LSA 20 Statement Speakers

When I was looking to buy new speakers I too looked at LSA. I spoke with many of the reps from amp to pre-amp and dac producers. They all said the same about LSA. They are great speakers that are mostly designed and used as studio monitors. My first thought was that sounds good I want the speakers that the engineers use to dial in the final product why not be able to listen to the source sound. Then I ran into and old friend who was the drummer for the band I ran sound board for way back (he quit to go to Berkley music school Boston). He and I started talking about things and got to my speaker search and this is what took LSA off my list. He to said great speakers for monitors buy they are not forgiving, and will reveal everything. He said if the music you are listening to is pristine and produced great they will sound great, but if you have a poorly recorded or produced song they will reveal that poor quality and it will sound bad. Then he said you have to remember that most recordings had to be produced to sound only ok to account for all the sources people receive their music from. The producers had to make many compromises and sacrifices in the end product and LSA speakers will reveal all of these compromises, they will also reveal any of the nuances in your equipment. LSA speakers are in a way almost too good for consumer applications. I ended up buying Vandersteen 5’s and am very happy I did.

Appreciate this insightful information....

The LSA 20 Statement Speakers must designed to provide accurate musical reproduction. It sounds as though Walter Lederman has changed important aspects from the original speaker line. 
I have a question from someone who owns the new 20 Statement Speaker....with those three woofers 
positioned in the back cabinet, what happens to the bass should the speakers be positioned closer to a wall?
