Which LS3/5a?

I would like to add one more speaker to my small group of speakers and I am considering my first LS3/5a.  The Rogers LS3/5a SE or Falcons Gold Badge appear to be the two that have caught my attention but I am open to any suggestions from owners of other brands of ls3/5a's.  Currently I have been enjoying a Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers and would like to buy a ls3/5a and compare the two and keep one set of speakers.  So any LS35a owners out there?

Rogers LS3/5a! I have a pair. Bought on eBay from a seller in Lithuania (!) for $960. I first listened to the Rogers back in 1976 at Audiocom in CT. The price then was $450/pr. Now they sell for around $1800 used. That’s a good price compared to a new pair of the Falcon’s. The LS3/5a would make a great desert island speaker paired with an original NAD 3020 (which I also owned back in the day).

You should also consider the Chartwell and Goodman's versions, along with KEF.

Spendor made them too. FWIW Roger Modjeski owned the Chartwell version.
