DJ360 6,728 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Letsav... My speakers have been the same for over 20 years. I won a pair of Rogers Studio 3 from Hi Fi World Magazine around 1995 ish. They are a small infinite baffle design, based on the classic BBC LS3-5/A, which was originally intended as a near field studio monitor. I run them with Rogers AB3 'Auxiliary Bass Units', which Andy Whittle (Rogers' designer) kindly made for me. So, what they amount to is a small floorstanding speaker.. but a very high quality one. They don't do 'seismic' bass, but they go respectably deep, and they really score on stereo imaging, very fast response to things such as Ashkenazy playing the old piano, and very good tonal accuracy. I've found nothing to replace them in my room. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,532 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I used to look after Tom Fletcher's piano. I have just learned today why I haven't seen him for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the LP 12 is a revered turntable for many. I had one for the better part of 20 years, which was probably at least 15 years too long. It never really 'delivered' for me. I now have a Michell Orbe SE, and LFD amp and Rogers speakers. I also use an Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 server, which holds all of my digital music so I don't have to battle with thousands of icky CD cases. I had some spectacular valve stuff, including Papworth kit.. but it is all beaten by my LFD integrated amp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
