Cool. I have about six pairs of LS3/5a's. I may be able to offer the odd bit of advice, but I've never built a pair myself.

6 pairs, kerrrrrikey you need help! :) I'm available....!
Ta for the offer of advice Mr Abod. I've actually purchased an entire kit to do it from Falcon Acoustics who are one of the current License holders I believe. Not cheap but I've wanted a pair since I spent 4 1/2 years listening to them everyday whilst working in a TV/AV workshop in Camberwell/Brixton in the late 80's early 90's. Powered by a Mission Cyrus IIRC, loved the sound in that little workshop. At roughly the same time and for 19 years I lived with a pair of Rogers Studio 1a's before I discovered what Full range (sorta!) single drivers in horns could do on the end of Single-ended Valve amps and sold the Rogers to fund a DIY horn build. The new listening room at home (long-suffering partner insists on referring to it as 'our-conservatory-dear'...Pffftttt!) is gagging for pair of monitor's as we sit very close to the listening position (oops I mean comfy sofa looking down the garden).
Complex Xover is back to 15R again as they're sourcing hand build rep's of T27's and B110's. Details if you're the inquisitive type here -> http://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/ls3-5a/ls3-5a-b110-t27-cabinet-kit-complete.html

Hey Mr Rodabod, I've now got a pair too. Whahey, finished making them yesterday. Turned out great, plus I taught myself how to Veneer at the same time. Real Teak, 2 coats of Dark Oak flavoured bees Wax, lorra lorra work.
Yummy.

They do? Wowee, I didn't know they were still in use, I'd have thought it was all done on a laptop thesedays :) I've got some photo's I took of the transmitter hold of the Ross Revenge (I'm an Anorak as well as a tweaker.... I know...) an it was the 1st time I saw an Optimod in the flesh and what was left of the Ampliphase TX'ers. Electro-swoon!
As an aside, I'm just about to start building a pair of LS3/5a's.
