers will be OK on high SPL climaxes? I do worry about the distortion in that ~100-250Hz range at those levels.

    There are a lot of variables to this. How far back will you be sitting from the speakers? What is your room gain like? Here at our facility, we have had no issues running the towers combined with subs reaching 110dB+ You will likely want to cross the speakers to the sub between 80-100Hz, to maximize volume level capabilities.

    Room is 15.5' x 13.5' x 8'. Seat will be about 7-8' away from the front L/R speakers. Speakers will be about 4' from the back wall and 2-3' from the side-walls.

    Thanks for replying, at only 7-8' away, you will have absolutely no issues playing at reference level with our towers, provided you have the wattage to do so.
