Product description directly from the L.S.A. website... Heralded as one of the best monitor speakers available under $3000, the LSA1 Statements are a musical work of art. The Statement monitor’s totally rebuilt crossover boasts Auricap capacitors, Mills wire-wound resistors, lambs wool damping and a massive 12 gauge air core ribbon inductor. The higher current capability of the inductor yields better dynamics and more control of low frequencies, enabling the Statements to deliver convincing bass down to and below 40 cycles. Our design team spent countless hours performing measurements and listening tests while incorporating a premium grade folded ribbon tweeter. Integration is seamless. High frequency performance is detailed, effortless and extended flat beyond 30kHz. The Statement monitors convey music in its most natural and uninhibited form - always detailed, engaging, and supremely organic.

Rated 8 due to I am not the original owner and there are some minute, very, very fine light surface scratches on the bottom of both which cannot be displayed since they are on the bottom. This issue can be easily addressed with ultra fine steel wool and wood polish although since they are not seen, I would leave well enough alone.
