Musical Fidelity, a renowned British manufacturer of high-fidelity audio components, has introduced its interpretation of the iconic BBC mini monitor speaker, the LS3/5a. According to the MF website: “The LS3/5a has established itself as a benchmark in music and broadcast studios over the years. It is no surprise that it has quickly garnered interest from the audiophile community.”
The LS3/5a has been a staple in the audio industry for many years, produced by various loudspeaker manufacturers. The Musical Fidelity A1 has consistently proven to be an ideal match for Class A amplifiers. This combination yields a remarkably clear, detailed, and warm soundstage. “Crafted to the original specifications, our Musical Fidelity LS3/5a embodies the revival of this classic and highly coveted loudspeaker,” states the manufacturer. The Musical Fidelity iteration of the LS3/5a is a 15-ohm model with a sensitivity rating of 82.5 dB.
These speakers are constructed to meet the specifications set forth by the British Broadcasting Corporation, specifically BBC RD1976/29.
