Earthquake:

Are you referring to the "modified" LSA1 that Walter of Underwood sells? They claim to replace the stuffing with lamb's wool and replace the caps on the crossover with Auricaps... which sounds a lot to me like LSA's Signature model... I'm not sure how Walter's differs...
Tbg,
Yes, I know. But if you look at Underwood's ad, he says "we have just finished an affordable mod to the LSA1," and never calls it the Signature. See here:

So I'm a little confused. But I assume he means the Signature, as modified by Exemplar/Tucker.
Tbg,
LSA sells three levels of LSA1 speaker.
The Standard is the straight-from-China model.
The Signature replaces the Dacron filling with lamb's wool and replaces the cheap crossover caps with Auricaps.
The Statement adds the ribbon tweeter and totally rebuilds the crossover with premium parts.
