The conflicting opinions of the LSA-1's are what bugs me about audiophilia in general. The same set of speakers sounded poor not only to a potential consumer but also to the dealer. Yet someone else was impressed with them on 2 different occasions at 2 different shows. It only proves that the dealer either had them set up wrong, or had them with the wrong associated electronics. But in the right setup they must be pretty good speakers. You can't rely on opinions about audio gear. So often the performance will be relative.
