In Reply to: Another new LS3/5a - is this the most authentic yet? posted by mbnx01 on October 6, 2014 at 15:01:20:
I'm still enjoying my 15-ohm Rogers LS3/5A's in the bedroom and my 11-ohm Spendors as part of a HT surround system. I agree with others that the price seems excessive (probably the result of the cost of English labour). LS3/5A's still have a beautiful midrange that few speakers can match. Some contemporary speakers outperform it in resolution, dynamics, and flat frequency response, but few can deliver that seductive midrange.
As for the new Falcons, they look very similar to my Rogers. The Baltic birch cabinet is more attractive than most MDF-plus-veneer contemporary speakers.
