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

Not 'listeners'. The 3/5s was made for pro use. And very highly regarded
by them. For the job it was intended to do.


The goal
of a high fidelity system is to recreate, as closely as possible, the
original musical event.

Ah - right. What sort of music would that be?


The LS3/5a is incapable of performing this.

Yes - it's not very good at reproducing a 32ft stop.

Other small speakers can do the job far more convincingly.

Given the 3/5a was designed some 50 years ago it would be quite surprising
if others hadn't caught up.

But you might also remember a large amount of the BBC output is speech.
And there are plenty rated 'music' speakers that sound dreadful on that.
