I was literally minutes from purchasing the Special 40's...

...when Shaun on YouTube brought out the MoFi LS3/5a's, I did some research, and now I'm torn. This midrange sound is what I've been seeking ever since I heard a pair of Proac SC1's back in the day. Would I get more of that midrange magic/reality from a LS3/5a ?... and if that's the right choice, should I spend the $3000 on a Gold Badge Falcon?

I recently heard an original LS3/5a (15 ohm) in a direct comparison with a current ProAc Tablette.  Both sounded very good.  The Tablette had a more open and extended top end, and in that sense, it is more comparable to other "modern" speakers.  The old Rogers BBC monitor  LS3/5a (it was actually bought from a BBC auction) has a more meaty, full and dense sound.  If I had to pick between them, I would go with the older model. 

This past weekend, I heard the latest Harbeth P3ESR, but not in comparison with anything else.  It sounded quite good too.  These tiny speakers are quite amazing.
