In Reply to: I've heard from audiophiles who I trust that they are significantly lacking in bass. posted by hukkfinn on April 8, 2007 at 11:33:54:
That's kind of like declaring, that after extensive study, you've just discovered water is wet at room temperature.Yes, they are lacking in deep bass, but they were designed as a near-field monitor for mobile recording situations, hence their legendary reputation for a superb midrange and outstanding vocal reproduction. Another news flash is they also don't play very loud.
There are many speakers not lacking in bass that don't possess the midrange quality of an LS3/5a.
Like any piece of well-loved classic audio gear, they do some things extraordinarily well and other things not as well. If you happen to be taken by the qualities where the LS3/5a excels, you'll love owning a pair. If other things impress you, you'll be better off with a different speaker. T'ain't no more complicated than that.
