About the LS3/6

The Stirling Broadcast LS3/6 is a three-way loudspeaker designed by Derek Hughes and built under license from the BBC. It features modern drive units manufactured by SEAS in Norway, including an 8.6" polymer cone woofer, a 1" coated-fabric dome tweeter, and a 0.75" Sonomex dome supertweeter, arranged in a three-way configuration with crossover frequencies at 3kHz and 13kHz. The design adheres to the BBC's thin-walled, lossy cabinet philosophy using 9mm birch plywood with double thickness damping pads, finished in pair-matched wood veneers such as cherry, walnut, zebrano, ebony, or rosewood with a matt lacquer finish. It offers a frequency response of 45Hz to 18kHz ±3dB, nominal impedance of 8 ohms, sensitivity of 87dB, and power handling of 90 watts continuous and 150 watts short term (IEC268). The speaker is reflex loaded and weighs 18.5kg each. It is praised for its natural, non-aggressive sound, excellent articulation, neutrality, and faithful reproduction of live music, making it a favorite among audiophiles and music lovers. The LS3/6 is recommended to be used with 400mm high stands for optimal performance. Pricing starts at per pair for cherry or walnut finishes, with exotic veneers
