LSA Signature 80 Speaker

[Gregjacob]

Thanks so much. That's what I was seeing when I made the purchase and this confirms! Much apppreciated.

Great looking speaker, love the cabinets. Guessing a GRS planar with a Dayton Reference woofer. Would love to hear these in person.

I wish I was in Phoneix, AZ for this deal. It's as good as it gets (hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this, please delete if inappropriate) -

Thanks for the tip. The only unit out in the wild is the pre-production one I hand assembled and is undergoing review at the moment. The photo looks like the same one I built - in fact it’s the same one based on the fingerprint of the unique rosewood grain. I suspect this photo was from a reviewer. There’s something not right here because that unit is not for sale.

I thought so as well, but wasn't too sure. And not sure how they're up for sale if they're doing the rounds for review purposes. Anyway, I have a friend who's very interested and is trying to see if he can get someone to go there on Saturday. If he does manage to get them, then I'll borrow them for a few days (he lives next door ).

I had responded to that add, and the person was not good to deal with, then it was pulled then reappeared, and now supposedly sold. I have blocked the seller, hard enough to buy online, not wanting to tempt fate.

Any more upcoming reviews on the Signature 80 by major mags or YouTube reviewers?

 

[xrk971]

Yes, please standby. We just got delivery of the production ones so it will take a few weeks to get those sent out to reviewers and for them to review.

 

[Harley90]

Just unpacked mine, can't wait to fire them up, smaller than I expected, drop dead gorgeous though.

 

[xrk971]

Wow, one of the first ones to get delivered!
Photos if you can please.
Have fun!

Gonna be a bit till I can pull them out, I've run out of room, speakers and gear are everywhere.

Very pumped to have them.

Thanks for such excellent design work!

Hello,
I am really interested to hear your first impression. Thanks a million!

 

[xrk971]

Yes, me too. What amp will you be using?

 

[Harley90]

Still haven't set them up ( too busy at work) but will try a few amps with them, starting with the Schiit Aegirs mono blocked, warp one and an old Anthem beast 200w at 8ohm , 2channel AB class, maybe try a Sony ES...The cabs are awesome, very striking speakers.

Got mine last week, definitely warm non fatiguing sound with my tube amp. From what I am hearing so far, those speakers will definitely benefit from a muscular amp with good headroom.

 

[xrk971]

Nice to see these out in the wild! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Analoguefan]

@xrk971 You are very welcome, I am still trying to put my hands on a quality high power solid state amp to experience the full potential of the speakers.

 

[xrk971]

If you are into DIY amps, the FH9HVX is excellent. If you want a premade amp the LSA Warp-1 is superb. The HyperDrive-2 preamp will round it all off very nicely.

Any update yet?

After connecting the lsa with tubes and SS amps, I definitely prefer the tubes sound specially if you roll some of the tubes to match this speakers sound which to me, it definitely lean toward laid back and slightly on the warm side (slightly).
