Re: sierra 2 EX > sierra raal towers
I don't agree that the 2EXs are better—I found the Towers to have better mids, both clearer and more detailed—but I will agree that the 2EXs are a better deal. Mind you, this is not because the Towers are overly expensive but because the 2EXs are just crazy cheap for what they are. I think the two price/performance standouts in the Ascend lineup are the HTM-200s and the S-2EXs.
Luna Duo V2 LR, Titan Horizon V2, and Rythmik L22 & L12 in HT, Sierra-LXs in study, S-2EXs and Duo V2 C in bedroom, S-1 NrTs in dining room, S-1s at work, HTM-200s in kitchen. Brother owns CMT-340s and dad has a pair of CBM-170s.
