Introducing the Sierra-LX!!!

[JustABrah]

I will be posting more info on LX vs EX in the conclusion in about an hour or so. For anyone trying to decide between LX or EX, best to email me to discuss.

Much like everything else these days, we are just waiting on parts to be delivered for Duo V2

That’s exciting! I didn’t know it was already in the works! Thanks Dave, I look forward to hearing more.

Dave,

Are the first wave pre-release cabinets domestic or from over seas?

I would like to know this as well.

In for an Espresso order. I have 5 2EXs in my small home theater…happy to make a comparison.

At this time, Sierra LX can not be offered in our domestic cabinets.

Nice - thank you! I very much look forward to your feedback!

I should have mentioned I also have a pair of BMRs on order and own a pair of Buchardt S400s (which the LXs will be replacing). I’ll do a comparison with all of them.

Excellent! Of these three speakers, the LX has the lowest sensitivity so when doing these comparisons, you will likely have to bump up the volume by about 3dB to match.

Looking forward to hearing the LX! I still have Sierra-2's, so it will be interesting!

I will be needing to set up a system in another room, so this is coming at a good time.

The issue isn't with the NFS measurements (they are brutally accurate) - it is with the outdated inaccurate techniques used by other manufacturers, or just complete exaggeration. In our case, we have previously used accepted close micing of woofer and port, combined with proper weighted averages. (Stereophile measurements are a good example of this, and they also use a MLSSA system)

NFS measurements are the most accurate, by far.

The main thing I was interested in regard to the bass extension, is in comparison to the EX speakers. Another one of those concepts that are difficult for me to envision, is that the LX series are going to eclipse the EX series in this regard. Mind bender for me to imagine any area of the EX being eclipsed really.

I almost have to buy a set of these, the new tweeter has me curious to the point of distraction!
