i see, luckily i didnt think longer to get that set yeah i will definitely buy a sub for it. for me it doesnt sound flat, it just sound sweet and nice nothing over.. flat is too technical term haha..

I was thinking of asking you to build a SEOS tempest 12 for me.

how much is the waf 1 ?
the body looks so nice

That cabinet is not very hard to build, but tuning with damping material will be a major issue since it is a front ported. Maybe I can help you to find a carpenter.

You can from Kuching right? Shoot me an email and we can take it from there.

You got my PM.

A luxurious setup. Audio Note M7 pre, Frank Voon power amps and power banks. Customer replaced his LS3/5A.

The speaker is reviews by Deaf Can Hear

I owned this speaker before, but now I found a better one for replacement, the Advanced Audio Acoustics JM3/5A, the mid is so much natural. This speaker actually is selling by someone is Lowyat.net and he offered "money back guarantee" for 1 week, so I gatal gatal called that guy and first I don't believe this speaker because it is made in Taiwan and you know the USHER kind of sound really a turn off for me, but no harm to try since can get back the money if don't like. So after installed everything properly, play the first song, oh how could such a cheap price speaker can produce such mid, I really never listened before any speaker under RM2000 even RM3000 to have such mid, the mid character is really like the famous BBC LS3/5A mini monitor, after google this speaker, then I found that the designer is a BBC monitor diehard fan and he is trying to reproduce the BBC sound character with minimal cost, and add more lower frequency and high frequency to it. The seller also a good guy, called me after one week whether I want to return the speaker or buy it, I just told him that I want to keep this little fella and then he emailed me an official receipt. Now this speaker is quite famous in Singapore and the selling price over there is SGD499.00 / RM1190.00. The spec is 51Hz to 30khz, 8 ohm impedance, 100w power rating and 89dB 1w/1m sensitivity. This little speaker is really worth to try.

interesting, would love to try one side by side

So poison...

Advanced Audio Acoustics JM3/5A is basically a BBC LS3/5a clone. There are many LS3/5a clones out there and I don't know about this one.

I don't know your taste of music. If you like to listen to vocal, you can give it a shot. But I doubt it has the same dynamic range as XLS Encore, judging at the driver and cabinet size (I may be wrong). Please noted that XLS Encore is neutral and flat across all frequency range, not just on mid only.

Is LS3/5a better than XLS Encore? I guess it all depends on a listener's taste. BUT, a independent shootout done in 2007 has shown that that LS3/5a clone couldn't even make it to round 2 of the test. I believe Gini is a much better clone than AAA where its design and layout is much faithful to the original ones.. Shhhhhhhhhhhh..... this winner is of course XLS (Unoptimized version of XLS Encore).

The review is here.

I would not say the AAA is better than the XLS, but I got a few hifi kaki, all of them like the AAA sound more than the XLS after they have listened to the AAA. For me the AAA isn't trying to clone the LS3/5A, but trying to retain the good mid of the LS3/5A with added more punch and airy high, after all you can still able to listen to the LS3/5A character from the AAA JM3/5A. Just base on the spec alone already can tell whether it is a clone of the LS3/5A or not!

I am glad you have found your 'sound'. Mind to share your setup of your XLS and AAA? Mind to elaborate your experience of AAA vs XLS?

I have a number of xls owners in KL, I am really sorry if we did not assist your (Your name is Matthew, right?) setup. We have a active support group here, and definitely happy to help you out.

We also want to know more about your spec and and your listening preference.
