Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound

I don't think you need anymore reviews then that one from Terry London, who by coincidence reviewed the lsa statement previously.

Hard for me to say exactly my thoughts, it is missing something special. It could be my Peachtree decco 65...

I don't know if it is your Peachtree Decco, but what what is the rest of your system. A speaker can't produce sound that it does not receive. You may have a choke point earlier in your system. Replacing my tonearm made a huge improvement in the imaging and soundstage produced by my system.

Nyaudio98,
I got your personal message asking for my opinions about the De Capo versus the LSA 1 Statement. I thought I would answer in this forum so as to be helpful to anybody else who is interested in this topic.
As I mentioned, I owned the Statement twice. I liked them, as well, and nearly sold my Merlin TSM-mmi monitors (which have quite a cult following) when I had the Statements in my room. There's also a guy here on Audiogon who goes by the moniker "tbg" who owns some very, very fancy and expensive gear but swears by the LSA 1 Statement which he uses in his vacation home.
That said, it was the De Capo that finally got me to part with my Merlin's and I haven't looked back. (Actually, it was the "little brother" of the De Capo, the Dulcet, that dethroned the Merlin's.)
As for differences between the Statement at the De Capo, there are many, but here are a few. First, the De Capo is an 8 ohm load that is 92 dB efficient. The LSA 1 Statement is a 6 ohm load which is 88 dB efficient. Hence, all other things being equal, the De Capo is a substantially easier load for an amplifier to drive. (Because of that, I am currently finishing building a SET amplifier – 8 W per channel – to power the De Capo.) Additionally, the De Capo is a design that has been around (and has been continually refined) for decades. It has a "minimalist" design philosophy that eliminates anything you would really call a "crossover" by running the main driver flat out coupled to the amplifier and only protecting the tweeter with a single capacitor. This is supposed to contribute to its efficiency, but I believe it also contributes to the sense of "seamlessness" and coherence that the speaker exhibits. Music just flows out of this thing and imaging and sound staging are spectacularly good. As for comparing that to the LSA 1 Statement, I have to be honest and say that I no longer remember the sound of that speaker well enough to make a direct comparison. But what I feel safe in saying is that while the LSA 1 Statement is obviously a very nice speaker, one can do better for around the same money.
If you search around here in the forums or on Audio Asylum, you will be able to find my review of the De Capo. It may be helpful to you, as well.

Fantastic read Rebbi.
