@jasonbourne71 - I made my previous post before I saw your second post. The pair of Roger’s you got- are they the 15 ohm circa 1980 version?
Harbeth P3ESR versus LS3/5a by Rogers/Falcon/Sterling/etc
The P3ESR has been described as the best evolution of the 3/5 (or some similar wordings), and some of the Falcons (Gold Badge or ?) have been described as the best version of the LS3/5a.
so which is “better”. Or perhaps better stated, which do you prefer? And why?
If it influences your comments, I would be driving them with AtmaSphere class D monos with a Conrad Johnson ET7 tube preamp

I have directly compared the Harbeth P3ESR and the Spendor SP3/5R. The Harbeths sounded great, the Spendors were, to my ears, even better! It could be a matter of personal preference though, taking into account that I clearly preferred my Spendor SP2/3R2 speakers to the Harbeth M30.2 Anniversary monitors (and another audiophile friend agreed). Generally speaking, the Spendor sound is a bit sweeter and warmer, more colorful and joyful while the Harbeth is a bit more sober, "serious" and, at least in the M30.2 case, with a more refined (but perhaps not quite as well integrated) tweeter. Also, the Spendor SP3/5R had a very good bass for their size!. |

@yogiboy - thanks, but man, it would have been easier if you would have just sent the link, rather than cut and paste it. But good info in that review |
