BBC LS3/5a:

These loudspeakers should require no introduction, having acquired 'classic' status.

Eventually, there will be some decent pictures and information here, but for now you can see the owners manual and an interesting review from the mid-80's...

In the meantime, check out http://www.ls35a.com/ for just about everything you need to know about these speakers - a superb site set up by Paul Whatton.

From there, you can find pictures, reviews, history and links to manufacturers. Details of the crossovers are also there. Additionally, you can find a link to the Yahoo LS3/5a mailing group, which is a very active source of information. As well as the messages, you'll find pictures, documents and databases. Highly recommended.

In fact, if you have a question about LS3/5a's, I'd strongly recommend that you looked at both those resources before emailing me. It's well-worth joining the Yahoo group, as there are dozens of experts participating there that know far more about the LS3/5a's than I ever could.
