They were never designed to be a full-range monitors used in a far-field listening environment; as is required for speakers used in domestic listening rooms.
The fact they sound surprisingly good when used away from the environment for which they designed, is no justification for either excessive praise or damming criticism. Given however the absurd prices increasingly being paid, the notion of the 'Emporer's new clothes' is understandable.
That's a low price compared with some eBay auctions of LS3/5as.Quote:

I like my LS3/5as as speakers that sound good on broadcasts by the BBC.

Shockingly pricey pair of Lowther Acousta speakers. Fitted with older generation PM6A drivers.
