LSA 20 Statement Speakers

@mijostyn —

the LSA 20s are nicely made and that is about it. The engineering is very basic. Even you could probably master it. They are nothing special. This design has been drilled into the ground.

Really? And what design is that? Dynamic drivers with a crossover in a box? Perhaps you could dazzle us with your deep understanding of exactly how the crossover in the 20s is designed? I won’t hold my breath.

Because they all have different diversions from a flat frequency response curve they all sound different.

Well welcome to the real world! Maggies and Sound Labs don’t measure flat either Einstein. And any speaker that does would sound like crap in a real room, so you’re just chasing your tail in fantasy land there chum. You don’t like box speakers with dynamic drivers — we get it. But overgeneralizing the sound of the design and saying any improvements will be marginal is just ignorant and silly and provides no benefit to the OP or this thread.

I have the small LSA bookshelf.  They are wide dispersion, have a great soundstage with huge sweet spot.  Very special. 

@mbennes buy them you have  a generous return privileges with Wally.

Buy what you like dude.

Probably the safest upgrade bet, how about moving up the Monitor Audio speaker line starting at the Silver 300, or maybe purchase a Gold 200 or stretch to a Gold 300?   You may move even farther up the Monitor Audio line if you buy used. 

A comparison review:

Based on the quality of reviews, the LSA 20 seem like a price/performance bargain.  Ideally you'd like to demo them in your own system.  However, without listening first you won't know if you prefer the LSA over the Monitor Audio sound - it's a risk.   

Thanks so much everyone.
Your expertise is truly appreciated.  I’m pleased to know you have opinions regarding LSA. We all are passionate in seeking a desired, magical sound when listening to music.
