Everything I've read about the Sierra Tower is very positive and as for the RAAL it is probably one of the best drivers out there. When I look at the Sierra Tower Measurements page...it appears that the very top end is within 2 db of the mid top end...which I would call flat compared to a lot of measurements you see on other well regarded loudspeakers tested by Sound Stage Access....and I assume Dave voiced it that way.
I was pretty surprised when I saw a post on Audiogon suggesting that the Sierra tower has an intentionally tipped up top end to make it appear that it has great resolving capability.
I'm hoping Dave can add some insight as to his voicing and as to the RAAL capability when it comes to soundstage and resolution.

Nitrobob,
Respectfully, your first post reads and looks to be more like an Ascend speaker ad to me than anything else, and none of the post really has anything to do with the Moab.
I believe we talked a few months back and I can assure you that you are in a very slim minority - 4 out of 100 to be exact. I know the Double Impact is a great sounding loudspeaker. Furthermore, the Ascend Towers do not have any less distortion, lower distortion, cleaner and clearer sound or better resolution; they are simply voiced differently than I choose to voice speakers. The top-end of the Ascend Towers and the other speakers you've had the treble turned up and we covered this. Turning up the treble is an effect I've used for decades if I want the listener to perceive exacting resolution. There's a handful of speaker companies that live by this credo and I hope they never change.
