The Rogers Owners Thread

Hi Ak'ers.

Can seem to locate a Rogers thread so here it is unless someone can direct me to it?

I just happened to source a low s/n matched pair of Rogers Studio 1's in very nice shape with original factory boxes. Had some listening test over the weekend in my garage and I'm shocked at how great they sound. I also can't believe how much power they can handle for their size. I will be doing a restoration on them in coming weeks, including a full recap and a clean up of the cabinets.

It's getting harder to find these niche threads tucked away in a sub forum somewhere!

I (re) discovered the Rogers BBC sound five weeks ago when I received a pair of LS4a's for a bargain $ 130 in UK.

I'm luvvin the sensational mid range so much my old Neats (had for years) haven't been back on the stands.

I remember a dem in a shop of these speakers back in the early 90s, thinking that the bass might lack a little drive. Not so. I'm not quite the rocker I used to be so my musical taste seems to have evolved to accommodate the Rogers sound.

I'd be interested on how the recap goes.

Love the look too!

Just found these speakers, the build quality is very good. Im not sure if its somethng original or a copy there are no labels anywhere. The odd thing is the dimensions is 12” tall 7.5” wide and 9” deep? Anyone have an idea of what ive got here? The crossover looks home made

Hey guys I have a pair of unfinished Roger's Studio 1 that all they need to get going is the super tweeter (kef t27) which I can buy from falcon and what I need HELP with the crossover.

I cant find the schematics anywhere so I can have someone build them..the closest i have come up with is the spendor bc1 crossover schematic.

Please help.
 
I actually built a pair of LS3/5A clones back when I was in engineering school (long time ago). I recently rebuilt the xover and cleaned things up a bit. Here is a picture of one and the original plans I found in a speaker magazine at the time (forgot the magazine name). I have made changes to the HF xover because as is it was to bright for my tastes.

I have two pairs of Roger's studio 1 ..

Can someone tell me which is the correct port tube length..or did roger experiment with these.
One pair is 5 1/2 and the other is 3"..

Also theb5 1/2 pair only came with xlr and the 3" came with xlr and standard 5 point mounts.20190508_180448.jpg 20190508_180510.jpg 20190508_180533.jpg

Hello... Are the Studio 1 speakers the head of the class Rogers speakers?
I have a very nice set of Rogers LS3/5a.
And a set of LS7 due to arrive but with one damaged grill that I hope to replace.
Anyone have an LS7 grill for sale?
