**The LS3/5a is the most over-rated piece of junk ever to be foisted on
the audio industry. It's continued existence is adequate evidence that
most listeners believe what some reviewers say, rather than listening
for themselves.

You've said this before.

**Have I? Cite.


Many many times. Most prefer the evidence of
their own ears.

**I am well aware of the delusions practiced by many listeners. The goal
of a high fidelity system is to recreate, as closely as possible, the
original musical event. The LS3/5a is incapable of performing this.
Other small speakers can do the job far more convincingly.


That's not to say they ain't over hyped by some. Same as
every single bit of sound equipment ever made.

**Nope. Many products lack hype and are allowed to disappear into
obscurity, if they are found to be lacking. For some odd reason, the
LS3/5a continues to be manufactured.


Don't get me started on LS3/5a speakers. And don't tell me how the BBC
designed them. The idiot who designed them should be shot.

No BBC speaker was designed by just one person. Always a team.

**Line 'em all up against the wall.
