You've said this before. Many many times. Most prefer the evidence of

every single bit of sound equipment ever made.

FWIW I find the LS3/5a works OK for the kind of purpose I think it was
designed to deal with. Items like voice and classical music at low repro
levels in a confined space. It has obvious limitations in terms of bass
and signal levels, but seems voiced to give an indication of what you'd
get from bigger better speakers in a larger room with a decent acoustic.

Quite. That some people hype it up into being something it isn't is hardly
the fault of the speaker or designers.

For near field monitoring for pro use (and domestic) it still takes some
beating. I get the impression many of its critics have never actually
lived with a pair. And base their views on a quick audition.
