Sierra Horizon (Sierra Tower Center)

[chas]

Man, folks are excited for this stuff...

While that's all in good fun, I have to wonder. Dave, you've been releasing new stuff at a furious pace lately. The LXs. V2 upgrades for Lunas, Duos, and EXs. New 340s. Hints at new Horizon and new Towers. Have you ever released so many things so quickly before? I've been a customer and active on this forum for about a dozen years now, and I don't remember anything quite like this. You must be keeping Dina crazy busy...

That Klippel must be running 24/7

Yes, in fact - we are going to start discussing this over the holiday weekend and actual shipping will start this coming Monday.... This is a big one, we have saved the best for last

The suspense is killing me.....I've got the drum roll started and the confetti ready for your upcoming "speaker reveal" party.....

Definitely an exciting time to be an Ascend fan, but it won't be easy on the wallet....

Me too! I check here every day waiting for an update.

Since there wont be a visually symmetrical LX center, I'm hoping that Dave does a Klippel optimized and refreshed Horizon Center V2 to match with it.

They are doing the Horizon v2. I believe there will be same options as the new Towers/Tower upgrades.

I ordered the upgrade kits for my RAAL Towers & RAAL Horizon - new cross-overs, new woofers, new midrange.

I REALLY WANT to hear this.... I've been drooling since Dave put it out there...
I GUARANTEE it sounds Mint.

So,

I have a question that I probably already know the answer to. Just ordered a pair of Titan towers to replace my LXs. I have a Duo V2 but want to replace that with the Horizon once I figure out how I am going to fit it into my system. I was going to order the Titan version of the Horizon, but my gut feeling says that the Raal version will be superior for center duty. In this use case, is there a wide gap between the performance of the two?

Thanks,

Hawk

Very subjective as far as the "gap" is concerned. I'd say for HT, stick with the Titan. I love my LX's upfront for "do all" system, but I sure I would be just as happy with 2EX's.

That said, why did you go with the Titan towers? What swayed you over the RAAL?

Honestly, the price deferential and the fact that I read that the Titan is perfectly acceptable for HT. 90% of the use of this system will be HT. Just thought that perhaps the Raal will shine a little more in center duty than the Titan.

For HT usage, the RAAL does offer slightly better dialogue clarity and detail, but I would say the gap is small and you are perfectly OK going with the the Titan version.

Hope this helps!
