LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker / Great Performer & Great $ Bargain until end of the year

My review on the LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker has just gone up on the Stereo Times website that shares the details of why this seven driver design (four active and three passive drivers) gorgeous looking speaker offers a beautiful full-range performance in sound-staging, rendering of natural colors/timbres(think Harbeth), top end sparkle, and accurate bass extension down to 25 Hz. All of this delivered in a small footprint floor-standing enclosure that’s clad in a top-notched matched chocolate Rosewood veneer.

It normally sells for $3,995, which includes shipping, but until the end of the year it’s on sale for $2,399. At its regular price its a bargain. However, for $2,299 it’s a freaking unbelievable steal!

For all the details regarding build quality, specifics on the 20’s performance, and design take a look at the review.

Hey berner99,

I’m assuming that through the mid-range and the high end extension your stand mounts would be very close in performance. Yes, the bigger brother floor-stander will provide the bottom extension lacking in your speakers. Years ago I reviewed the LSA reference stand mounts and thought they were superlative music makers. So, I understand why you love yours.

Hey facten,

My take on your question is two-fold:

1) The 20 Signature is a small footprint floor-stander, so physically it will fit into a smaller space, then some of the other 4k to 6k speakers I have reviewed. The 20 does have excellent deep and extended bass,  it has three rear mounted pass radiators, so you do have to get it off the front wall to get it to load the room without bloat.

2) Overall, this speaker competes easily with other wonderful speakers at or above its price point. It would be a matter of personal taste and system synergy which speaker you might prefer. I bought the review pair because I found them enchanting and very musical with a great bottom end and beautiful tonality. Yes, different then my Tekton and MSNT speakers, which I still totally enjoy, the 20's give another type of presentation or perspective on the music.

However, remember you can get the 20's now for $2,399, at that price you would have to spend at least another two to three thousand to equal its performance, in my opinion.

Hey jaudio1,

No problems driving the 20 Signature speakers with Pass Labs XA-25 amplifier. The XA-25 is one of my favorite amps, I own one, and the match-up is terrific between the speaker and amplifier. The  "beefer" amplifier you use the better the bottom-end becomes, such as my Coda #16.0. However, the XA-25 does a great job on this speaker.
