LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?

Absolutely, John Tucker did a wonderful job of choosing crossover components of the highest order for the Upgraded Signature and Statement speakers, as well as the Signature and Statement Amps.
He is a talented designer and has a special line of products in his Exemplar Line.
A terrific man and designer, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Thanks for your input Larry.I only found 1 review of the LSA1's but that review was so positive I thought about getting them for a couple of years. Now that they are down to $600, and they are now in my budget, I ordered a pair two days ago. Once they are broken in, I am going to order a pair of Elac UB5's, break them in, and then compare the two. Btw, how different sounding are the LSA1's and the LSA1 Signatures? I could have gotten the Signatures for another $200, but since I haven't heard them and found no reviews of them, I passed. Did I make a mistake?

I ordered the LSA1's a couple of days ago, and should get them next week.

I think it is interesting the weight of the following speakers:
Elac B6 - 14.3 lbs
Elac UB5 - 16.5 lbs
LSA1   - 24 lbs

Weight doesn't make a good speaker, but i am curious, is most of the difference in the enclosure, the drivers, or the crossover?

arafiq, what speakers of about the same price, do you consider to be better? What do you mean, they were too polite and laid back. Do you mean a lack of highs &/or lows or something else? I used to own Rogers LS3/5A's many years ago, and I never understood what "British sound" meant. Of course I was using them with two Cizek subwoofers, so maybe that had something to do with my perception of them. I'm just trying to understand those terms.

I believe that you'll find that the LSA1's are a more neutral loudspeaker. It sounds unfiltered, uncolored and nicely blended, (woofer and tweeter).
Yes, for $200. more the difference is fairly amazing. Crossover parts were changed from inexpensive (hit a price point) components, to highly regarded components. Plus the Statement has a ribbon tweeter which is clearer, more refined.
The Statement should be stuffed internally (already) with natural wool. The Standard, probably would not. In experimenting with the prototypes, I (with the help of a good friend, Tom), stuffed them, tightly packed with natural wool. Big improvement.
One more thing, you MUST allow about a month for the Statements to break in. The components have to age a bit. They will NOT sound the same out of the box, as they do after break in. 
Please let us know what you think, and which pair you end up with.
