You know the only true way to know is to listen for yourself. That said, the expensive little Harbeth's, are pretty darned mellow.
Most well rounded LS3/5A-inspired speaker?
LS3/5A and their ilk are known for their midrange purity. They give extension on both ends and dynamics, from what I gather.
Which LS3/5A type speaker overcomes these shortfalls (bass, treble, dynamics) best while maintaining (at least most of) that midrange heritage?

Speaker designer Jeff Bagby has a modern design called the Continuums based on LS3/5A format. It's available fully assembled from Salk http://www.salksound.com/model.php?model=Bagby%20Continuum or DIY kit from https://meniscusaudio.com/product/continuum-ii-full-kit-pair/ |
I’ve seen the innards of an LS3/5a and that kit doesn’t resemble the complicated crossover of the LS3/5a at all. The crossover in an LS3/5a resembles a small amplifier.Read the write-up; it uses different drivers entirely (but tries to stick to the gist of the design -- small sealed cab, midrange performance -- whilst improving bass, power handling, etc) http://meniscus.lightningbasehosted.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Continuum-Writeup.pdf |
