Quite apart from the design differences the kan has a dramatically better tweeter fitted than the Ls3/5a.
In your opinion...

More like German Scheiße after one's Kans have been driven to within an inch of their lives for a couple of decades; especially so, after those B110s sag into a fartin' and a buzzin' along.It's certainly dramatic...if you're into Kabuki, but better? Not in this, or any other, Universe.
I well remember when myself and the manufacturers of Kudos and NEAT speakers all kinda worked together and they came into my workshop in the basement 10 mins or so after some music had started playing up two flights of stairs in the listening room... I said "what the hell speakers are playing up there cos they sound wrong even from down 2 flights of stairs.." they grinned and said in unison "isobariks!!" and we all ripped the piss out of them for a while... True story.
So we go from Kans & LS3/5as to Isobariks.
Some threads really do wander...

Thank You. I have seen somewhere that Kans sensitivity only 85 db, so maybe nait is not enough and pair of 135 seems very expensive for the Kans.Kans work well with a nait. Certainly no more than 100w is required. They would sound nice active with a pair of klouts or a quartet of 135's.
Snap1 - thats what I used for many years! The Meridian is still going strong...I’ve used an old Meridian 101/103D on my Kans (Mk. 1), and that sounds pretty good

I used a 101/103D with my Spendor BC1s.
In a moment of madness I sold it to buy an integrated amplifier.
