LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??

Even though my VR-1s sounded completely different than the LSA 1s (nods toward Larry and smiles) the best amps I used with them were the Monarchy SM-70 Pro monoblocks. Smooth as silk, just a tad on the warm side, and plenty of power; I imagine they'd be a great complement to the LSA 1s, and it looks like Orangepotato has come to the same conclusion. Certainly worth a listen for the low price of entry.

At the RMAF, LSA had their 1 Statement speakers with their Standard integrated amp run by the Exemplar/Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player. It was extraordinary but the room was about twice the size of my small NM listening room. It was a $10k system.

My wife and I went to the LSA room at the RMAF several times last weekend and I had to drag my wife away down the hall kicking as she wanted to buy them on the spot (it's usually the other way around concerning stereo gear). They are truly excellent speakers.

I sold my LSA1 Statements when I had a shot at getting a pair of Merlin TSM's at a good price. I've never had the chance to listen to them side by side, so I can't really compare them, but I will say that I had no beef with the LSA when I owned it. Terrific speaker, indeed.

Mike,
I know it's been a while...but wondering if you've tried stuffing the cabinets with wool?
That makes a big, big difference in their sound, trust me on that.
Any fabric store can usually point you to natural wool for stuffing.

Good listening,

Larry
