anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce?

This is a complicated question. There are three levels of LSA speakers. IMHO the Statements or the top level are strikingly better than the Standards or cheapest. I also think the LSA1 Statements are superior to the LSA2 Statements in every regard except the bottom end bass below 35 Hz.

I don't think the Vandersteen 2ce are in the same league.

Want a major improvement?
Why not just add a Vandersteen Hi Pass with the Vandersteen 2WQ The High pass allows the amp in your 2270 to recover faster.
when leveled and properly set up you will experience a dramatic improvement in the whole systems clarity and transparency.
Do a search or post on 2WQ and read what all of the folks who have done this properly say.

Bryon84, I owned Vandersteens 2Cs long ago and was very impressed with them versus what was available then. I have followed Richard's evolution in speaker design over the years, including listening to the new designs at the last CES. I also have listened to the LSA1s and LSA2s under similar circumstances. The LSA1 Statements are in my opinion strikingly capable of realism in all but the lowest two octaves. All that I can recommend is that you give them a listen, somehow.
