Following on from the recent rebirth of the Rogers LS3/5a Classic 15 Ohm we are pleased to announce the release of the new Rogers LS3/5a Reference stand.UK research started into different types of stand materials. Initial research confirmed that a wooden stand resulted in a more even tonal balance and an enhanced sense of musical ease. Further research into different densities and types of wood suggested that impregnated ply wood ( under the trade name Panzerholz ) offered the ideal combination mass, rigidity and vibrational damping. An extremely hard multi-laminated material in sheet form. It is manufactured from beech veneers and synthetic resins under high pressure and heat. The resulting panel has metal like hardness and stiffness.Sitting mid-way between the high mass stands and the open frame type stands the Panzerholz stand has the optimum ratio of mass to damping. So unlike a metal stand vibrations are dispersed without any additional sonic ringing…Construction of the stand is based on a single upright for maximum front to back rigidity. Due to the strength of the material the top plate and base plates are bolted directly into the tapped upright. An elegant solution with minimum visual impact the Reference LS3/5a stand extracts the maximum possible sonic performance possible from the LS3/5a speaker system. Stainless steel M8 spikes provide substantial coupling to the floor whilst the top plate fixing is via cork discs.So how do they sound? In a word “Holographic” draining the vibration from the speaker cabinet whilst providing a rigid platform enables the LS3/5a to reach new hights in tonality, texture and spectral decay. Revealing a wealth of inner detail free from false emphisis….

Improving on a reference fifty-year-old design while remaining true to the original was no easy undertakingBut, once we heard the significant gains in performance, we could not ignore them.Extending our research from the Panzaholz LS3/5A loudspeaker stand, the next logical step was to question how the material performed as a loudspeaker baffle? Unsurprisingly,  it performed sonically much in the same way as the loudspeaker stand, delivering a more open soundstage and cleaner spectral decay.Giving greater insight already, we then looked at the crossover, which retains the same component values but now with upgraded resistors used for R1 and R2. If the cabinet is not tuned properly, the sound reproduced will never be correct. Critically damped 12mm birch ply enclosure
