LSA Group was proud to release two brand new products at CES 2009: the LSA1IC in-ceiling speakers, and the LSA1OW on-walls.

The LSAIC in-ceiling speakers possess the same revelatory nature which is characteristic of the entire LSA line. Expect highly natural tonality with the convenience of being highly custom-friendly.

The LSA1OW's are based on the LSA1 monitors, with exceptional audio performance, and are a virtual Swiss Army Knife in the world of onwall monitors. Considered a 'tripolar' speaker, the LSA1OW can function as a 2-way, bipolar or dipolar surround speaker, with two simple switches in front to make setup easy. They are also shallow enough to flank a flatscreen tv.

So if you have been deliberating whether to purchase a 2-way, bipolar or dipolar surround speaker, the answer is 'yes' - the LSA1OW. Both models are readily available through your local audio shop. Please contact LSA for dealer referrals.

This year's CES was a wonderful success for the LSA group. The star of our show was the new LSA1 Statement monitors, which retail at $2500/pr. In addition to playing in our own suite, we had the privilege of being featured in the FIM (First Impressions Music) suite where Winston Ma's holigraphic recordings were conveyed by our Statement integrated amplifier and Statement LSA1 monitors.

The LSA1 Statements feature a premium quality folded ribbon tweeter and a re-invented crossover network, including massive air core inductor on the mid-bass driver.

October, 2007 - CEDIA, Denver: LSA1IW Unveiled, LSA Monitor Extolled!

It's finally here!

As promised, the LSA1IW features The same mid-bass driver as the LSA1 monitors, a tweeter attenuation switch, an integrated backbox, pivoting tweeter and tuned ports, and it retails at $750.

Most importantly, though, it shares the same organic tonality of the LSA1 bookshelf monitors. Now, music lovers can have LSA sound from speakers that literally vanish into the listening environment!

June 15, 2007 - LSA1 IW In Wall Speaker PRE-ORDER Begins

Since the release of our highly popular and highly acclaimed LSA1 bookshelf speaker, LSA owners and dealers alike have been eagerly, nay ravenously, inquring about an inwall product from us. Satiation is at hand...

LSA has finalized the design and is now taking pre-orders from our dealers for the LSA1 IW. This greatly anticipated product will feature the same mid-bass driver as the LSA1 bookshelf speaker, a pivoting tweeter, a backbox and tuned front ports for enhanced bass response. The speakers will be available in the early fall, and the MSRP is $750.

February 1, 2007 - LSA10 (DK F7-XDream) Speaker Project Discontinued

When LSA Group acquired DK Design Group in 2005, one prototype speaker cabinet was designated as DK’s top-end model, proposed to retail for $17,000. The 300 lb. cabinets were machined from aluminum, acoustically inert and radical in styling. LSA developed a sophisticated crossover network and exhaustively tested the unit, resulting in excellent sound performance.

This model, with its contemporary styling, garnered much attention around the industry and we continue to receive inquiries as to the status of the project.

In the meantime, we determined that rising costs of aluminum, machining and transportation of this model would result in an estimated price to the consumer of $80,000 - far in excess of the original target price.

We have decided that discontinuing this project is the best course of action.

January, 2007 - CES Report

CES was a wonderful success for LSA, although the high-end suite accommodations were less than desirable. Sound bleeding from room to room was extremely problematic. Fortunately, we had friendly neighbors who were willing to divide the time.

In addition to featuring our production product line, we employed our prototype CD player as our source. The sound was tremendous. We expect to offer a production version late this year.

Countless new contacts were made, and LSA sales territories will continue to expand.

See CES photos below.

September, 2006 - LCR Theater Monitor Unveiled
