Only domestic.
The pictures Dave posted are the Chinese built cabinets.

It is all a preference thing...and every room will react differently.
Here is how the Sierra-2's were set up in the Ascend demo room. The guys on the sofa are about 11' from the speakers.

Interesting..
Is that TV sitting on top of the Horizon Center?
I kinda see the left S2 tilted a little bit to the right...

I think the perceived leaning is from a fishbowl effect with the camera.

Thanks Curtis and Ed. I recall someone mentioning that they have seen the towers with the new joint and the reveal line. Never heard the same from anyone with the Sierra 2s yet, and the new pics of the Sierra 2 from Dave don't show the reveal lines, so I'm supposing the domestic cabinet maker is thus far only making the tower cabinets and not yet the Sierra 2 cabinets?
Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing an actual pic of the tower with the reveal lines. Anyone have one to share, perhaps on the tower thread? :)

PS I clicked on the multi quote icon, but it still only allows one quote - the latest. I thought I could get Ed's in there too, but no go.

When I was at Ascend a few weeks ago, I saw a natural Tower cabinet with the new reveal. I should have taken a picture. I kept looking at it...liked it so much, I had to walk away.
I believe there are some on the forum that have cabinets with the review, as the cabinets I saw were the last Tower pair Ascend had in stock. It's been mentioned on the forum before as well.

No..the TV is mounted to a bracket that is attached to the console. What you see on top of the Horizon is the speaker's grille.
If you look at the base of the stands, you can get a better perspective on how the speakers are toe'd in relation to the rug, as the rug is pretty centered/squared in the room. That all said, toeing is something you should play around with and find your own preference.
