Musical Fidelity LS3/5A & LS5/9 BBC speakers
In the ongoing ‘well I’ll be knocked down with a ball peen hammer’ series we have the Musical Fidelity LS3/5Aloudspeaker, priced at £2,349 RRP (€2.499) per pair. The LS3/5A is a two-way standmount loudspeaker manufactured according to the BBC R&D design 1976/29. Originally specified for listening places where space was limited – like mobile control rooms for television – the LS3/5A quickly became an industry standard for music studios. The little speaker also swiftly gained a vast (and ongoing) following in audiophile circles, and this latest version continues the story of one of the world’s most beloved infinite baffle boxes.
Summer 2023 also marks the arrival of the Musical Fidelity LS5/9, priced at £4,099 RRP (€4.500) per pair. The Musical Fidelity LS5/9 was manufactured according to the BBC R&D design 1983/10 and delivers a two-way bass reflex speaker designed to fulfil the complete range of music genres from classical to pop music.
Musical Fidelity will show both new speakers at High End where a third model will be unveiled, this again draws inspiration from the past and is fully prepped for today’s audio consumer. Expect a high-voltage device that is the perfect partner for, say, a pair of Musical Fidelity LS3/5A.
