LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?

Thanks fsdaron.

I have the Elac B6's now, which are great speakers for the price of $289. As good as they are, I wanted something a little better, especially for the highs. That's why I was considering the UB5's.

Anyway, what other equipment do you have? How much amplifier (watts) do I need to drive the LSA1's?

I appreciate the responses. Btw, the LSA1 Signatures and the LSA1 Statements are upgrades of the LSA1. It looks as if they all use the same enclosure and midrange/woofer, though.

The LSA Signatures are upgraded with a better tweeter (Vifa dual ring radiator), better crossover capacitors (Dynamicap metalized polypropylene) and the fiber inside the cabinet (lambs wool).

The LSA Statements start w/the Signatures and add better resistors and inductors in the crossover, and change the tweeter to an Aurum Cantus folded ribbon.

I'm not expecting the last word in speakers, but I do expect a significant upgrade over the Elac B6's and also want them to be better than the UB5's which I was considering.

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.
