LS 3\5a is more towards the 'omissive side' of nuetral in terms of sheer detail or character (with most appropriate partnering gear), in turn benefits from this inherent nature.
My (older) WATT IIs do not do well with any of my OTLs!
Have not used Quad ESL57s in a while - with much mention of them recently - I pulled mine out and am getting ready to vacume them down good, charge em'up and listen this weekend mostly with AS M60s (maybe tubes pulled to lower p to p), I may have to pull OTL3s out too and visit the past . . . will post more.
Silverline SR17s reign supreme with everything (Levinson 336) SS or OTL tubed . . . freaking fabulous sounds with this speaker.
