LSA Statements sound like. . . .??


I'm considering a pair of LSA Statement speakers to go with my LSA Statement hybrid amp. Since I can't find a dealer anywhere (San Diego area) that has a pair to audition, I figured I woud reach out here to see if I could get some indication. I have basically narrowed it down to the Statements or a pair of ProAc D28. I currently use a pair of ProAc Response 1SCs. I love the sweet midrange of the ProAc line and the D28 ability to have good bass at low volumes. But I can get the Statements for $2k cheaper and am hoping for some synergy within the same make. Comparisons to ProAc, Wilson Benesch, Dali, B&W, or Sonus Faber would help me out. Thanks...Tim

I think a lot of the bass response thing will have to do with how large the listening room is, naturally, and how close they are to the wall. My room is about 13 x 16 x 8 – not that large at all – and I never felt any need for a sub woofer in that environment. In fact, the Statements put out quite an astonishing amount of accurate, tuneful bass considering their size.I don't really think that they go all the way down to the low 30s as LSA claims they do, but the bass is impactful and strong. Hope this helps.
Hi, Shazam,

I am happy to post on this topic. I had a pair of the LSA1 Statements for several months and just loved them! They have a sweet, extended top end and do voice extremely well. They are imaging and soundstage monsters and go surprisingly low for speakers of their size. They are also very good looking, especially in the rosewood finish. And even at higher volumes they never get shouty or obnoxious.

The only reason that I sold mine was because I got a deal on a pair of Merlin TSM-mmi's and couldn't resist the chance to try such a highly thought of speaker. But I really did love the LSA1 Statements and would urge you to try them. They are terrific. Call Walter at Underwood Hi Fi... he'll take good care of you.

And feel free to message me if you want more information.

I'm sorry I can't compare them to the speakers in your list; I just haven't heard them. But I can't imagine that they wouldn't mate extremely well with your LSA amp.
Agree with Sedab that your amp and the LSAs should sound marvelous together. The show reports on that combo have been extremely positive.
