LSA Statements sound like. . . .??

I'm considering a pair of LSA Statement speakers to go with my LSA Statement hybrid amp. Since I can't find a dealer anywhere (San Diego area) that has a pair to audition, I figured I woud reach out here to see if I could get some indication. I have basically narrowed it down to the Statements or a pair of ProAc D28. I currently use a pair of ProAc Response 1SCs. I love the sweet midrange of the ProAc line and the D28 ability to have good bass at low volumes. But I can get the Statements for $2k cheaper and am hoping for some synergy within the same make. Comparisons to ProAc, Wilson Benesch, Dali, B&W, or Sonus Faber would help me out. Thanks...Tim

Anybody? Seriously, any kind of comparison to something I might know would help.

Hi, Shazam,

I am happy to post on this topic. I had a pair of the LSA1 Statements for several months and just loved them! They have a sweet, extended top end and do voice extremely well. They are imaging and soundstage monsters and go surprisingly low for speakers of their size. They are also very good looking, especially in the rosewood finish. And even at higher volumes they never get shouty or obnoxious.

The only reason that I sold mine was because I got a deal on a pair of Merlin TSM-mmi's and couldn't resist the chance to try such a highly thought of speaker. But I really did love the LSA1 Statements and would urge you to try them. They are terrific. Call Walter at Underwood Hi Fi... he'll take good care of you.

And feel free to message me if you want more information.

I'm sorry I can't compare them to the speakers in your list; I just haven't heard them. But I can't imagine that they wouldn't mate extremely well with your LSA amp.

Tim, you never did specify LSA 1 Statement (monitor) or LSA 2 Statement (floor stander) I have been using the monitors for about 7 months and very happy with them. I also live in Southern Cal (Hntngtn Bch) with no LSA dealers. So, I bought a pair from Walter at Underwood Hi Fi without auditioning (first in my life.) Compared to my 1983 vintage Thiel CS3’s they are more musical in the midrange and highs are sweeter. Bass, however, needed to be augmented with a REL T-1 sub in my 21x14x8 room (speakers positioned against the short wall.) I am not familiar with ProAc sound and cannot comment on that. One caveat, these speakers made me a believer of speaker break-in period (at least 200 hours.) Good luck. Fred
