Hi Mark,
I've had multiple pairs of LS3/5a and in fact for a period 45-35 years ago I ran a "Double LS3/5a" system (ala the 1970s Double Advent System) wired in series for 30 ohms, driven by a pair of Julius Futterman OTL monoblock amps. And I've had some since then too. I know what your problem is and I've worked on prior examples for others.. I'm in Los Angeles and would be happy to assess and get them working for you.
The T27 tweeter *with the perforated dome screen intact* is part of the LS3/5a sound. I have heard of people doing the punctured dome/screenless mod but have never actually encountered it. I'll listen first to determine whether mod is worth correcting, and I think I have a leftover matched pair of KEF T27s in my closet of stuff-that-might-come-in-handy-one-day.
Anyway, if you're interested in taking me up on this, PM me here on Agon to work out the details.
Phil
