The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"


My review on the Stereo Times website on the LSA Signature 50 speaker was posted this morning. I believe that you GON members would enjoy the details why I refer to this monitor as a "Disruptive Product" regarding it's cost vs. performance ratio. Take a look at the review for the details of why my time with the Signature 50 was so much fun and has lead to hours of musical enjoyment.

The designer of the LSA 50/80/Statement has some links to measurements and his small YouTube channel on DIY Audio where he’s a pretty popular member, but seems this is a new designer and not the one who did the LSA signature line. Frequency response for the 50s was pretty even from the graph he shared, 80s seem to tip up in the treble a few dbs to give a more  refined or detailed sound I imagine.

@amorstereo looking forward to some early thoughts on the 80s once you receive them.

@amorstereo cool review. I am on the lookout for a stand mount below $2000 for my Lyngdorf TDAI-1120, after sending my Buchardt A500’s back after evaluation ( just did not resonate with me, lacked sparkle). I look forward to your review of the LSA 80’s. The other speaker I am considering is the Ascend Sierra LX.

I should be getting the Signature 80's in for review next week. I'll post my first impressions when I have a chance to listen to them.

I've had the pleasure of hearing the LSA Signature 50's at Teajay's.  They are an amazing value.  "Disruptive" is well said.

What resonated with me the most is how transparent they were and the ability to energize the room for their size/price.   Of course, they were backed with Teajay's impeccable, dead-silent electronics, but they did not seem like an obvious weak link in the chain.

I could add color around sound staging, imaging, texture, decay and the rest.... but simply put, IMHO, they do a great job across the audiophile-lingo-spectrum at mid-fi pricing. 

Aesthetics and build quality also deliver on the value equation.  The stands seemed solid and the set-up looked better in person than I expected.

The only downside I could point to is mixed feelings over the "Sonus Faber Copy" design, which some may have a philosophical difference with.

Overall, I can't see how someone could complain for the money.
