    Vintage homemade LS3/5A (CS1A?) 8 Ohm

    I got lucky and bought these LS3/5A homemade speakers from the 70s. The person I bought it from had inherited it from family who ran a HiFi shop in the 70s.

    David or Goliath - LS3/5As or Klipschorns?

    Am considering selling my 15ohm Rogers LS3/5As for a pair of Klipschorns I'm about to demo in a day or two. Love the Rogers - superlative at what they do, but would like similar transparency, soundstaging and imaging with some more oomph. You just can't play Massive Attack et al on the LS3/5As...
