Features Originally designed in the mid-seventies by the BBC as a small monitor for vans, control rooms, and other small quarters, the LS3/5a had a remarkable run for well over two decades before production ceased. Although it was never intended for consumer use, audiophiles were not long in discovering its virtues. First and foremost is a midrange of quite extraordinary richness and presence, with an almost palpable thereness, particularly on voices and acoustic instruments. Second is its sheer openness.
