the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?

I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?

Based on e.g....

  • brand/company’s reputation
  • price
  • sensitivity
  • crossover frequency
  • compatibility with existing amp, etc.?

I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.

I'm surprised as LSA speakers had very positive reviews before it got sold to Underwood.  Sorry to remind you of your misfortune.

Unfortunately, early production LSA speakers had some issues. Newer versions should be excellent

@kennyc not at all. It was good learning experience in many ways, and could have been synergy issues as far as the sound..

FYI - just found the MoFi Sourcepoint 8 which I’m guessing is cut from the same cloth as the Sourcepoint 10s:

@kennyc totally, the 10 would be too big for my room!
