Hello, I have collected LS3/5a speakers for the last 30 yrs. I have owned numerous pairs and still have a few. Currently, I have a pair of Rogers setup on a tube amplifier with 805 power tubes 45 watts per channel. I have a friend who is very serious and deep into hifi audio and is mostly into current production items, not vintage components. He’s been to lots of hifi shows and dealer demo rooms. He owns expensive components along with IC cables that retail for $2,500. He says, my Rogers setup is one of the best sounds he’s ever heard regardless of price. I’ve never heard Falcon speakers but I did purchase a pair of their crossovers 5 yrs ago. I have personally found, the best sounding LS3/5a speakers ever produced use the Rifa capacitors in their crossovers. They are silver/blue looking. Every other LS3/5a speaker that uses other caps do not sound as transparent.
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?
