LOL. We are in a recession. I want new speakers, I don't NEED new speakers.

You man up and buy my Swans.

too late... i've already ordered and paid for the cherry's...

and managed to move 2 out of 5 of my naturals... figured i might as well beat the rush...

I am curious about your assessment of the Swan's. Also, did you compare them directly to the Sierra's?

[mziegler]

I have directly compared both. The Swans are a very good speaker. I preferred the Sierra. I think the imaging on the Sierras was better, and the bass was tighter.

I compared them and I will say it was close. The Swan's had bigger bass but the bass was tighter on the Sierra. I also think I preferred the tweeter on the Sierra. I went with the Swans because they dropped in price and came in at about $300 less than the Sierra. Not to mention that the finish is AMAZING on the Swans.

I loved the natural Sierra but it didn't match anything in my room and I had heard about the edges wearing down, and I just didn't want another black speaker. This Espresso finish changes things a bit.

...and I had heard about the edges wearing down...

Huh? Can you explain?

[TKYR67]

One of the reviews I read about the Sierra mentioned the edges of the naturals were worn or dulled. can't remember which review.

[curtis]

Interesting....they certainly are not sharp edges, but worn/dull? They seem nicely finished to me.

I would imagine the other finishes have the same edges.
