Rogers LS3/5a + NEW Audio Research I/50 [4Kᵁᴴᴰ]

[@Rabazoline397]

My father is owner of Rogers speakers for more than 30 years and I grow up with this sound character I just like the sound and they sound very good with most good quality amplifiers. I bought hi fi set for my home, but I still like to listening them when I visit my folk's. One day I will take them and enjoy because they are timeless.

[@veraluxmundi2032]

I inherited my dad's Quads and Rogers LS3/5A and Spendor BC1s. They sound so, so good.

[@jaapvander3787]

if you see this for sale anywhere, don't hesitate. there is almost nothing better. and I've heard at least 500 speakers in 30 years

[@JG-gg9wk]

Bass light but that midrange pure sweet magic.

[@robertgunter6540]

I've heard them. The mids are sublime!

[@degou3438]

@@robertgunter6540 sweet and musical…

[@JamesBrown-jy5sy]

Yes, you usually can not strong bass and a great midrange in one speaker. So in reality, take your pick.

[@morespinach9832]

Midrange alone doesn’t make anything “sweet”. Fanboyism.

[@asterixx6878]

@@JamesBrown-jy5sy Of course you can. There are plenty of speakers that have both a great midrange and a fantastic bass.

[@cremersalex]

Bass is surprisingly good.

[@3582jj]

I always get a little excited when I get the notification that there's a new video uploaded. Great to listen to such high quality stuff and new music.

[@djphat1736]

This makes my headphones sound better. It's not even fair. It's like your in the lounge with the band.

[@HumbertoSandri-z4e]

Agree!

[@peterc3143]

So clear and musical. Thumbs up, to this system 👍

[@budgethometheaterandhifi]

Wow. Big sound in a small package. Would love to hear these in person, I'll bet they image like champs.

[@veraluxmundi2032]

They do a disappearing act. It's uncanny how the musicians and singer seem to be right in the room with you. The soundstage is rock solid and yards deep.

[@freekwo7772]

Audio reasearch without hint of tubeiness. Excellent setup as always.

[@luisteps7027]

Sentite, live, in quel di Lissone; che dire, accoppiata a dir poco STREPITOSA !!! (capace, a mio modesto giudizio, di metter alle corde impianti di ben altra caratura ... e costo 😉 )

[@SoCalFreelance]

They punch above their weight for sure. Outstanding. 👌

[@keithbrandson6293]

Add a KEF KC62 subwoofer at $1500 or an SVS SB2000 at $500. Either would be perfecto in this setup. :-D

[@louv4437]

Audio research always sounding good!

[@alexbiketester]

interesting, my father worked at the BBC when they were developing these speakers. He was an electronic engineer and some of his ideas and design points (he told me he actually made the crossovers) were part of the original crossovers in the back of these speakers. I grew up watching oscilloscopes and quad 301 amps driving these. I had his original pair of 15 ohm with the 301 amp. Interesting,

[@veraluxmundi2032]

I use my LS3/5As with a Quad 303, which sounds great, but I think these sound better with the tubes.

[@nssound1002]

Очень музыкально и душевно! Excellently! 👍👏👏👏

[@59seank]

Thumbs up!

[@huwkelvinmorgan3575]

super impressive for speakers with such a small form factor

[@garyalexander5686]

That's a tube amp for those who don't really like tubes but want it to look like they do. It does sound pretty good, though.

[@joaquinbarreto9398]

What a track!

[@victorchan118]

[@antonioselman1640]

Porque siempre los audiofilos buscan piezas poco complejas para definir sus audios. Atrévase a buscar una pieza de concierto o sinfónica, a ver si realmente tienen buen sonido.

[@XÍNGẦU-x3s]

Which interconect and speaker cable?bro

[@jackjack1923]

Audio research is true AAA

[@MrJoaoAfonso]

when the cables are more expensive then your house

[@tacofortgens3471]

wow

[@jeffmoore4153]

They are designed to have the covers on while listening.

[@Manu_Nayar]

They work with tube Amp ? It’s only 82 dB sensitivity!

[@kimitoitou1059]

[@garyizzard839]

The sound is really coming from those rear horn speakers. 😅

[@albertoalbini2024]

Hello... a question. Can the KEF reference 101 be considered similar loudspeakers? Thank you so much

[@marcinlis645]

KEF is not in this league.

[@Alex-Paganini]

Отлично

[@grechan]

Just to give us a sense, what levels are you driving them to at 1 meter? The "40" indicated on the amp is maybe 40% but I am guessing you're at 80+db?

[@john9577WooYoo]

It is good sound

[@joncan2348]

Very few "audiophiles" realize that the LS3/5A are actually nearfield monitors!

[@dougg1075]

Whoever designed those things were supposed to get the voices accurate. Basically told them to make em Fi fidelity as possible.

[@joicejewerly5579]

Speaker stand for improving bass

[@marcoserafino835]

Il brano è in qualità CD o Hi-res ??

[@st-lr2uy]

What model speaker stands?

[@interesting7906]

The speakers are very musical but the distortion when the singer hits those high notes is way over the top. That passage... 'you are the angel glow' is too much for these silk domes at this volume. I think these are meant to be played at 80dB tops. I think if they are kept in a small studio at lower volume these are delightful. I m loving the amp too!

[@gaborozorai3714]

I think it's more the singer's voice getting a bit forced on those notes, I don't think I hear distortion. But you're right that these speakers are meant for near-field listening. In an average size room at a distance of 2.5-3 metres they are just a bit too polite for my taste and cannot be pushed too hard.

[@interesting7906]

@@gaborozorai3714 that's distortion 4sure, it's on the recording too but it's enhanced by the distortion of the speakers themselves. It doesn't sound like that on my speakers.

[@stipeilic2611]

What silk domes? Read specifications!

[@interesting7906]

@@stipeilic2611 Mylar sure, whatever! Same difference still distorting. Do you actually have a point besides deflecting? I blew a few dome tweeters in my day on piano passages.

[@노경문-l3h]

too much a big hall sound. Needed to add woofer depending on a person of favor. ^haha

[@somebodyx]

Its wrong playing them without the grilles

[@quadspeak]

The first Audio Research amp to sound good since forever (1982/85). The reason EZ no 6h30 The 6922/6dj8 6550 is far superior to the awful sound ARC gets today. Maybe the design team will learn how to hear again. The price is still too high and should be half of what it is but at least it sounds good. Of course the new Rogers are stupid money too. It’s too bad would like to get a new pair Had them in 79 83 and 88. Still the best but not worth anywhere near the current price. Audio needs to have a recession and get these prices where they belong.

[@xstensl8823]

their are two problems with this amplifier. 1. no auto bias. 2. no voltage selector.

[@arnolfini1434]

Why buy a great loudspeaker and use them without the grilles as designed?

[@AndrewNeilBaird]

Nice midrange , shame its a cheap and nasty tweeter , ask any sound engineer

[@lewischan8197]

無力水. No good.

[@Audiofreak71]

And they’re weak because you own a pair and you’re speaking from experience? . Please don’t tell me you made that statement based off a video 😂

[@Abraxus34]

so boring music.. its impossible to understand how this system sounds like with this type of music

[@Audiofreak71]

Same can be said for the music you listen to, it’s all subjective but I’ll give you a tip , buy a pair for yourself and play the boring music you play on them👍
