For Sale: Rogers LS4a Loudspeakers in a Black vinyl finish.

Great condition. Grilles also in good condition as they are not normally removed.
No dented tweeters - they have guards anyway. I have photographed them each from two different angles but it ain't easy as they are quite reflective.
Smoke free home.

Multi-award winning speaker from 1989. I recall it was the darling of all the magazines at the time and the top 5 star recommend for a very long time at it's price point of £240 which was quite a lot back then.

Closed box so bass starts to roll of early but more slowly than a ported box so it goes very deep. The lowest notes from these will surprise you compared to ported boxes of this size. Power handling is 150 Watts unclipped. Impedance 8 ohms. Sensitivity is 88dB/Wm. Woofer is 205mm polypropylene. Tweeter is a very sweet 19mm aluminium dome.

I waited a long time to find a good pair of these and have enjoyed them for many years. I thought I would never sell them but the Cesti MB have taken over and as I am moving shortly to a smaller place, all surplus stuff has to go as I won't have room for it.

£80 collected from Glastonbury

Delivery up to say 30 miles for petrol cost (10p per mile each way in my Dinky toy). If you are between Glastonbury and Torbay, I regularly go to places along this route so free delivery would be possible in Torbay, Exeter, Taunton and surrounding areas.

I'm still working on finding a box or boxes for these and shipping will be quite expensive as they are quite heavy so collection or personal delivery only for the moment and we'll see if they go.

Ooh, I am seriously tempted but the better half would kill me. I heard them back in the day and they are very nice acoustically, partnered with a nice amp they make fine music, and yours look in lovely condition. These look perfect for Audio Al:D

Go on. You know you want to :)

They partner well with the Topping TP20 mkii - hint hint :eyebrows:

In between the Zu Druids going about 5 years ago now (why did I ever sell those :rolleyes:) and the Cesti MB arriving last year, the Rogers have been my main AV speakers. They sounded great with the Marantz PM6005. They sounded amazing with the RME ADI-2 DAC and XTZ Edge A2-300 power amp. No sub required for movie watching.

Bargain

My dad had a pair of these around 2004/5 fond memories they were good and remember all them these years later - I was given the Rotel amp and Denon CD player he got with them at the time that started me off on the road to where i am today and due to this i'm still running LS7's Happy days

OK. You're next in line. The sale won't complete until the 16th but I know the buyer. I've bought from him before so I'm holding them for him.

Nice speaker at a very good price that work well in typical uk rooms. Great introduction to a BBC flavored sound for sensible money.

Bargain guys, just because they don't cost a motza don't dismiss them. Perfect speaks for a lazy day listening to BBC radio 3 or 4. Build on this series is no nonsense sensible, they are easy to drive and they don't suffer the cone sag of the bextrene coned Rogers.
If you want but cant afford Harbeth, these are the perfect substitute ��
