Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: LS3/5A - any use today (realistically speaking)?

If you've not going to put them on a multi-thousand dollar front-end, forget it. I've owned all the variants over the years (11 ohm, 15 ohm, Stirling V2) and they're nice. Yawn. The PMC DB1+ is my fav 'LS3/5a clone' and yes, I've owned most of those too. I have Magnepans now, I'm finally over my 'little British speaker' phase (which lasted about twenty years).

You've got five hundred bucks for a little speaker for a bedroom, right? Get thee to Best Buy and listen to the Definitive Technology 350 bookshelf speaker. 30 day home trial. I'm listening to a pair on my computer right now - they are wonderful, particularly in a smaller room.
