Something old is young again, introducing the Sierra-1 V2!!!

[redsandvb]

Oh right, yeah. I guess I meant one without paying for the tweeter again. Or are there differences between the Titan in the S1 V2 and LX? Thanks!

Same tweeter afaik

You make a good point, I imagine it would require a different crossover though as well.

I would imagine there will be a S1v2 to LX kit - crossover & woofer. You can also call Ascend and ask - they’d probably sell the parts assuming in stock

[davef]

I'm guessing there will eventually be a Sierra-1 V2 to LX upgrade kit too?

Yes, kit would be identical to current LX upgrade kit, but without the tweeter - since both the LX and Sierra-1 V2 now use the exact same tweeter.

Thanks for the info!

I am so impressed, Dave. What amazing value you are offering the customers. When paired with a high quality sealed subwoofer (or two) to delve down to the 20-30Hz even the LX can’t cover, you’re giving up almost nothing against a Sierra LX except flexibility to use without woofers and power handling.

And with the frequency response, it makes an even better near field monitor than the LX to avoid in-your-face low frequencies when the monitor is that close. I’ve always been a huge fan of the original Sierra tower woofers as the mid-frequency reproduction is the biggest strength, and I was actually hesitant to consider the LX or ELX when I could cover the lows with a sub.

Thanks for your nice comments!! yes, Sierra-1V2 offers incredible value. Taking the deeper bass and higher power handling of the LX out of the question, I do feel the LX midrange sounds just a tad bit cleaner and overall, LX is just a bit more spacious. At sub $1000 (maybe even sub $1400), nothing can touch the S1V2 and they make for incredible nearfield monitors (listening to them nearfield right now as I attempt to get caught up with emails)

Any opinions on duov2 vs. S1v2...since the Titan & RAAL 64-10 are very close...in comparison. Just curious though...idea or suggestion in comparing came up over at AVS...for potentially going from S1 to S1v2 when kits come available. Most likely...it will depend on listening habits and/or musical preferences...of course cost as well...once established.

Yes, highly depends on listening preferences as well as music vs movies. DuoV2 is the more detailed speaker, but the S1v2 is the more neutral and much more dynamic speaker.
