Given a company in the UK like Falcon - pretty small - has gone to the
bother of having things like the B110 and so on re-manufactured, and can
do complete kits to make your own 3/5a, wonder why they've not bothered
to re-manufacture this wonderful (and inexpensive) speaker of yours? If
it really is that good, would be a winner.

To be fair you have to consider that the B110 has been used in countless
designs over the year, far from just the LS3/5A. I could probably name at
least a dozen off the top of my head. Also, I'm pretty sure that at least
one of the people involved in Falcon was ex KEF.

All true.

But given Mr Wilson's insistence on how wonderful the NEAR was, it smacks
of some form of conspiracy to suppress it.


**Don't be silly. The (true) hi fi industry is a minuscule part of the
audio business, which makes it a minuscule part of a small part of the
world's economy. NEAR drivers are (slightly) more expensive to
manufacture than regular drivers and, presumably, the bean counters saw
these facts and ceased production. Nothing more sinister than what
accountants do every day of the week - suck the joy out of life.

Make no mistake: Come the revolution, the lawyers and accountants will
be the first ones lined up against the wall.
