They do... At the expense of everything else IME. Wouldn't pay more than £200 for a mint pair but that's me.I thought the LS3/5a are supposed to have some kind of midrange magic and everything else crap
They are probably on their way to Japan...
The LS3/5a's went for £2,178.00, sheer lunacy IMO

That's just mental.. I've got a mint pair of Sterling LS 3/5a's which, due to not being very old, would knock spots off those condition wise and possibly sound wise too, and I'd be lucky to get £1,100 for mine

Nor I!
The previous X and XV models went for 250-ish.

IIRC, two Exposure IV power amps have sold for £250 recently on EBay. The preamps usually go for, say, £150. Sometimes even less. That's still £100 less money for a big pre/power than the integrated 25 (and a IV will blow the snot out of it). Exposure integrateds are vastly inferior to their decent pre/powers, so I just don't get the pricing. The integrateds are still decent amps, but things like the IV and Dual IV are right up there with the best available. They are the real bargains IMO.
