from Craft Audio Summary:
Listening to these speakers makes you realize why the "BBC Monitor" theory had so many fans.
My LS8a's are quite modified, since all internal wiring has been replaced with High Quality AudioQuest Indigo 2 cable, crossover capacitors and resisors have been replaced with higher grade ones, and all components are now hardwired.
In addition the original internal damping material has been replaced with rockwool (which proved a great help in improving the bass definition).
Acoustic Music and Vocals are conveyed with so much detail and naturalness, you would need to pay a LOT more to get as near as close to the performance of the LS8a's.
Timbre is excellent, and in absolute Performance my "Old" LS8a's will eat my "New" and Highly acclaimed Infinity Delta 60's for breakfast.
With non Bass heavy music the Rogers simply sound like they are not there.
Comparing the sound of the Rogers with the sound produced by my Sennheiser HD600 Headphones i would dare say that they are amazingly close in midrange and treble performance.
Bass extension is remarkable too with a useful in-room extension down to about 25Hz. The Infinity's in comparison sound less extended.
To Sum up, this is a great speaker for listeners that do not demand very high volume levels, and listen primarily to high quality acoustic recordings, although they convey all kinds of music (at moderate levels) with the same magic. Strengths:
Open, Accurate, Transparent, Outstanding Midrange, Very good Treble, Very extended Bass (For their Size) Weaknesses:
Bass Definition could have been better, Reaches it's max SPL limits fast, Unsuitable for High Volume freaks! Similar Products Used:
Mordaunt Short MS25Ti, Infinity Delta 60
