i haven't heard the lsas, but i know the psb-- as you experienced, the psbs are a great speaker by any measure. i personally would choose them or the quite similar sounding paradigm signature over anything i've heard in the <$4000 class--somebody would have to offer me some revel ultima gems or utopia minis before i'd feel the itch to switch. like preaves there, i'd be very skeptical about your lsa dealer's claims and wouldn't be tempted unless i heard 'em side by side.
LSA1 Statement vs. PSB Synchrony 2B or 1B?
Hi,
I am looking for a great and sanely priced pair of monitors for a smallish (13 x 16 with 8 foot ceilings) room. I had the chance to audition Ascend Sierra's in home and thought they were "okay" and a great value, but just "okay." Then, I borrowed a pair of PSB Synchrony 2B's from a local dealer and LOVED them -- great vocals, plenty of bass energy for my room, and an enormous soundstage with lots of ambient retrieval.
Then, a dealer recommended the LSA1 Statement model -- said they totally trounce the PSB Synchrony monitors.
Any thoughts, my guru friends? Thanks!!!
