Page 3: Amplifier Requirements
4, 8 or 16 ohms loudspeakers. In this case select the 16ohms output. Because the “Classic” LS3/5a has low sensitivity and a nominal 15 ohms impedance, if not using a Valve [Tube] based amplifier rated at 25 watts or more into 16 ohms, we recommend using an amplifier with at least 60 watts output into 8 ohms. - Page 4 GRILLES The LS3/5a is different from many loudspeakers as it is designed to give its specified performance with the grille in place. Using the LS3/5a with the grille removed will therefore adversely affect the specified performance. The front grille Tygan cloth is hand-woven on specialist equipment in England.
