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.
