LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker / Great Performer & Great $ Bargain until end of the year

My review on the LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker has just gone up on the Stereo Times website that shares the details of why this seven driver design (four active and three passive drivers) gorgeous looking speaker offers a beautiful full-range performance in sound-staging, rendering of natural colors/timbres(think Harbeth), top end sparkle, and accurate bass extension down to 25 Hz. All of this delivered in a small footprint floor-standing enclosure that’s clad in a top-notched matched chocolate Rosewood veneer.

It normally sells for $3,995, which includes shipping, but until the end of the year it’s on sale for $2,399. At its regular price its a bargain. However, for $2,299 it’s a freaking unbelievable steal!

For all the details regarding build quality, specifics on the 20’s performance, and design take a look at the review.

Hey berner99,

I’m assuming that through the mid-range and the high end extension your stand mounts would be very close in performance. Yes, the bigger brother floor-stander will provide the bottom extension lacking in your speakers. Years ago I reviewed the LSA reference stand mounts and thought they were superlative music makers. So, I understand why you love yours.

I agree with simao - LSA is an underrated gem of a speaker.  I added a pair of their older bookshelf speakers  (still had the ribbon tweeters) to my Stereo in the Master bedroom - I am a Maggie guy in my two bigger systems in the Living Room and Man Cave. The ribbon tweeters in the LSA sound very close to what my Maggies produce ( 1.7i and Peter Gunned 1.6qrs). And the bass is amazingly tight for such a small footprint. The build quality of the cabinet is great. And they are so easy to drive with my old integrated amp in the bedroom.

Just my two cents - Happy listening!

Hey jaudio1,

No problems driving the 20 Signature speakers with Pass Labs XA-25 amplifier. The XA-25 is one of my favorite amps, I own one, and the match-up is terrific between the speaker and amplifier. The  "beefer" amplifier you use the better the bottom-end becomes, such as my Coda #16.0. However, the XA-25 does a great job on this speaker.
