LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??

The speakers, not to be contrary, are voiced, VERY differently, the cabinets are shaped in a very different manner, lending to the exceptional imaging of the LSA's.
I worked with Von Schwiekert, for a while, as President Emeritus, helping with a CES, forming a contortium for Mr. Von Schweikert, for the 2005 CES--and while I admire his skills at design, certainly, I'm not a fan of the 'voicing' of the Von Schweikerts, when compared to the LSA's.
When I designed the LSA's I went for a completely different sound/mid tweeter blend, than most louspeakers present. For a small bookshelf, the LSA1's are VERY dynamic in the midrange, and have superior imaging and soundstaging, partly because of cabinet shape...all of this makes for what I think is a vastly superior sound.
Perfect Vision's Chris Martens just reviewed the LSA's Home Theater Package--you may want to read that review.
Good luck and good hunting.

David,
Thanks for your comments...I rarely, just take exception it's just that for some reason, the rumor was that Albert Von Schweikert 'designed' the LSA's, was out there early on. Possibly because I had worked with him in the past.(Though no one said that Jim Thiel designed them, even though I worked for Jim too).
Nothing could be further from the truth. That, plus they are voiced so VERY differently from each other--so I probably took your very gracious comments to an illogical conclusion. Sorry, if I was in any way abrupt, it's just that it's kind of a sore subject....
TBG, wondering why you like the LSA2's more, other than size of product?
I agree that the LSA 2's with the completely upgraded crossovers are remarkably better, that plus the wool stuffing, and I MEAN STUFFING! Wow, what a difference the natural fabric makes. You should hear the standard LSA2's with JUST wool stuffing--the cabinet 'noises' are reduced greatly.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I really feel that the LSA's represent a terrific value in the market today. All one needs do, is to read Chris Marten's review to get a good feel for the nature of sound of these little guys.

Thanks,

Mike,
I know it's been a while...but wondering if you've tried stuffing the cabinets with wool?
That makes a big, big difference in their sound, trust me on that.
Any fabric store can usually point you to natural wool for stuffing.

Good listening,

Larry
