Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.


We are gathering a list of eight speakers to compare in two live events in

June 2022. Post covid we hope!

 

Trying to gather models which are not readily available for audition.

 

Please submit your One suggestion here. 

I will begin with my One -KLH Model 5. MRSP $2,000.

 

Thanks for the help!

Just bought the LSA 10 Statements. They have been in my system for a couple of days and can't imagine anyone telling others to avoid these speakers. They sound wonderful so far and they are not even close to being broken in. Much more dynamic than the maggie .7's that I was using prior to these. Bass is incredible. I have 2 rythmik f-12  subs and mostly have them turned off so far, the LSA's do go very low and deep.

I had them for 2 months, bought them new. I listened to them for weeks, side by side with 3 other speakers, same price category. They lacked the imaging, character, the dullest speakers I ever had.

The real bad sign was: I went to 3 dealers to trade them in, no one would bite, they said: "no one knows these, no on wants these"

I tried to sell it here and on usaudiomart for HALF of what I paid for it, it took 2 months to get 2 low ball offers.

On top of that, they were full of scratches when I received them. I spent $200 with a furniture maker to fix them.

 

It was an absolutely painful experience, and listening to them was no joy either

 

And I tried to do my homework: I contacted 3 reviewers to get feedback, None of them responded to me. So those reviews are suspicious to me, especially with what I heard.

@tweak1 

yes, I did, many times. He was reasonable in that he extended the warranty to the new owner who finally bought it from me.

Sounds like there may have been a problem with the speakers. I'm not hearing, as of yet, any of these things that you describe. In fact my magnepans are going up for sale. Sorry to hear about your experience with the LSA's!
