    Dave,

    I would be all in for a WTW center and 2 Sierra R-Sat to go with my L-R Sierra 2's. I am thinking that a WTW would be a better choice for a center than one R-Sat (Sierra 2 is too big for my available space). Do you agree that I should wait for the WTW? And do you have a rough idea when you might get to the WTW center?

    My two cents about the name, I think Sierra SatX (X being the R, S or D designation) rolls off the tongue better than putting the designation before "Sat." Like Sierra SatR rather than Sierra R-Sat. Or some other mark rather than a hyphen. Like Sat|R.

    I'm no brand naming guy, but would it make sense to keep the sat names consistent with the full sierras?

    E.g. Sierra 1 + sierra sat 1, Sierra 1 nrt + sierra sat 1 nrt, Sierra 2 + sierra 2 sat.

    Or, rename Sierra 1 to Sierra D/N, and Sierra 2 to Sierra R and then also name the sats D/N/R

    I've typed the word "sierra" too many times and now it looks weird to me.

    Might caution you using DNR in the naming........Do Not Recessitate

    These sats are already dead on arrival. Ha!

    How about Sierra-M (Mini) or Sierra-S (Satellite)??

    Personally I like Sierra-S which is in line with Sierra-1 & Sierra-2..

    You can name them Sierra-S (dome version), Sierra-S w/ NrT and Sierra-S w/ RAAL

    Dave, other than the name of the new satellite speakers, have you thought about placement options?

    If these satellites are intended to be used as surrounds, will you offer flush mount option?

    I am thinking maybe you can design sound kind of bracket mount system and flush mount to wall by first secure the bracket to wall then hung the satellite on the brackets?

    Excellent! I really like Sierra-S, can further expand to Sierra -SR (for ribbon). Somewhat reminds of a stunning Carrera S that I just drove past ( a sign perhaps )

    We will definitely have a flush mount option.

    Hmmm, might want to stay away from Sierra-SNrT.... While there's a certain humor, you probably don't want to be the guy to market a speaker known as the "snort".

    I am thinking R-Sat for the ribbon version. N-Sat for the NrT dome version. D-Sat for standard dome version. Thoughts?
    Will there be enough of a price/performance differentiation to make it worthwhile to have three models?

    Speaking of price, any recent thoughts on that?

    The main reason, I suspect, for the three versions is to offer a matching Satellite for each version of regular Sierra ("-1", "NrT" & "-2").

    I too am curious as to final pricing.
