Grant Fidelity LS3/5A - opinions

The Rogers LS3/5 is supposed to be built to the BBC spec's from what I remember.The Rogers doesn't have any low end bass,but it can give the illusion that it is a lot bigger that its actual size.The Rogers has nice highs and a midrange that is good on vocals,percussion,and a endless list.I believe the Rogers was 70-20,000 +-3db. I can't speak for the Grant LS3/5 because it may not be the same as the BBC spec built British monitors like the Rogers were,and I haven't heard them.It would be nice if someone did a comparison between them.

Haven't heard them but had some Chartwells for a time. Some discussion about it at the audio asylum:

On one hand, any originals still kicking around have to be a little tired. On the other hand, the knockoffs aren't true to the original and to some may even sound better. For about $400 less per pair Gini Systems has an Asian knockoff without the piano black, which wasn't available on the original either.

One thing's for sure, the originals were a garbage in garbage out speaker, if the material, source and amplification weren't up to snuff it showed.

are these 'under license' or is this a 'poetic license?'. there seems to be a flood of these...
