LSA 20 Statement Speakers

I may purchase a pair of LSA 20 Statement Speakers......
Using my Pass Labs 250.8 Amp, their XP-12 Preamp and XP-17 phono stage
I’m spinning a VPI Classic Turntable with a MIMC Soundsmith cartridge, will these Speakers create a memorable musical experience for years to come?
Esthetically, including their size, they 
work for me and my space.  I actually 
love their appearance. From what I’ve found, their products are created with experienced and knowledgeable guidance. 
My first attempt at an Audiogon post,
I appreciate your input.

Probably the safest upgrade bet, how about moving up the Monitor Audio speaker line starting at the Silver 300, or maybe purchase a Gold 200 or stretch to a Gold 300?   You may move even farther up the Monitor Audio line if you buy used. 

A comparison review:

Based on the quality of reviews, the LSA 20 seem like a price/performance bargain.  Ideally you'd like to demo them in your own system.  However, without listening first you won't know if you prefer the LSA over the Monitor Audio sound - it's a risk.

I read about your poor experience with the LSA10.  However, I believe that the speaker you received is a lemon, and the scratches on the bottom seem to indicate it’s not new and was abused.  A modern new speaker shouldn’t sound that bad.
