The Graham Audio BBC LS5/8 is a UK-built, BBC-specification loudspeaker designed in conjunction with Derek Hughes and Volt Loudspeakers. It is a large passive two-way reflex standmount monitor with thin-wall birch plywood construction, intended to deliver high sound pressure levels, extended bass, and the midrange clarity associated with the BBC monitor tradition. It uses a 300mm (12-inch) Diaphnatone polypropylene bass/mid unit and a 34mm Son Audax tweeter, with a passive crossover that Graham says improves resolution and imaging over the original active concept.
