LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5?

roxy54; for the sake of accuracy, I should point out that there's a 10% restocking fee + shipping, if speakers are returned. 

You may be in luck. There’s a nice pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars (the speakers the LSAs benchmarked) here for $3500. If they don’t blow you away you can probably sell them for what you paid, and if you like them you can upgrade them to Graphene version and get even more improvement if you get the urge. I’d hop on them ASAP. Best of luck.

soix: thanks for the tip. I've already ordered the LSA's. 

Please let us know how the LSA's sound. I almost ordered a pair myself.

The LSA's did offer deeper bass, which I liked but I've grown so accustomed to the low-mids of the Silverlines that by comparison the LSA's sounded rather "thin" to me, in my room. I know this aspect of the Silverlines has been attributed to cabinet resonance and will no doubt be judged as "flawed"  by some but I like the sound. Compared to my 17.5's, the Silverline Supremes offer improved resolution, according to Alan Yun, but as I don't find the 17.5's wanting in this area, I don't believe investing in the Supremes would be the best use of my upgrade dollars. If I had more room, I'd try a sub/s but as my listening room is actually our living room, the use of space is prioritized for furniture first, and audio, second, which leaves very little space or flexibility for positioning sub/s.
