Well, you'll see it stated in many forums on many websites, including audiogon. Hence, my post. I would like to know if in fact this is true.
LSA & Von Schweikert
I just took a flyer on a pair of LSA1 Statement loudspeakers. I'll be comparing them to my Von Schweikert VR-1 monitors and keeping the "winner".
In searching for information, one finds a lot of inference that LSA loudspeakers are essentially identical to the discontinued Von Schweikert VR-1 and VR-2 designs. Of course, the cabinets are slightly different, but the driver and port configurations are remarkably similar.
I'd love to hear from Larry Staples and others about these two brands, as well as the differences (if any) between the LSA1 models (Standard/Signature/Statement) and the VR-1, as well as the differences (if any) between the LSA2 models (Standard/Signature/Statement) and the VR-2.
Obviously, the Statement designs depart considerably from the others with their ribbon tweeter, which I believe is an Aurum Cantus model. Are these imported as Standards and modified in the US? Same for the Signature?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!
