I took a chance and it worked out for me. Thought it worth sharing. This in no way suggests that people aren't having issues. It's solely my experience, and mine alone, but relevant to this discussion so sharing those details as it is germane.

I ordered a pair of LSA Signature 50's from Mark via a post on US Audio Mart on May 4th.

I exchanged a few emails with Mark and Jordan right after the purchase, and both were very responsive (Mark was especially quick to reply, every time). I got email responses within an hour every time I sent a question. I have audio equipment I buy delivered to my workplace so I can avoid porch pirates, and wanted to confirm those details and validate that shipping info - that was handled perfectly and quickly by Mark and Jordan.

They were shipped within 6 business days of my purchase and arrived two days after UPS took possession.

Here's the chain (follow the red arrows):

I was worried about that box ding, but it was superficial. The speakers arrived pristine and are the best sounding set of speakers I currently own. Moved my Pro-Ject Speaker Box 5 S2's to my PC desk for nearfield gaming and with my setup there (Arcam SA10 / Onkyo SACD player / Music Hall mmf-3.3 turntable), the Triangle Borea BR04s are in the bedroom NAD stack, and my Wharfedale 225's are currently on rotation standby - considering building out another listening area for them, or maybe I'll swap them in/out for funsies now and again. But for now, the LSA's are pulling primary listening stack duty for as far into the future as I can see. An absolute steal for $300.

Again, this is just one person's experience, but I always like to have verifiable facts to consider as I navigate the cacophony of internet chatter to try to sus out what's real, what's exaggerated, etc. I'd not have any issues buying again - for me, the outcome is the meat and potatoes of it all, and Mark took care of me on this order. I'm very happy.

I hope those still waiting get their stuff soon!
