LSA 1 Monitors in a small room??

I'm considering a pair of LSA 1 monitors for my dedicated listening room which is fairly small. I read that these have a rear port, which concerns me given the fact that they would have to be placed somewhat close to the back wall. Does anyone have any experience with these speakers in a small room? I heard them once at a dealer and they were very impressive.

Thanks

Jwglista, in contrast with Larry, I think the LSA2 will overload a small room. The reason I recommend the Statement models is that John Tucker puts a folded ribbon tweeter and an upgraded crossover.

Jwglista, I have a very small room and given prior experience with the LSAIIs, I would strongly recommend the LSA1s. You can put them on the LSA stands. I would also strongly recommend that you move up to the LSA1 Statements with substantial modifications of the LSA1 Standards. These are fantastic little speakers.

At the RMAF, LSA had their 1 Statement speakers with their Standard integrated amp run by the Exemplar/Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player. It was extraordinary but the room was about twice the size of my small NM listening room. It was a $10k system.
