Harbeth / Rogers LS3/5a

For sale is a pair of Harbeth LS3/5a, 11 Ohm. Harbeth was one of the brands that obtained a BBC license to manufacture these legendary monitors according to BBC specs.

If you have come across the famous LS3/5a shootout:

published by Ken Kessler in Hifi News on june 2001, you may know that the Harbeth was the LS3/5a monitor that scored the highest in terms of fidelity to the original BBC monitor. Yes, the Harbeth sounded better than any Rogers pair, according to a group of 6 expert listeners.

If you have looked at this advertisement, you already know how good the LS3/5a monitors are. After 30 years, they still sound like no other. With the proper system synergy in place, these monitors can make you forget about upgrading your system!

This pair is in perfect functional condition, but as many LS3/5a pairs out there, looks used. It has several light scratches or dents here and there and one bigger dent at one of the corners of one monitor (see pictures). One of the two 'Harbeth' badges is missing. But, oh, the sound! Once you hear them, you will forget any cosmetically issues very quickly!
