LSA 20 Statement Speakers


I may purchase a pair of LSA 20 Statement Speakers......
Using my Pass Labs 250.8 Amp, their XP-12 Preamp and XP-17 phono stage
I’m spinning a VPI Classic Turntable with a MIMC Soundsmith cartridge, will these Speakers create a memorable musical experience for years to come?
Esthetically, including their size, they 
work for me and my space.  I actually 
love their appearance. From what I’ve found, their products are created with experienced and knowledgeable guidance. 
My first attempt at an Audiogon post,
I appreciate your input.

We had the Bookshelf bottom end LSA 2019 speaker. I can not recall if it was the signature or the statement model but it was the cheaper one. Our club had 10 speakers. The only pair that someone wanted to buy was the LSAs. I had them at my home for a week and not only loved the looks but the sound was excellent too.

Not sure what your budget is? Or if you are buying new or used?
So it is hard to make a suggestion for comparison.
Another LSA positive comment...
Wonder if this pair may have been their old line.  Irregardless it’s a positive regarding in their speakers. Thank you for that insight!
@mijostyn “The engineering is very basic. Even you could probably master it.”
I know Dan Wiggins was part of this design team. I made the acquaintance of him before he even launched Adire, and his low frequency drivers are exemplary. The engineering in this speaker is FAR from “basic”.

@mbennes Ive been close to pulling the trigger on these too. But for MY listening preferences and content, I am leaning to Maggies. While room is relatively small (12.5 x 22), up to 3.7’s can work well, and room is dedicated, so their somewhat imposing aesthetic is not a problem. My concern is missing the next (low) octave - happy enough or need to try to integrate a sub.

But I am considering a comparison home trial if I can get the same trial period for the Maggies..
Appreciate your input...thank you! Our son is expecting their second child. Following that and our visit I’m pulling the trigger. Leaning toward the LSA 20 Statement, but the new Elba 2 also looks promising.  Talked to Wally regarding a Statement purchase. 
My room size should work if I can 
place the back of the speakers
a couple of feet from the wall. 
From what Photographs tell me, they are Beautiful Speakers.

These speakers exceeded my expectations and I have no regrets. Coupling the LSA-20 Statement speakers with your Pass gear and VPI turntable will indeed give you musical pleasure for years to come.

My baselines for speakers include Vandersteen, Totem, Quad, Aerial, B&W, Dynaudio, and Wilson. I have owned B&W, ADS, and Vandersteen speakers, and the LSA-20 Statements give me everything I loved about these speakers, but they do it much better.

I recommend these to you without reservation. You can see my Audiogon Virtual System post at https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9586.

Happy listening!
