In Reply to: KEF 105.2s are bright/harsh?? I want smooth speakers! Recommendations?? Anyone heard Rogers LS5/9? Other advice??? posted by Mr Blue Sky on March 27, 2007 at 15:08:48:
I've heard the Rogers 5/9 and owned both the LS 3/5A and the LS 7. I don't remember being exactly knocked out by the 5/9 but it was over a decade ago and my memory of the speaker is dim. Similarly, while I didn't dislike them, I was never a huge fan of the KEFs. I'm inclined to suggest that you try Spendor SP 1/2s. They are far from harsh - slightly soft at both frequency extremes and a touch warm but very faithful to the spirit of the music especially with folk, chamber music and acoustic jazz. You might find them too polite for some of your music tastes but if the ESL-57s worked for you maybe not. They don't have the bass extension or impact to really do dub and reggae well.
Even dimmer memories that might fit the bill are the Spendor BC 3 or the Snell but I don't think either would work well with your current amp.

That should say "...the Spendor BC 3 or the Snell A/III..."
