anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce?


do i replace the vandy or stay. iching for a change and new look but dont want to compromize overall quality especially bass? running marantz 2270, 2 kimbers for bi wire pr and 4tc , cardas crosslink 11, and using directv and a oppo for source. the lsa is much better looking and smaller footprint, but will noy sacrifice quality sound. price range 1 to 1.5 k
thanks to for the response.

i wasnt sure if you got my email so sorry if this bothers.
if i get the lsa 1 where do i get the low end from( below 38hz)? and is the power ok marantz 2270?
thanks bryon
Bryon84, I did not get your email. Frankly, you would have to get a very fast pair of subs, and this would put you out of your price range. The Vandersteens do not have much bass either, but perhaps down to 30 Hz, which is about what the LSA2s get.

I have a friend with LSA2 Statements who just got Tonion DL-T1s and thinks they are superior to the LSA2s. They also might be something you consider. They are $1800 a pair but only go down to upper 30 Hzs.
so there is not a full range speaker that actually goes to 20 hz or lower? or do you have to spend big $$$$$$? is your first name possibly tobin?
thanks for your response

It is rare for a speaker to get down to 20 Hz unless it is enormous in size. I used to have seven feet tall and 15" in diameter subwoofers with 2000 watts on them. They got down to 17 Hz. I never could integrate them with anything. I also only had Hartley 24" subwoofers first mounted a ceramic sewer tiles and later in big boxes. They couldn't do much over about 24 Hz. I think I had 700 watts on each.

Nope, Norm
thanks for you input,
so what your are saying is foor under 5k within the last 10yrs, the lsa 2 sig or lsa 1 sig is my best bet for a full range speaker depending on size that i want
for analog and 2 speakers( no subs).
my best to you
