LS3/5a DNA monitor loudspeakers

 Not only does the venerable LS3/5a  Speakers refuse to die, it continues to spawn new incarnations. The Kingswood Warren Limited Edition from Falcon Acoustics  named after the famous but now defunct BBC R&D facility south of London where the LS3/5a was developed  recreates the ‘no compromise’ LS3/5a prototype, designed in 1974, two years before commercial production began.

 Cabinets, crossovers and drive units are all meticulously realized to recreate the LS3/5a as it was originally conceived. Component parts are scarce so just 50 pairs will be made at a cost of, wait for it, £6495 per pair.
