LS3/5a

Now that we are a snot-free forum, I'd like to throw out the first
audio discussion. I've been listening to these Stirling Broadcast
LS3/5as for a few weeks now, and I'm digging them. I'm amazed at how
smooth and full they sound, despite being about the size of a shoebox
(kids' shoes, even). Sure, I'm powering them with a conrad-johnson
ET250s amp and both a Nagra PL-L and McIntosh C2300 preamps. But man,
am I surprised by the sound. I've heard LS3/5as in the past, and they
never sounded anything like this.
Any other LS3/5a fans here? Critics?
**Over-rated and under-performing. There are MUCH better (more accurate)
products available. My own favourite is the late, lamented NEAR 10M-II. A
stunning performer, easily capable of embarrassing the more expensive NEAR
products and pretty much anything remotely close to it's original retail
price. I still use mine. I've never owned a pair of speakers for as long as
I've owned my NEARs.
