Offered is „LS 5/9“ by Rogers as exhibit from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3204550136 ends on 31.10.2026 at 06:30 o'clock.
The timing isn’t especially decisive here unless this is a later-production set or a well-kept original pair, but at €3,500 it sits well above the local used norm for comparable listings. Against your database anchor, that’s above the 75th percentile of €2,246, so this is ambitious rather than fair-priced.
That said, this is a classic, highly regarded monitor with a real following for its tonal balance, coherence, and natural midrange, so strong examples do command a premium. If the cabinets are genuinely clean and the pair is original and complete, the upside is provenance and presentation rather than bargain value; I’d want clear confirmation of originality, driver health, and any service history before paying this ask.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rogers, a storied British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1947 when Jim Rogers founded the company in Catford, initially as Rogers Development Ltd. The firm quickly established itself as a maker of loudspeakers and amplifiers, evolving through the 1950s with a focus on high-fidelity equipment. By the 1970s, it had relocated operations and gained prominence through its association with the BBC, which commissioned the iconic LS3/5A monitor speaker for broadcast use—a design that cemented Rogers' engineering legacy amid the UK's vibrant post-war audio scene.
The brand's product focus centered on loudspeakers, where it excelled with models like the Export Monitor featuring bespoke drive units and Celestion tweeters. Rogers also produced amplifiers, receivers, and integrated hi-fi systems, extending into niche areas such as car audio. While not heavily diversified into modern categories like DACs, headphones, or cables, its core strength lay in compact, precise monitors and full-range speaker systems renowned for clarity and bass control.
Today, Rogers holds a revered position as a vintage collector's favorite and high-end heritage marque, particularly among enthusiasts of BBC-licensed designs. Acquired by Hong Kong's Wo Kee Hong Group in 1993, it briefly revived UK manufacturing before shifting abroad, yet retains a niche boutique appeal for its timeless sound quality and historical cachet in the mid-to-high-end market.
