Roger LS 3/5A

Why do you wonder?

I have seen them for sale here and elsewhere from time to time. They are represented as real 11 Ohm Rogers LS3/5a. I don't doubt it, they were and are popular speakers with Audio people.

i thought most of them that i seen on the net are walnut or wood color rather than black

I had a roger ls 3/5a walnut which i bought new in 1989 and sold in 1990 as i do not have a decent amp at that time to connect to and i was conned by one of the hifi shop to trade in. When i went back to the shop the next day it was gone. I regreted ever since and by chance recently i managed to buy a black one from a guy, who got them around 84 or 85.As i paid quite a lot of money for it and hoping it is not a copied version as i do not want to open the cabinet to check for genuine parts. Speakers looked tightly screwed and sealed.

I understand now. The emphasis on the black finish. I profess my ignorance there. You are correct though thinking most if not all seemed to have dark wood finishes. That said, people do have special finishes made or refinish to match etc..
