Yes that is tempting to collect more but I lack the space!!

Listening to these speakers is a challenge as they were built for specific purposes and environments, as such it will be difficult to assess them fairly. I could get an idea in non optimum environments but as you say they would only work in the environment they were intended for.

Some say and as cites earlier in the thread, the LS5/5 were the last of the truly neutral of the larger BBC monitors?
