(except i have 2 pair already)

but these may not rock out well enough for you

 LSA-10 Signatures seem to be mediocre speakers, with the price constantly dropping, and very little demand for them. I have done a lot of research and legwork and I found nothing supporting the hype.

But of course it's a matter of taste and equipment too.

I’m with you guys on this one. OP, I think I paid $1400 for my LSA-10’s, and I consider it to be money well spent. $999 is almost a no-brainer, and they’ll have that bass punch you’re after. I listen to a lot of electronic music and they don’t disappoint in that department.

Just out of curiosity, did your “research and legwork” involve actually auditioning the speakers in your system?

Never heard them but lots of love for Fritz products.

Dyna A25 or A35.  Still a huge bargain even after 50 years.
