Description :
The LS3/5a has a renowned history that provides some insight to its longevity. In the early 1970s, the BBC was in need of a small monitor speaker for use in outside broadcast vans. To that end, they commissioned their design team to develop such a compact speaker that would fit that working environment. The outcome was the LS3/5a which was then licensed to commercial speaker companies for production. Aside from Rogers, other manufacturers licensed by the BBC to produce the LS3/5a were Chartwell, Audiomaster, Spendor, and Harbeth.

The LS3/5a 15ohm is a well known speaker for it countervailing attraction is its midband. It has one of the least colored midbands around. It presents the correct musical and tonal balance of the different instruments. The speakers cast a wide, deep, and stable soundstage. The human voice is rendered unadorned to be appreciated. It sounds like a big speaker minus the low bass.
