At the 2026 Hong Kong High-End Audio Visual Show, Richcoln specially set aside a dedicated Rogers exhibition room within the Hall 3 F01 booth, making it one of the most highly anticipated highlights of the entire show. As a legendary British brand renowned for its BBC monitor loudspeakers, Rogers celebrated its 75th anniversary this year. The room featured a full lineup ranging from brand‑new flagship models to classic 75th‑anniversary limited editions, drawing large crowds of loyal Rogers enthusiasts on pilgrimage each day, creating an exceptionally lively and vibrant atmosphere.

The centrepiece of the Rogers room was a top‑tier demonstration system featuring Italian LECTOR electronics driving the Rogers PM510 S3 large bookshelf loudspeakers.

On the digital source side, the system employed the LECTOR DIGIDRIVE TL‑3 top‑loading CD transport, paired with the DIGICODE S‑192 DAC and the PSU D‑192 external power supply, forming a separate‑component digital playback system. This combination, with its sophisticated digital processing, transformed CD signals into a refined and emotionally engaging analogue character, delivering stunning detail and a three‑dimensional soundstage that left a deep impression on all who listened. The preamplifier was the ZOE CS, while amplification duties were handled by a pair of VM‑200M monoblock power amplifiers, providing ample driving force to perfectly control the PM510 S3.

The Rogers PM510 S3 is a flagship addition to the brand’s 75th‑anniversary series. This 15‑ohm passive monitor loudspeaker is derived from the passive design of the classic BBC Active LS5/8 Grade One. It features a 12‑inch VOLT British‑made PVC‑cone bass driver with a double‑roll surround and long‑throw design, and a 34mm soft‑dome tweeter based on the original BBC Audax HD34. Following the same rationale as for the bass unit, Rogers has again upgraded the voice coil to copper‑clad aluminium. The crossover network has been redesigned and upgraded, employing wax‑impregnated iron powder cores; the wax treatment prevents coil vibration during dynamic operation, and the iron powder cores exhibit lower distortion than standard ferrite types. The bass and treble circuit boards are separated and hardwired. With a sensitivity of 93dB and a power handling of 250W RMS, the PM510 S3, driven by the LECTOR system, demonstrated professional‑grade accuracy and exceptionally low coloration. When playing various music genres on site, the PM510 S3 delivered a natural, authoritative, and commanding sonic performance that won over every audiophile who came to listen. The all‑new PM510 S3 is an upgraded version of the previous PM510 S2, which was discontinued in the 1990s.

The static display was equally impressive. Rogers exhibited several highly collectible 75th‑anniversary limited‑edition loudspeakers: LS3/5A 75th + AB3a – a matching set in China Red – To commemorate the dual milestones of Rogers’ 75th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Rogers specially launched this limited‑edition set finished in a brilliant high‑gloss piano red. The vibrant China Red symbolises cultural pride and festive spirit, making it the most eye‑catching visual highlight of the room.

LS3/5A 75th Teak – Featuring a period‑evocative solid teak veneer with a black Tygan grille and a gold Rogers nameplate on the rear panel, this model faithfully recreates the classic aesthetic of the 1970s. Each pair bears an individual serial number and the hand‑signed signature of chief designer Andy Whittle. LS5/9 75th Teak – Also finished in teak veneer with a signed backplate, this is a quintessential model that inherits the BBC monitoring legacy.

During the show, Rogers’ chief designer Andy Whittle made a personal appearance, engaging in close conversations with Rogers fans. Whittle not only provided detailed insights into the development process and technical features of the PM510 S3, but also personally explained how this flagship monitor reinterprets the classic design of the 1980s BBC LS5/8 – from the selection of the 12‑inch long‑throw bass driver and the precise tuning of the 18‑element crossover network, to the acoustic considerations behind the 15‑ohm impedance matching. Attendees seized this rare opportunity to ask questions and engage in lively exchanges with the designer, further energising the room’s atmosphere.

At the 2026 Hong Kong Advanced Audio‑Visual Show, New Han delivered a moving musical performance titled “The Legend Returns” in the Rogers booth at Hall 3 F01. From the stunning opening performance of the PM510 S3 flagship large bookshelf speakers driven by the LECTOR Italian system, to the spectacular debut of the LS3/5A 75th China Red edition, and the in‑depth explanation of design essentials by Chief Designer Andy Whittle in person, every segment thrilled Rogers’ loyal fans. For numerous enthusiasts who came out of great admiration, this was more than just an equipment exhibition; it was a heartfelt tribute to the BBC monitoring legend. The touching charm of that classic British sound will surely linger long in the hearts of every attendee.
