They would not have used the 5A's for recording music in a studio the
5/8 was more the one for that. 5A was for OB vans and the like thats
what it was designed for!.


So there *was* a version for music (the 5/8) ?? That's very interesting.
Were the cabinet dimensions the same as the LS3/5a? Was it on sale to
the public? It would be very interesting to audition.

Strange that Dave didn't mention it:-)

The Lockwood Major was designed as a music speaker *for* (but not *by*)
the BBC, who were not granted exclusive rights to its use.
The LM earned a great reputation as a high power music recording speaker
in studios everywhere. It was commonly paired with the Crown DC 300 amp. A formidable partnership!
