LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?

Thanks fsdaron.

I have the Elac B6's now, which are great speakers for the price of $289. As good as they are, I wanted something a little better, especially for the highs. That's why I was considering the UB5's.

Anyway, what other equipment do you have? How much amplifier (watts) do I need to drive the LSA1's?

I bought the LSA statements for my brother and I loved them so much, I bought a pair for my wife.  The stands are an excellent deal when purchased with the speakers and like the speakers well made.

They do well either in a grand room or a small office.  Very versatile.  In the grand room they were quite holographic and image surprisingly well.

I suggest speaking with Walter and see if there is currently any special pricing and which model will suit you best.  If you are in the NW region, you can audition mine.

Wally is a strait shooter and does not sugar coat his products.  He is very direct where any limitations exist.  This is why he is a dedicated customer base.

Are you talking about the Statements or the Signatures? I owned the Signatures that I bought from Walter for around $1000 and kept for almost 4 years. Apparently, they now sell for $600. Usually, that’s not a good sign, as you can be assured that the resale will be worthless. IMO, decent audio products don’t drop in retail that much. That alone should tell you something.

As far as the sound is concerned, I’d say they were certainly no giant killers by any stretch of the imagination. You get what you pay for.

At at least in my system, with Peachtree Audio Nova 125, they never impressed me. I like laid back, but they were a bit too polite for my taste. While they do image very nicely, they’re a bit lacking in other departments.

IMO the competition is fierce at that price point. And LSA doesn’t bring anything extraordinary to the table. Of course YMMV.

P.S. I have not heard the Statements, so my opinion only applies to the Signatures
