In Reply to: RE: LSA 1 posted by bboroski on February 25, 2010 at 06:38:16
I checked the LSA in the Stereophile Directory.( Page 113)There is an LSA 1 and LSA 1 Signature.There is no difference in the specs except for an additional pound in the weight of the latter.That signature speaker costs a solid $750 more.Wonder why.
There are LSA 2 and LSA 2 Signature.This signature is not even heavier but costs $2000 more than the LSA 2.
I dont know if it is a mistake in the directory but somebody please explain what the difference is , to cost that much more.

Found it.Thanks.
With the designer's personal upgrading,the signature must be sounding extremely good.

I have the Signature version of the LSA 1 and I am very happy with
them.
Dear bboroski
There are so many reputed speaker makes in the price range of 1.5 to 2k range, like Vandersteen, B&W, GMA, Totem,Harbeth,Dali with ribbon tweeters,Focus,Revel,Snell,Legacy,Thiel,Sonus Faber Toy,Quad,Merlin et al to name a few classy brands. Is the LSA more 'musical', to use a term for want of a better term.The speaker designers have such a tough time.

IMHO whether you like a speaker(or even amplifier) can be a matter
of taste like in music. Everyone's brains and ears are different
and people usually end up with something that is pleasing to
their ears. Or you can go down the path of seeking the ultimate
in speaker neutrality. After much experimentation I know what I
like and what I don't like. I don't seek out the most neutral sounding
speakers to be found. As I said, I like speakers that can deliver
bass, impact/slam, and soundstage. That is a tall order for a
bookshelf speaker. I have auditioned bookshelf models from Totem,
B&W, Monitor Audio, Paradigm, Dali, etc. None of the models I
auditioned delivered the combination of bass, impact, and soundstage
that the LSA 1s delivered. Are they musical? To me they are very
musical, but that does not mean they will be musical to you. The
only way to find out is to audition them for yourself.
bb,
Thanks for that feedback.
I am in the hunt for a light and airy sounding bookshelf speaker for quite some time now.Have to listen more.Tending to MMG (not a bookshelf!) but dont have the right amp.An Outlaw would be great.Ah,so many things I would like to own.
Best Regards
Bill
You beat me to it... :-)
