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.

The LSA Statement remains one of the best integrated amps I've ever had. One of my two regrets, along with Reference 3A de Capos, for letting go.

I realize this thread is on the old side but find the new LSA speakers intriguing.  Especially at their current sale price.  Can anyone comment on the actual quality of the cabinets and components?  When I hear “manufactured in China” and “custom drivers” that clues me in on how they are such a bargain.  What are the cabinets actually made from?  Typical Chinese chip board “MDF”?  Off brand crossover components?  Drivers built to what spec and by whom?  There are sooo many pretty faces on the market right now that actually sound pretty good but are really $100 worth of junk skillfully presented to convince us that they are much higher quality that they actually are.

Well, as per the OP...

Incidentally, teajay bought the review samples after reviewing them for The Stereo Times, which I highly doubt he would’ve done if they were made from “$100 worth of junk.”  While I understand your concerns, I don’t think there’s much to worry about with these new LSA speakers.  FWIW.

I'm looking at these LSA's for my bedroom, the size is right and they look good. In the review it was stated you set them up 5 ft from the wall. I don't have that luxury. How close to the wall could they be placed and still sound good? I don't need booming bass ( In a condo and can't play to loud anyway) ? Anyone have thoughts or experience with these speakers?

As long as they are biwireable, you can always disconnect the woofers
