Amazing to me that a speaker that was designed several decades ago can sound so good! Wow...bravo to the designer of the Kef LS3/5A.

TAD is my cup of tea 😊

Thank you for the very helpful comparison video. LS3/5A sounds the most natural to me. TAD and B&W seem to be good at expressing details, but B&W doesn't have good transitions in the mid-high range, giving it a mechanical feel. TAD is also clear, but I feel a resonance-like sound in the midrange. The sound of the LS3/5A has a smoother transition from the midrange to the high range, and perhaps because of the compact, closed design, there is less resonance from the box, allowing me to immerse myself in the music. I think it's amazing considering the price difference.

Great video. Hard to find audio shops that Carry all those brands. Thanks

The TAD ME1 sounds superior to the other speakers on test. Specifically, the sound is more transparent and there is more tonal density and weight.

wonderful..!!! Thank you.

my two favs are ref 1 and ls3/5a

I did a test in my shop in the 90 ies of small monitors and Rogers LS3/5a came out winner by large....no other speaker was so studied by listening tests....

TAD好聽但是價錢夠買另外3對喇叭了😂

i prefer the kef ls3/5A, the most musical ? tad and kef reference are very close sonically not bad but something is missing (soul?), B&W is just inaudible more than a minute...

The TAD’s do something with the midrange that is not good - it’s artificial. If you were at that concert with Nils you would know that mids like that are very low / mostly eq’d out.

They all sounded exactly the same to me.

B&W is Winner !!!

You kept changing speakers to confuse us! Can’t make sound judgement

I do not understand why you would even put the LS3/5A in this test, to me its clearly much outclassed by the other speakers, the other speakers are high end and transparent to varying degrees, the LS3/5A almost sounds coloured. for if is no contest, i think the TAD was the most natural, KEF most neutral and B&W played nice too, they all played much better than the LS3/5A

what amp was used? thanks

Tad r the best one

the high of 805 sounds weird.

Tad me 1 is the winner

jesus the bowers sounds bad.

tad = 805 d4 > 3/5a >>>>>>>>>>>>>kef for me.

Thumbs down for the music without bass or dynamics. Its like showing sportscars at 10 mph and slow accelleration.
