The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"


My review on the Stereo Times website on the LSA Signature 50 speaker was posted this morning. I believe that you GON members would enjoy the details why I refer to this monitor as a "Disruptive Product" regarding it's cost vs. performance ratio. Take a look at the review for the details of why my time with the Signature 50 was so much fun and has lead to hours of musical enjoyment.

Weird... you say "let's put aside the design" and.....  then you complain about the design.

Sorry you didn't like the speakers you bought from them. You didn't say which model, but many of their speakers have garnered good reviews. But that just goes to show that everyone has their own opinions. Even the most well regarded items have their detractors. Pick any speaker brand -- Harbeth, Devore, Klipsch, B&W, Dynaudio, Magnapan and so on -- and you'll find some who love them and others who think they are overpriced trash.  No surprise that there is the same range of opinions about LSA.

@misstl

No I didn't but let me clarify it for you. (although I spelled it out "the content and the menus")

design - I meant the look of any page - without touching it. In a web site, everything is "designed". What I talked about was not the LOOK but the content, structure,  navigation and consistency. So again, I didn't say a word about background, colors, fonts, images, all that. I wouldn't know where to start.

I had a lot more problem with the speakers than a wrote about. I went very easy on them by keeping it to what I said. They were scratched, (and the slightest touch would scratch them more) I couldn't return them, I sold them for less than half what I paid after a few months of trying everywhere and getting lowball offers. I lost 800 dollars. 

But again, you are right, they may have been fantastic speakers in another room, another amp, etc.

@grislybutter i get your point. i've always thought the same.  the site is a bit sloppy and redundant.  and there's no cart.  you have to call or email this guy to order anything.  you think that's weird?  look at his hours and phone number.  i think he is in hawaii but has a georgia phone number.  very confusing. im not bitching about his products, just his sloppy site. 

@shtinkydog

yes, when I wrote "online retailer" I thought: "and you can’t click on anything to buy it", you have to call and email your info and then wait for an email that arrives a day later that doesn’t confirm anything and then wait for an invoice, in the mail, a week later, separate from the shipment, another 3 days later, a very convoluted and scary process compared with ordering from a web site with clear instructions about the process, step by step, and complete transparency.

@grislybutter i was ready to buy their new integrated a while back,  but then saw how "weird" everything was. i went with a van alstine pre-amp instead.  i am curious as to how good these speakers are though. I'll probably never find out. anyways, happy trails.
