[davef]

Super Dave, I'm still planning on visiting Ascend mid-August. I'll be able to listen to one of these, yes?

Absolutely - S2EX are in our demo room.

This is a nice woofer. very good chest thumping mid bass. Nice transients. I have tried it with couple of class D integrated amps(Devialet and Aavik) and it rocks. Highly recommended. I think this would mate really well with couple of rythmik F8s for a small form factor.

Do these still image crazy like the sierra2?
I really enjoy the imaging and separation of instruments of the sierra2 throws out.

Finally, an upgrade path for S2’s! Someone please come up with a DIY cabinet so we can make use of the old woofers as a small sub enclosure.

Dave,
Thanks for posting the kit info on the EX product page!

I've been following the diamond thread in anticipation! This came together quicker than expected. Great work Dave!!

Some questions:
What tools/skills are required to perform the upgrade from S2 to S2EX? Similar to the S1->S2 upgrade kit? Will there be an option to ship our S2 to Ascend to have you do the upgrade? And if so, how will self-upgrade vs factory upgrade affect warranty?

Should be the same as doing the S1 to Nrt upgrade, only you are swapping woofers vs tweeters as well as crossovers. You should have a regular Phillips (+) head screwdriver and correctly sized hex socket/open end wrench for the speaker terminal connections.

Just don't remove the tweeter, only the woofer!
