Verdict: "The "Holy Grail" of record LS3/5A to some aficinados..."

So 48 years after it was developed, the LS3/5A is alive, and as one fellow devotee noted, sounding better than ever."

The LS 3/5A is a commercially manufactured loudspeaker that was developed by the BBC for monitoring and evaluating the quality of radio programs. It was derived from the LS 3/5, which was designed in the early 1970s by the BBC Engineering Department under the leadership of Dudley Harwood. After the BBC could not find a commercially manufactured small loudspeaker that met the requirements for naturalness and sound neutrality, it wanted to develop a loudspeaker that would achieve a natural overall sound quality and a good dynamic range for monitoring broadcasts in confined spaces.
