To my ears far less than any cone-and-box speakers I've ever heard.
Measureably lower distortion and resonances over the bulk of the
audible range. I certainly don't notice any colourations when using
them, but I do tend to with cone-and-box ones.

Indeed .. as good as what the Spendors and LS35/A's are here the Quads
are "the" ones for serious listening)..

LS 3/5a were designed by the BBC to be as good as possible a monitor where
space was severely restricted. Like in some applications in an outside
broadcast truck. Etc. Not as the best possible monitor regardless. And as
such they work well for domestic use. Where the same parameters apply.
I've got a pair in the kitchen and they have provided sterling service. As
do this pair in this room where this computer is.

Only someone who compares equipment by price would set them against larger
units.
