LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5?
Yes, roxy54; I'm leaning in that direction. The only difference between the Signature and Statment models is the tweeter. The Statement has a beryllium tweeter while the Signature has a soft dome. I've read that  berylliums are not fatiguing but w... 
LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5?
soix: Since I really like my Silverlines (although the system could do with more bass) I was thinking the Supremes would give me the same sound, only "better". Perhaps this is a naive assumption. When I asked Alan Yun about the differences, he rep...

17 X 18 living room  with a 17 X 10 dining room behind it, separated by a half-wall (5 feet high) and an adjoining entry on one side.

Another speaker I'm wondering about in this regard is the Salk BMR.  
LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5?
I was wondering whether the LSA's sub bass radiator might offer deeper, tighter bass. However, I read one review that mentioned the SBR might require more space between it and the back wall than other monitors and. I've only got 24" -- not sure th...

Hi tvad-- I haven't decided to-- just doing a little exploring!

Sorry-- LSA-10, not 110 ! 
Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?
Very helpful thread. I'd thought about upgrading my La Voce S2 to S3 but sacrificing musicality for the sake of detail is not a risk I'm willing to take. Based on comments, here, I'm keeping my S2 stock. Thanks to everyone who described their ex... 
Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why?
itzhak1969: yes; it's that "unnatural" quality that I object to.  
Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport
orpheus10: I've considered acquiring one of the Inous servers but even though, at 600 CDs, my music collection is a modest one, the prospect of having to burn them isn't appealing. I may reach a point where placing and removing a physical disc int... 
Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why?
macdude: All I can say is that the sonic profile of the Heed and Moon transports (with the same cabling) was very different. I suspect a "better" bnc would not have made the Heed more appealing to me-- its designers would appear to prioritize reso... 
Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport
junzhang10: thanks but I'm old fashioned-- I grew up with and prefer physical media. I use my PC for researching and buying CDs and audio gear; I have no interest in bringing the computer experience into my listening environment.  
Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport
bigkidz1: I agree. Trying things out is the only way. Anyone who says transports don't affect tone is sorely mistaken, in my opinion. The SQ difference between the Moon and the Heed in this regard was huge-- nearly as stark as the difference betwe... 
Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport
Have decided to keep Moon transport. Thanks to all who offered suggestions on this thread !  
Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why?
macdude: you may be right, but when I replaced the Heed transport with a Simaudio 260DT, the extreme variations in sound stage and overly (to my ears) analytical/forward sound I'd been experiencing vanished. All I can conclude is that the Heed is ...
