Description

Edit description

The Graham Audio LS5/9 studio monitor is a remarkable blend of historical craftsmanship and contemporary acoustics. Initially designed by the legendary BBC Research and Development team, this monitor is tailored for both professional studios and audiophiles desiring a touch of the classic BBC sound in their home setups. The LS5/9 features an innovative 8-inch bass/midrange driver, developed in collaboration with Volt Loudspeakers, to deliver pristine audio clarity and depth.

Each LS5/9 monitor is constructed with a dedication to detail, utilizing the iconic BBC "thinwall" cabinet style crafted from high-quality 9mm birch plywood. This construction technique not only contributes to the monitor's durability but also enhances its acoustic performance by minimizing resonance in the critical mid-range frequencies. The cabinet's exterior is finished with hand-matched veneers and reinforced with hardwood batons to ensure integrity and longevity.

The sonic experience is further enriched with a selected Audax 34mm soft dome tweeter, shielded by a sturdy metal grille. A sophisticated crossover network ensures seamless integration and balance between the drivers, providing an expansive soundstage and uncovering nuances in your music that you've never noticed before.

Ideal for users with discerning ears, the Graham Audio LS5/9 offers a listening experience that's both authentic and immersive, a result of its meticulous design and heritage.

Graham Audio BBC LS5/9 loudspeaker REVIEW ~ The Sound Advocate

thesoundadvocate.com

The Graham Audio LS5/9 loudspeakers deliver a captivating listening experience with impressive mid-range clarity and a robust stereo image that brings recordings to life. Their construction boasts excellent build quality, embodying the BBC's legacy of sound accuracy. However, some listeners may notice a slight thinness in the upper midrange, particularly with certain recordings, which might detract from the overall experience. While they excel in bass response for their size, the sensitivity rating may require higher amplifier power for optimal performance. Overall, the LS5/9s are a well-crafted tribute to classic BBC design, appealing to audiophiles seeking authentic sound reproduction.
