Re: Hello from CO
Welcome to the Ascend family ryan_co!
My Sierra-2EX's began life as an original (circa 2007) pair of Sierra-1's which have seen every upgrade of the series (Sierra-1NrT//Sierra-2//Sierra-2EX). Each version gives you a nice bump in performance, so when you get the itch to upgrade you won't have to scrap the entire speaker and will be less costly. At least that's how it was for me. Of course, staying with the Sierra-1's is not too shabby either and will definitely keep more money in your wallet!
In regards to your toe-out layout, how far from the speakers do you sit? My speakers are about the same distance between them, but I sit fairly nearfield and have my EX's toed in slightly so that I can still see the inner side of each speaker.
