Thank you, Sir Ichabod! And to our WS LS3/5A moderator and members.
It became clear after hearing your speakers that the LS3/5A is very special. I also thank you for your support and advice during my search.

Thank you. Frankly I could use some advice. I know some amps have synergy with the LS, like your Quad.
I have EL34 and some KT88 amps. I very much love PP EL84 same as James.
Richard Lim is going to send me an amp he and DR King have developed as a business venture in a few months time. It’s a PP KT66, somewhat like an older Leak. John and Richard use vintage Leak KT 66 with LS. I have to respect that very much.
PS So what do you think of the Mac?

Though we are expected believe that they should sound the same, once you see the insides then you get to understand the small differences in sound. From the Bi-wire specimens that i have the Rogers seems to be the most mellow but it is also the most particular with regards to cabling. Even the links in the binding post would be a big factor and the configuration in the attachment to the binding post. My spendor would sound in-between the rogers and Harbeth. The Harbeth being more revealing across the entire freqs. It would be very hard to generalize the character of each brand since variations in the specimens do occur counting out the amount of play they recieve.
with permission from the mod i'll post some pics to show the differences.
