When it first came out, the LS3/5a (mfg. by Rogers, Spendor, Harbeth, KEF
and several others) was compared to the original Quad ESL by Stereophile.
I'm not sure the comparison was really valid -- the spatial qualities are
very different -- but there's a certain tonal commonality to them.


Not really - the Quad didn't have lumpy fake bass..........


Lumpy fake bass?
The LS 3/5a has no bass at all, fake or not.
