I was looking this speaker up and found photos of the LS5/5 which looks like a predecessor of the S100/M40.An even more interesting beast is the BBC LS5/1AE which uses a 15" Goodmans bass driver and a pair of Celestion HF1400 tweeters. In earlier versions one was rolled off above about 5 Khz, in later versions (the pair I have) they run in parallel from 1.7Khz. I only learnt this recenly when in conversation with one of the KEF Engineers who worked on the production version (realisation) of them!!
if life was as simple as " a 3 way is better then a 2 way"...Since your knowledge is vastly superior could you tell me I can ditch the port plugging by high-passing my ported speakers at a frequency above the system resonance?
And the Neumann link merely informs that a three way is better than a two way in that respect (which is better than one), and going three way also gives potentially lower harmonic distortion in the bass.
This is clear in the graphs, which is why I like them.
Like I've said a few times, my comments are in relation to absolute performance. A 2-way is the minimum but can be bettered.
All topologies have advantages and disadvantages but some have higher performance potential than others.
did you had both in your room (40.2 and ls58)? Did you found the ls58 mids lacking in any way? just curious how the 12 inch was able to do the mids...I've owned both the LS5/8 and the Harbeth 40.2. Both are very good and it really comes down to personal preference. In the end I sold both since I preferred the Graham LS6.
+1, yes please.interesting! care to describe 30.2 vs lS6?

I'd really like to compare graham Ls58 vs Harbeth 40.2
The 30.2 is more "hi fi", the LS6 more musical and more fun. The LS6 is definitely more dynamic, and there is subjectively more bass, although it is a little bloated. The 30.2 is probably a bit smoother in the treble, and smoother overall. Both speakers are quite warm, but the LS6 sounds a bit darker, and tonally richer. This dark, rich, dynamic sound is what I find very engaging.
Yeah, whatever.From your report I would say that whilst the perceived dynamics and exaggerated bass and harsher treble may sound more engaging they are artifacts/colourations. The 30.2 is probably a much better speaker.

I have the ls5/9, love them, don’t find the treble to be harsh, maybe the room making the difference, mine is well damped and large.
Ps, I liked the Grahams much better than the Harbeth.
To be clear, I didn't find the treble of the LS5/9s to be harsh. Quite the contrary. I just found it to be too prominent and out of proportion.I have the ls5/9, love them, don’t find the treble to be harsh, maybe the room making the difference, mine is well damped and large.
