I recently re-located to the New York City Area and am trying to get my system put back together. It centers around a pair of Rogers LS 6 speakers and an Audion Sterling Amp (which you have discussed in past musings...thank you).<br /><br />When you refer to the "Little India," what neighborhood is laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770623941776488548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395121002488101245.post-46410295009820055412019-05-26T22:46:17.566-04:002019-05-26T22:46:17.566-04:00Man!

You should show it to your wife - she would glow!<br /><br />No, the LS 3/5 is not good. It needs too much room reinforcement and like the Linn Kan has to be placed close to the wall for optimal performance.
