Hi,

1) The Richard Allen LS3/5a will cost you RM8k. I believe Tong Lee won't bring them in anymore so the RA's will be while stock last.

2) The Sterling LS3/5a will cost you RM6,800.00 with special finish (Ebony,Rosewood etc.) while regular finish will be near RM6k. p.s bare in mind the sterling does not use the original tweeter,mid-drivers and crossovers like the original ls35a such as Rogers, Spendors, RA's.... though it sonics does resembles the character of LS3/5a.

3) Spendor S3/5 cost over RM5k around 1 1/2 years ago. I suspect the price may go higher nowadays.

- Try to look for used LS3/5a. If you are lucky, you just might find one.

As for me, I'm keeping my Spendor LS3/5a. After listening to mini monitors such as Harbeth P3, Pro Ac Tablette Reference 8, PMC DB1+, ATC SCM 7, I just preffered the legendary mini monitor : LS3/5a !!

this are all the creams of speakers.
in fact i was looking for a harbeth C7 se and was quoted Rm 6200. so tempted to have it. still looking for some 2nd hand ones. anyone got friends wanna sell?
IMHO all speakers mentioned above have their own distinguished features. as the saying goes, music is very subjective
wish to have a C7..........but, it way out budget.

WOW! That's unbelievable.... Just last month, the AE700 is going for RM6K cash & carry. I nearly bought it but after doing some research on some forum, decided not to go for Pana due to its reliability problem and especially the unexpected short lamp life.

Yes, I heard that Pana prj is shorted bulb live, but with extra bulb u can easily push up to 3000 - 3500 hrs. Merely for watching DVD movies, 3000 hrs can last me at least 10-15 yrs. biggrin.gif

My current cheapo BenQ prj 2 yrs now,only done 318 hrs yesterday. doh.gif
