Te koop aangeboden: prachtige set rogers ls3/5a monitorluidsprekers. Bekend om hun uitzonderlijk natuurlijke middengebied, fraaie stemweergave en muzikale karakter. Deze klassieke bbc-monitoren spelen
At €995, this is good value for a Rogers LS3/5A if it’s genuine and working properly; current used-market chatter puts good pairs more like €2,300–€2,800, so this asks well below the usual range. That makes it a real buy rather than an ambitious one, especially for a classic name with strong collector pull.
The LS3/5A is beloved for its midrange realism, image focus, and small-room honesty — the sort of speaker people keep because voices and acoustic instruments just sound right. The upside is high if the cabinets, badges, and drivers check out and both speakers are matched. The main thing to verify is provenance and originality, since fakes and swapped parts do circulate; at this price, a clean, documented pair is the prize.
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.
