Curved enclosures aside, LSA Group's LSA1 bookshelf and LSA2 floorstanding loudspeakers bear a suspiciously strong resemblance to the discontinued Von Schweikert VR-1 and VR-2 loudspeakers, both of which always garnered favorable reviews.

 

LSA has added a new variation of their LSA1 loudspeaker to their speaker lineup. The LSA LSA1 Statement uses the same 6 1/4" paper cone as the other models, but instead of the silk dome used in other LSA offerings, a ribbon tweeter has been implemented. Coupled with an entirely reworked crossover, LSA claims the statement betters the frequency response of the standard LSA1 at 30-32,000 Hz, as opposed to the base LSA1's 45-20,000 Hz. If true, 30 Hz is quite extraordinary for a bookshelf loudspeaker. 

 

I have had the opportunity to audition a pair of LSA LSA2 floorstanding loudspeakers and found them to be competitive in the price tier they occupied. The LSA LSA1 Statement loudspeakers will set you back $3000/pair. If their frequency response claims are true, they deserve an audition if you are in the market for a higher end bookshelf that can fill out the lower registers like a floorstander.
