small room speakers

Hey Quadphile. In my honest opinion....Chartwell's version of the LS3/5a was the better sounding example than all of the other 15 ohm itterations. I still cherish my rogers though.Mine are truly mint!Maybe you would like to trade?

Ecclectique,

Who would in his sane mind would want to trade the Chartwell 15 Ohm version in Rosewood finish, probably few hundred were made and less than a 100 in use!

In 1996 (during economic boom) folks in HongKong were willing to pay $6,400 for a pair, not sure how much it is worth today, Maybe around $2-3000.

My son will inherit it.

Sorry to disappoint ya!

I've listened to the S3, the Sig, and the bigger one. The Sig is clearly too bright when in free-space on a stand; it was developed specifically with a new tweeter for the US market. The bigger new one sounds less tight than the original, which although quite inefficient, is the best balanced. I'm still surprised that Spendor didn't wake up and sell their SC3 center TILTED SIDEWAYS as front L & R pairs. This design is a vented S3 using TWO mid/woofers, thus having far higher sensitivity, and sounding GREAT in between my Spendor S3/1P's. But I AM talking about bigger boxes...sorry. That baby Quad 11L is quite nice for 1/2 the price of the S3. The Brits love to sell them when folks can't afford the Spendors....

I know I don't have the speakers you are looking for, but my room is tiny (8.5' x 12') and I love the sound. Please look at my system.
