I don't remember seeing a difference in the KEF B110 woofers used in the LS3/5A's. They were supposed to be selected and matched per pair. My tech friend said that the earlier versions used an autoformer in the x-overs. As regards sonic difference...

Cable recommendations for Exposure 2010S2 ?
I have two of the Aristons - a pre-Linn version and a later S - great TT's - equal to the Sondeks! You already have a fine system! I'd leave it alone and just enjoy listening to favorite recordings! IMO there is no need to be neurotic about wire. ...
