leave nostalgia and other irrational reasons aside, what do you think how would LS3/5A rate today against the best of small design out there on the market in a similar price range - i think if proac tablette ref 8, ATC 7 or similar.the reason why i am asking is i'm offered to buy an old audiomaster LS3/5A for OK money ($500). i honestly don't need them as i doubt there is a situation they can be of a better use than my active ATC 20s, except to make the second rig in the bedroom whose size and shape is not audio friendly at all. i know that considering the asking price there is no risk involved, but i am more curious actually if it is rather a myth than a real reason for being still in demand, especially that they are becoming less and less serviceable.
