LSA Statements sound like. . . .??


I'm considering a pair of LSA Statement speakers to go with my LSA Statement hybrid amp. Since I can't find a dealer anywhere (San Diego area) that has a pair to audition, I figured I woud reach out here to see if I could get some indication. I have basically narrowed it down to the Statements or a pair of ProAc D28. I currently use a pair of ProAc Response 1SCs. I love the sweet midrange of the ProAc line and the D28 ability to have good bass at low volumes. But I can get the Statements for $2k cheaper and am hoping for some synergy within the same make. Comparisons to ProAc, Wilson Benesch, Dali, B&W, or Sonus Faber would help me out. Thanks...Tim

Shazam,
How'd you like to listen to the LSA 1 Statements in your home? Ironically, I am in San Diego, have a pair of LSA 1 Statement speakers, and am trying to decide if the LSA amps are for me. I'm not sure where you live, but I'd be willing to plan a trip to setup my speakers/stands in your home (or wherever) to see if either one of us can benefit from the pairing. I was just at CES 2011 and met with John Tucker in the LSA room. He was kind enough to swap out the LSA .5 speakers for the LSA1 Statements for a listening session. I believe the amp used was the LSA Standard (can anyone else confirm), and even so it sounded unreal. So much better than my current Arcam amplifier. Needless to say, I would love to hear how the LSA Statement amp sounds when connected to the LSA 1 Statements. Let me know. I've been on Audiogon for a while, with local face to face meetings, so I'm not a creeper.
