Have a few purchased from the demo for 300 euros, because I was looking for something for my sports rooms.
The LS is processed top and looks very classy. It is extremely suitable for the living room and an absolute eye catcher. Moreover, he is verstärkerunkritisch. If I had to buy me to the LS an amplifier, I would favor a Yamaha or a Denon. The sound is relatively unspectacular. In the heights cautious, center-weighted tended. So rather no LS with a live musical character. The bass goes remarkably low, despite the relatively small volume and the use of only one bass driver. With proper installation, it is also relatively accurate.
The LS will be described in a review as:
"Elegant speaker with fine, full-warm sound"
That hits pretty well.
Bottom line, it is a question of price. Currently the LS is marketed from 265.00 EUR incl. Shipping. For this price, it is hard to get a similarly good sounding LS with this almost unbeatable optics. Taking the list price of 499.00 per piece as a basis, there are a lot of sound and visuals to alternatives.
