Rogers LS2/A2 monitor speakers

Founded in 1947 by Jim Rogers, Rogers International success is mostly built on the commission contract awarded by the BBC in the early 70's, for producing the LS3/5A monitor. Overall, including licensees like Spendor and Harbeth, 50.000 pairs of LS3/5A were produced, making it a fairly popular monitor.

While other products were developed, including amps, they did not spread to the same extent, and most "non BBC" production remained targeted at niche, connoisseur market.

Changing hands and management over years, let us now focus at our pair of LS2/A2. We are in 1991, and Rogers present a series of domestic loudspeakers "ready for the nineties". Super high standards, modern materials and production processes, pre-delivery pair matching, rigorous inspection, high-level range of components and construction, all those qualities happened to pay.

As a good surprise, these LS2/A2 were somehow "fairly affordable", and sold in adequate numbers enough for spotters like Vintage Note to source a good condition pair.

The listening session is nothing but bluffing. While presented as a domestic pair, the presence, the detail and imaging are at professional monitor level. The rendition is smooth, full of life, vocals, soloists and acoustic instruments are a total charm.
