Rogers is excited to introduce a Special Edition version of the BBC-licensed LS5/9, the LS5/9 Classic SE.
Following on from the Rogers LS3/5A SE, we took the same additions and added them to the LS5/9.
The result?
A significant uplift in performance with separation, bass, stereo image all improved markedly. Structure and tonality take on new meaning as the LS5/9 SE lays bare every recording.
As we did with the LS3/5A SE, we have revisited the crossover for the LS5/9 SE version and upgraded the inductor cores
The LS5/9 SE also uses the highest quality dust iron cores as opposed to the cheaper ferrite alternatives. Dust iron cores require different winding parameters and provide a more natural tone, perfectly complementing the Panzaholz baffle's balance.

"I sat there rapt, the sound so natural and uncoloured that such matters as cost vanished. The LS5/9 is simply magical."
- Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, May 2021

Handmade in England, this is the best Rogers LS5/9 we have ever built and arguably the finest LS5/9 available today.
Matching Stands
Partnering the NEW Rogers Panzaholz stand with the Rogers LS5/9 SE loudspeakers deliver the most natural open bass performance from just about any reflex system, where effortless dynamics and superb lifelike tonality win the day.
Instantly Recogisable
Rogers SE versions are instantly recognisable with their new Gold badge on the front and new gold label on the rear. These finishing touches confirm the elevated performance worthy of an SE title.
Note: Rogers stands sold separately.
