Downsizing Setup Looking for Small 2 Way speakers. Selling my Perfect Storm Vapor Audio.
I recently purchased some Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1's with the soft domes, but I know they have the Sierra 2's with the Raal tweeters.  Surprised by their lower end extension.  I know they have a 30 day in home demo as well.
