Built in a laminated birch plywood box that appears to be identical to that of the LS3/5a, the Rogers Studio 3 keeps the older speaker's inset baffle. Mounted on the baffle, however, are completely different drive-units: a 19mm fabric-dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter from SEAS, crossed over at 3kHz to a 110mm woofer of Rogers's own manufacture.

A little less accurate than a 3/5A maybe, the Studio 3 is altogether faster, bouncier and in its way more fun. It’s almost as though Rogers have managed to combine some of the better characteristics of the contrasting 3/5A and Linn Kan 2 designs in one single model.
