About Roger British High-Fidelity
Giving greater insight already, the team at Rogers then looked at the crossover which retains the same component values but now with upgraded resistors used for R1 and R2.

Established in 1947, Rogers of England has been synonymous with high-fidelity audio equipment for over three quarters of a century.

For over three-quarters of a century the name of Rogers has earned the high regard of music lovers worldwide with the high standard of musical integrity its products have consistently achieved.

Founded in 1947 in North London, by Jim Rogers, the company produced a highly-successful range of thermionic valve equipment, including several exquisitely-built amplifiers. Later in the 1960s and early seventies, Rogers was one of the first British companies to lead the way with good-sounding transistor amplifiers and tuners.

During this period many loudspeaker designs came from a new factory in Catford, London, culminating in 1970 with the introduction of the LS3/6 studio monitor. This was the first BBC-licensed design and heralded a significant advance in moving-coil loudspeaker performance.

This was followed, four years later, by another BBC-licensed design: the legendary LS3/5A Grade-two monitor. Undoubtedly one of the all-time greats in loudspeaker design, it has inspired more interest and critical acclaim than almost any other product. Further research undertaken by the BBC resulted in the LS5/9 Grade-one monitor.

Introduced in 1983, original production carried on well into the '90s.

Improving on a reference fifty-year-old design while remaining true to the original was no easy undertaking, but once heard, the significant gains in performance could not be ignored.

Extending upon their research from the optional Panzerholz LS3/5A loudspeaker stand, the next logical step was to question how the ballistic panzerholz material performed as a loudspeaker baffle? Unsurprisingly, it performed sonically much in the same way as the loudspeaker stand by delivering a more open soundstage and cleaner spectral decay.

Handmade in England, this is the best Rogers LS3/5A they have ever built and arguably the finest LS3/5A available today.

Instantly recognizable
Rogers SE versions are instantly recognizable with their new Gold badge on the front and new gold label on the rear. These finishing touches confirm the elevated performance worthy of an SE title.

Optional Matching Stands
Partnered with the optional matching Panzerholz stand, the LS3/5A SE speakers transcends logical expectation of what is possible with a two-way transducer speaker system, ultimately sounding more like that of a high-quality point source panel speaker.

Note: Rogers stands sold separately.
