Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.

I second Sioux’s suggestion of the LSA-10 Statements.  I have found them to sound balanced throughout their range.  Also, they do better with lower frequencies than many stand-mount speakers.  Lovely cabinet and finish.  I haven’t personally heard the lower-priced LSA-10 signature, but the specs are similar and the reviews are solid.  I think the main difference is upgraded tweeter and crossover in the Statement.

I really love the sealed-box speakers from Studio Electric.  Their M4s are standmounts in your price range and would be great to include in your comparison.  I understand that these are the monitors that Dan Wright of ModWright uses.

i don’t know if proac and atc have an entry level standmount under 3 grand retail price anymore, if so, they should be included in any comparison trying to cover ’best of breed’
