Dave,
Could you describe the similarities and differences between the Sierra Towers and Sierra Horizons as LR mains? Is it just the soundstage that is different or are there other differences? Thanks.
Sierra horizon is interesting, but i think we might need more benifits to go with it over the tower. So far , i can think of the front slot port being a benefit.
Keep in mind that we will have to spend some cash on a good set of stands. It might also take up more cubic feet as these are much wider. The cost should be lower as the cost of the plinth are no longer incured, but it might be more costly to built the front slot and the total orders are lower for this particular design.
Dave, we are certainly waiting for your views.
I would have to believe due to the complexity of the cabinet, and the amount of material it requires, the Horizon will always be more expensive than the Tower.
I am also quite curious as to the performance differences between them. I'm sure Dave will chime in when he gets the swamp drained a bit more. Must be a mad house around there lately trying to get all those backorders filled.
I get the distinct impression that they ended up with many more orders than expected.

Verrry Interesting. I can't find any pictures of the "Horizons" in a completed state. Would they be placed vertically, on stands, as Stereo Mains?
Are there any images available? Please link me.

(for #3, watch YouTube video and skip to 1:25 to see Horizon in action)

Thanx for the Lynx...
Dave.. Are you using the Horizons, for stereo mains, in a vertical stance?
Are there any pictures of them being used as mains. I am a fan of large monitors on stands. (Male Terriers in the house)
Hm. Dave's answer may very well be different, but I can't imagine the speakers' qualities and advantages would remain the same if their orientation was altered so drastically. It would probably require a redesign of sorts to accomodate.

Yes, I finally found the video Dave posted with the SPL meter. I imagine the dispersment patterns would be off with them vertical.
I want to hear more about the Horizons as Mains in the horizontal position Sound Anchors could make stands. I have had my local metal fabricating shop make stands too.
