JA reviewed a new amp in the most recent Stereophile and spoke highly of the combination. He has probably owned these for a long time; hence the question.
I suppose there are probably a few people who can not understand why someone who likes high power/current amps would want to use these amps LS3/5As. I don't think JA is one of these people, though.

Yes, the Lamm monoblocks driving the LS3/5As made musical magic, despite
the disproportionality in price. The LS3/5A still sounded like it always
has: a touch nasal in the upper midrange and bright in the mid-treble, but
the better the source components and amplifications, the less these aspects
intrude on the music.
Essential to use the LS3/5As on good stands: I use spiked 24" Celestion
SL stands with the central pillar filled with a mixture of dry sand and
lead shot, and the speaker coupled to the top plate with Blu-tack.

I hear the rage today is organic kitty litter. I too did the sand-lead shot mix... what a mess.

Not sure if it applies to steel stands, but yes the maker of Skylan stands suggests unscented clay kitty litter. I use this in my stands and it works great. Only downside is that some brands of this have a lot of fine clay dust in the backs in addition to the lil chunks of clay.
