    Default FS: LS3/5a

    I've decided to move these on. Too many speakers lying around! Plus, soon I'm going to be after a Supernait 2.

    These particular LS3/5a's once belonged to Martyn Miles.

    The best signature from these LS3/5a is their midrange. Simply rich and seductive!

    There is some slight cosmetic flaws on the top and bottom, but noting too serious. Please look at the pics!

    If the buyer is in no rush, I'm willing to post these LS3/5a anywhere in the UK for an extra £15. Finding some suitable boxes will take some time though!

    Personally I'd prefer collection from my house in Torquay.

    £580 collected or £595 posted. I only accept cash or BT for payment.

    UK sale only.

    PM if wanted.

    A little more info. on these. I purchased new, unused T27s. which were mint. The B110s were purchased from someone who could measure drive units responses, etc. Not from eBay. ( It can be dodgy buying from there...) Jerry Bloomfield of Falcon Acoustics supplied the new FL6/23 crossovers as used in the new Falcon LS3/5as just released onto the market.
    The cabinets are ex. Harbeth HL-P3 ones, exactly the same as Harbeth used for their own LS3/5a. Later P3 cabinets were MDF. They were restored by a friend who is a restorer of musical instruments. The front baffle and hardware was from Stirling Broadcast, the tweeter grilles from Falcon. The Tygan front grilles from Sid Chaplin. Info can be found on his company, Traditional Radio Grilles, on the 'Unofficial LS3/5a Support Site .' The requisite cabinet foam was the correct spec.
    No cost-cutting was taken during construction, every step carefully made with advice from Jerry where I needed it.
    All who heard them were taken by them. I only sold as I now have a pair of Harbeth P3ESRs.


    Correct Kef SP1003s, NOS Kef T27s. Falcon Acoustics FL6/23 crossovers, Serial Numbers 26 A & B, built to match the drive units.

    How about a 'grilles off' piccie Shane?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Removing the grills is a bit challenging. Geoff.

    There is a picture (taken by the previous owner) showing one grill removed. Will look for it and post it later!!

    I've decided to put these back up for sale.

    I'm now asking £430 collected, or £445 delivered. This price now stays permanent.

    Instead of spending over 1.5k on shattered LS3/5a's, buy mines

    These are on spec, and are coming with renewed crossovers and good functioning drive units!!

    UK sale only.

    PM if wanted.
