Previewed at last year's Bristol Hi-Fi Show, Rogers LS3/5a Classic 15 Ohm loudspeaker is now in production in the UK. Manufactured to the original 15 Ohm BBC specification, the reborn Rogers LS3/5a is "once again setting the standard for this iconic speaker", according to the British speaker maker.
Also, thanks to a special mounting kit, you now get more configuration options for your LS2/5a.
Rogers AB3a Subwoofer
Furthermore, at The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2020, visitors will be able to be among the first to meet the AB3a active subwoofer.
The new low-end reinforcement replicates the design of the original AB1 - that is, it functions as a stand for the partnering LS3/5a.
Each active subwoofer utilises two Rogers LS3/5a bass units and is mass loaded with a specific resin to lower the resonant frequency and stiffen the Bextrene cone which stiffens the cone and so dramatically improves the low-frequency definition and bass attack, says Rogers.
Additionally, you can see how the AB3a further adds flexibility to the LS3/5a configuration options (below).
The AB3a cabinet is constructed from 12mm birch plywood (the same cabinet material as used in the Classic LS3/5a) and houses a 50 Watt mono amplifier. Each amp is adjustable for gain, frequency and phase response. The result is that the amplifier can be tailored to match the listening acoustics perfectly. The recommended connection is via the high-level input, using existing speaker cable and then jump links to the LS3/5a.
