    As title really
    LSA-2 FLOOR STanding speaker in very good condition
    well reviewed american built speaker, quite rare in the UK
    Sound excellent with adjustable rear firing adjustable tweeter
    would be happy to swap for something like monitor audio gs20 or gs 60
    or B&W 603 or 604 or sell for around the £800 mark collected
    these where $2500 new so a good bargain

    How do they sound?
    In a word, stunning. There is no way speakers at this price point ($2,500) perform this well with all aspects of music reproduction. I had the LSA2s anywhere from 8’-10’ apart and the rear of the speakers were 6’-7’ feet from the rear wall. My initial impression of the LSA2s was that they sounded bigger than they look. They easily filled my listening room with music. The LSA2s’ soundstage is expansive but with good focus. The images across the stage were rock solid and there was never a need to move the speakers closer together. I probably could have spread them further apart but would have had the speakers up against the side walls. Image depth was noteworthy as well, as music seemed to be coming from beyond the boundaries of my rear wall. Image height was good as well. These speakers are extremely musical and have the ability to transport you to the original recording event. The dynamic range of the LSA2s is also very good. They have the ability to convey the delicacy of strings being played softly and still play clearly even when played uncomfortably loud. The treble performance of the LSA2s is revealing and airy. Highs are extended and clear, no doubt helped by the rear-firing tweeter, which I actually did not have turned up very high.

    I was also surprised by the amount of bass these speakers were able to generate. The bass performance was extended, detailed, tight and full with good impact, pitch and the ability to make things rattle in my room. The low end reproduction never sounded loose or dominated the room. The LSA2s midrange performance rendered both male and female vocals with a natural, lifelike tone and warmth and had the ability to transport vocalists into my room with a palpable presence. This the LSA2s were able to do while being driven by solid-state and tube electronics. Triangles and cymbals were reproduced with a good amount of shimmer and a natural decay without sounding hard or strident.

    These speakers are a real bargain at this price and rarely come up for sale in the UK, they sound great and easily fill a room with music, they can even be adjusted for room acoustics with the rear firing tweeter which is adjustable with a dial on the rear of each speaker further enhancing the sound quality
    and at this money are worth a punt, just look at the reviews
