Re: Question: Sierra Towers with EX woofer
I know Dave has covered this somewhere, just don't know where........
Since the tower has a dedicated mid driver, it is optimized for the mid-range without needing to try covering the lower frequencies, so it uses a lighter cone than the EX. This gives the advantage to the tower mid. The woofers in the tower, though they LOOK identical to the Sierra-1 woofer, are not the same at all. They are actually 2 different woofers in the tower itself (Dave...correct me if I'm wrong), but neither one is the same as what's in the Sierra-1. Also, the larger RAAL in the tower allows it to be crossed lower than the smaller RAAL used in the Sierra-2 & EX.
Remember, the EX woofer was developed by SEAS for Dave to use with the very expensive SEAS White Diamond tweeter (@$6K for a pair).
