Edit description

A development of the famous BBC LS5/9, the LS5/9F is the perfect choice for those who prefer floor standing loudspeakers over the traditional stand-mount form factor.

However, the changes aren't simply cosmetic. Yes, this model uses the same handmade bass/midrange driver from Volt along with the 34mm Audax tweeter as the regular LS5/9, both selected to the same tight tolerances. But the larger cabinet allows for increased bass extension and greater dynamic range.

Based on positive feedback from customers and our dealer and distribution network, we have replaced the soldered connections for tweeter level calibration with the discrete switch first seen in the LS6, which allows for subtle adjustment of the high frequency level. This is useful to help overcome difficulties presented by some acoustic environments, especially those with a lot of absorbent furnishings and finishes.

The cabinet follows established BBC "thinwall" construction practice, and includes the integrated plinth with flow-optimised port first seen in the LS6F. As usual, the grille is held in place using hidden magnets. A range of hand selected real wood veneers is available.

Graham Audio LS5/9f Loudspeaker - The Absolute Sound

theabsolutesound.com

The Graham Audio LS5/9F loudspeaker elegantly marries BBC design heritage with modern enhancements. Its floorstanding form extends bass reach, tackling the LS5/9's previous limitations. Despite minor bass warmth and a roll-off in high treble, its overall sound balance verges on neutrality. The speaker excels in producing realistic, coherent sounds, especially noted in orchestral and piano recordings. While not a bass powerhouse, it offers sufficient depth for most music genres. For audiophiles craving authentic timbre and detail, the LS5/9F is a compelling choice, though it may require careful placement for optimal results.

Graham Audio's LS5/9F speakers deliver a warm, inviting sound that envelops listeners in a rich auditory experience. Their design intentionally emphasizes warmth and richness, particularly in the bass and midrange, resulting in a charming and natural vocal clarity. While not the go-to choice for hard rock or those seeking analytical precision, they shine in their faithful and emotionally engaging midrange reproduction. The floor-standing LS5/9F offers deeper bass and fuller tonality, albeit at the cost of some transparency compared to the monitor version. Ultimately, these speakers excel in tonal naturalness, making them a compelling choice for audiophiles prioritizing emotional connection over sheer analytical detail.

Graham Audio's LS5/9F floor-standing speakers capture the essence of BBC's classic monitor design while introducing a modern twist. These speakers excel in delivering a natural, uncolored sound that's perfect for audiophiles who value musical authenticity over hyper-detail. They're incredibly dynamic, with a warm, tangible presentation that makes vocals and instruments feel lifelike. However, if you're after razor-sharp precision or deep, controlled bass, these may not hit the mark. The LS5/9F requires a powerful amplifier to shine, but once paired correctly, they offer a rich, coherent soundstage that rivals more expensive competitors. While not for everyone, especially those who prefer a more analytical sound, they are a stellar choice for those who appreciate a balanced and natural listening experience.
