And so it begins....
This little dude beat the pants off the 340SE center in everything but deep bass...
Hi Dave,
In a 2.1 vertical orientation, would the Luna LCR (crossed over 70 to 80hz) be more efficient, create a bigger soundstage (wider dispersion), reproduce a more open realistic midrange or tighter bass definition (vs the regular Luna)?!?

The 340s might have more raw output too, because they are likely more efficient and can draw more power without damaging the drivers. I think Dave might have been mentioning any characteristics that would be related to the quality of the sound. I could be wrong. In fact, I would love to be wrong, since I plan to buy some Sierra Luna LCRs.
Looks awesome Dave. How does it compare to the Sierra 2 center?

It’s been a while but I’m back in the game and have a pair of Luna’s in satin black bamboo on order! These will be replacing my HTM 200s in my bedroom setup. The 200s will be kept for a future dedicated theater room build. I also grabbed a Yamaha rx-a1070 to power them. Thanks to Dave and Dina for the assistance!
Efficiency of the new speaker will come in at 86-87dB, so yes, quite a bit more efficient than the Luna. Bass is different, I am tuning the bass more similar to our Horizon, so extension will be about the same as the Luna, but with quite a bit more midbass slam. Mids and Highs will be basically the same, but the new speaker will play quite a bit louder and with less compression / distortion at louder volume levels due to spreading the load over (2) woofers as opposed to a single woofer.
