Introducing the Sierra-LX!!!

[SunByrne]

I don't follow you on this. I am going to assume you mean that engineers design a dip in the frequency response of a woofer to compensate for output of the port?

You're right, I wasn't clear. I should have said "dip in excursion" because "response" calls up "frequency response" which wasn't what I was thinking—I'd dock my students for being that unclear so I should do better.

Not that it really matters, though, because based on your explanation, that's not really the right way to think about it, either. Your explanation was, as usual, really informative—thanks for that!

I think you understand some of it now. For a woofer, a dip in excursion at a particular frequency = less amplitude at that frequency = a dip in frequency response. This not mechanically possible. The dip in excursion you see is due to the air-pressure in the cabinet being at its greatest, which is caused by the port.

I just installed the EX V2 upgraded crossovers. I just read about 50 pages in this thread, I’m finding it very hard to not order the LX now too. Lol

Will there be a Sierra LX Center that is more "balanced looking" like a Sierra LX Duo and maybe a Sierra LX tower? It would be nice to have a full HT setup that looks symmetrical.

Hi plehpleh,

I am sorry but I am not sure I understand. Do you mean a dual woofer LX center? If that is what you are asking, no - a dual woofer LX might look better, but it would compromise the impressive off-axis performance of the Sierra-LX center while costing much more.

What is a Sierra LX tower? Do you mean our ELX tower?

Hi Dave,

Any chance of LX's coming with magnetic grills?

Likely at some point, unfortunately, it will likely come with a steep price increase so we are trying to avoid that right now.
