The BBC Legend, Reimagined. The Graham Audio LS5/9f is a sophisticated evolution of the iconic BBC LS5/9, designed specifically for listeners who demand the legendary “British Sound” in a contemporary floorstanding format. While it maintains the soul of the original stand-mount version, the LS5/9f is a significant technical development that offers deeper musical immersion and greater authority.

Enhanced Scale and Bass Extension This isn’t just a cosmetic change; the increased cabinet volume allows the LS5/9f to achieve superior bass extension and an expanded dynamic range compared to its smaller sibling. It utilizes the same world-class, handmade Volt bass/midrange driver and the renowned 34mm Audax tweeter—each meticulously selected to incredibly tight tolerances to ensure perfect channel matching and tonal accuracy.

Precision Tuning for Your Room Responding to feedback from audiophiles and professional dealers, Graham Audio has replaced traditional soldered connections with a discrete high-frequency calibration switch. This feature, first introduced in the LS6, allows you to subtly adjust the tweeter levels to compensate for challenging acoustic environments, such as rooms with heavy furnishings or high levels of sound absorption.

Authentic British Engineering The LS5/9f stays true to the BBC’s “thinwall” construction philosophy, utilizing a resonance-controlled cabinet that brings a natural, lifelike quality to vocals and instruments. The design features an integrated plinth with a flow-optimized port for smooth, articulate low-end performance. Finished in a range of hand-selected real wood veneers with a magnetically attached grille, the LS5/9f is a timeless piece of engineering that delivers a truly world-class listening experience.
