The LSAs sound intriguing, but I haven't heard them, but I did own Reference 3A MM deCapos which are very efficient and the large woofer is very helpful for a fuller sound
stand-mount speakers for classical music
Last year's search for stand-mount speakers got scuttled by other priorities. I used the time since to optimize existing config and critically evaluate all the thingz.
> 90% of my listening is classical up to moderate dB, remaining 10% is mix of electronic, alternative and classic rock up to loud dB ( >= 12 o'clock on -dB dial).
Classical breakdown: 70% chamber/solo instrumental and vocal, 30% orchestral and opera.
Gear: Micromega M-100 int amp, Nola Boxer v1, dual Syzygy SLF870 12" 1000w subs w/ room-correction, all source material is streaming (.flac or Qobuz)
Room: challenged 3700cf L-shape with speakers centered at 7' point of a 27' head wall. Vaulted ceiling to 13', hardwood floors, some rugs.
Budget: under $5K
Grateful to hear from other standmount owners with similar listening profiles.

The passive ATC SCM20SL is on the Lone Mountain website. Retail is $6499. The active version. SCM20ATSL, is a tower, mentioned but not pictured. http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/loudspeakers/classic-series/scm20/ Any Spendor model would also be a good choice. |
