   Of course, this may be rather expensive. You may want to consider
   another mini-monitor instead. The LS3/5A is no longer the state of
   the art, however fondly some of us may remember it.

This may not warrant a high-end posting, but being a Rogers fan I would
recommend an upgrade to something like the Rogers 7a (alpha). I listen
to acoustic jazz and classical and haven't really found the bass
lacking. This after auditioning many many speakers more expensive than
the Rogers. The 7-alpha may be discontinued but I believe there is a
sibling in the same price range.
