Now that we are a snot-free forum, I'd like to throw out the first

smooth and full they sound, despite being about the size of a shoebox

Any other LS3/5a fans here? �Critics?
I mentioned them a few weeks back when some dude wanted high-quality
small speakers. I lost interest when it turned out they were for a
kitchen.
I have an idea the LS35a has 16 ohm resistance. Is this true? If so, how
do ordinary amps hold up?

These are 11-ohm. I've run them with the Clayton Audio Stereo 40,
which is 50 wpc of pure Class A, and the conrad-johnson ET250s, which
is 250 wpc. The Stirlings definitely like the extra power.
