Sound quality

Even though it was inadvertently presented among significantly more expensive models, the listening panel was mightily impressed by the LS2a/2, forgiving its slightly heavy and overblown bass and thoroughly enjoying the delightfully open balance, the fine mid-to-treble coherence and the natural vocal qualities.

The balance may confer a relaxed, slightly lazy and laid-back presentation, with a touch of chestiness and thickening, but the LS2a/2 handles complex rhythms well, staying quite nimble, agile and light on its feet.

Given the modest size, some lack of genuine extension and scale is inevitable, and ultimate loudness is limited, but the sweet balance and good control are a positive encouragement to explore its capabilities. It makes a particularly good match with Heybrook HBS1 stands, both aesthetically and sonically.
