Moon Audio Referece Integrated vs LSA Signature

Brian feels that the Moon was comparable to the Signature not better. Chris Moon feels its better than the Signature and right below the Statement even though it looks like the Statement. For $2400 I'm hoping it is a great deal. I like the MKII that I previously owned with my setup, sold it and bought the Audia Flight Two but the DK had more bass and slam even though the Audia Flight had great mids and highs.

I believing this is a step up.

Understood...Good luck with your new integrated Revrob. I still find it odd and interesting that this fellow Moon would choose that OEM platform and the exact appearance of the LSA Statement to create his company's integrated.

Here's the scoop The Moon Reference falls between the LSA Standard and the LSA Signature in terms of design and performance.
The Moon does not incorporate John Tucker's "active load circuit" technology .
The LSA Signature and Statement do use this circuitry and it is what really puts the amp up there with the best.

The Moon Reference comes with a 1 year warranty versus a 5 year warranty and there are no upgrades available for the Moon.
I owned the original DK,MK2,MK3 and now own a Signature it is nice to know that my Signature can be upgraded to the Statement someday .
I have a friend who has the Statement and all those reviews and awards are an understatement.
That BABY performs.

Bottom line - The MOON Reference may be a bit better than the LSA Standard at less $,however,you do give up the 4 years on the warranty and the option for upgrades.

For what they are asking for the Moon Ref. it is certainly going to provide you with excellent sonics.

just remember IT IS NOT GOING TO COMPETE WITH THE LSA SIGNATURE and come know-where near the sonics of the LSA Statement regardless of the similar cosmetics

Hi Bob, it's nice to hear from you friend! Still groovin on the Signature I see. Good listening!

By the way Rebrob, you can take what Bob says as gospel. Something to consider...

Thanks Bob. I owned the MKII and like it better than anything else I had up to this point. When I sold the MKII I then bought the Audia Flight however it made me miss the DK. I was able to trade the Audia Flight for the Moon Integrated and if it is a step up from the DK MKII that I had then I think I will be well pleased.

I have not heard the Standard, Signature, or Statements so I have nothing to compare them to. I guess when I am ready to up grade I will like at the Signature and Statement.

Thanks Bob and Foster, I am still learning how all this works. Any suggestion for full range speakers? I currently have Legacy Classics. I have had them for about 13 years and looking to replace them soon.
