Dave, in all seriousness, I volunteer. I've heard (and owned) every iteration of this speaker, have heard the Towers there at Ascend, and still have S1s, S1 NrTs, and S2-EXs. (Also Duos.) I am confident I can talk about how the new LXs compare to all its brothers.
If you send me an upgrade kit I'll upgrade my current Sierra-1s and do the comparison. I'm on sabbatical right now so I have time to do a thorough listening comparison side-by-side with the S2-EXs. I'll run a variety of genres from classical to jazz to soundtracks to metal and punk. And you know I will write a long and comprehensive review.
Note that I'm not fishing for a free upgrade—I mean, I'd certainly take it, but I am willing to pay—but I am fishing for one to be sent right away since my sabbatical isn't going to be for too much longer.
What do you think, Dave?
