That is so strange.....almost a 10dB difference is some areas.
Congratulations Brandon...
I had a similar in room response as well with my Sierra (Room treatment is not an option for me.) The picture of the graph posted along with your speaker is really flat though. Along with Towers, I'm waiting for Outlaw 978 to overcome these issues caused by the room.
You mentioned that the Towers are in another league compared to classic Sierra. How do they compare against NRT for mids? I expect the highs to be very comparable.
Enjoy the speakers :-)
Thanks Sam! I have just the three room treatments, all the wife would allow for now:) Not sure if they did much good or not, I have not measured without them yet. The high frequencies cannot be measured through my current SPL meter anyway.
The towers were worth the wait! I only had upgraded one sierra to the Nrt (center one) so comparing is not very ideal. The highs are very similar being the same tweeter, which I very much enjoy. To me so far, the male vocal range and drum type instruments sound fuller on the Towers. The mid range region has more weight to it, more realistic versus the sierra-1 Nrt.
Dave,
Which standard finish option (or options) qualifies for the introductory price of $1898/pair? Do you have a sample of some sort showing the three black options mentioned in post 26?
Does one have to be on a preorder list to qualify for the introductory price, or will the price apply for a limited time after the towers are offered for sale on your website?
Will the towers come with spiked feet and/or other options do make them secure on carpet?
Will the q-plugs for the Sierra-1 also fit the towers’ ports?
I have two Emotiva UPA-1 mono-block amplifiers each rated 350 watts RMS x 1 into 4 ohms. From your comments on the towers’ power handling it would seem I am safe to use the mono-blocks with the towers.
Allen,
I can comment on one of your questions, mine came with spikes but I chose not to use them so I can slide them around. I would call ascend and be placed on their preorder list, I imagine its growing every day:) I am sure any high powered amp is fine with the towers, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it better to feed them more power then too little and risk clipping the amp and blowing a driver?
I figured. I put all the measuring equipment away and the wifes relaxing, no more annoying sweeps today:p
I had chosen to cross over the yamaha at 60hz running them small vs large for movies of course, should I disregard that idea and run the towers full range for movies as well? I was always under the impression with the low bass of modern soundtracks, running the front speakers this way may cause issues?
