LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??

I'm considering a pair of LSA 1 monitors for my dedicated listening room which is fairly small. I read that these have a rear port, which concerns me given the fact that they would have to be placed somewhat close to the back wall. Does anyone have any experience with these speakers in a small room? I heard them once at a dealer and they were very impressive.

Thanks

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
