    Hi Martyn. If this is a sale offer, can you bung it under Private Exhibitions with the usual pictures & price please. Thanks, Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    A friend and I compared them with a pair of Spendor LS3/5as today
    and they acquitted themselves very well.

    I put these LS3/5as on eBay and had two Overseas bidders.

    In the end they have gone to South Korea.
    I'm aware that high prices can be had from Hong Kong '3/5a enthusiasts,
    and there is a thriving LS3/5a culture in Malaysia.

    South Korea will have to be added to these countries...

    'LS3/5as. I can't leave them alone'

    I have just acquired another pair to refurbish.
    My Wife thinks I may need to see a Counsellor to talk this 'obsession' through...

    What do other Forum members think ?

    Definitely need a councillor, but you will have to get into the queue.

    Well, as long as there are overseas collectors willing to spend huge amounts on these things, why not carry on? That's assuming that you do actually buy low and sell high, of course.

    I wonder how long the high prices will last for ?

    Incidentally, the Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a has gone up in price.
    They are longer shown with prices on the Falcon Website.
    If you click on Distributors, such as Doug Brady, it
    will give you the price.
    £2,100.
    They were about £1,500 previously.

    Plus they've dropped the Kit, one of which I built for a friend.
    I paid £823 for it.
    Jerry Bloomfield delivered it ( he lives about 20 miles from me ) which saved
    on shipping costs.
    The Kits were good value,
    especially last Christmas with a 1O% reduction.

    Now they are more than the Harbeth P-3ESR.

    MARTYN.
