Grant Fidelity LS3/5A - opinions

True dat. I think the patent's run out so it's poetic/moot. In any event the drivers are different for sure.

To answer the OPs question, bass is a major deficiency. They didn't get the superintendent pounding on your door. An extended cabinet version for the diy enthusiast was intended to cure that but it created problems elsewhere in the presentation.

I dont think you can hear Grant's stuff other than at shows, no dealers. Most of his gear is based on existing Chinese products upgraded to his specs. Some of it is quite pricey given that origin.

I haven't heard these,but it may be an option.LINK>>[http://www.ls35a.com/]

Its hard to figure where the newer Spendors fall into place like the ones for sale here.>>>[http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/srch_fs.pl]
