The Graham Audio LS4/4 is a floorstanding loudspeaker developed by Derek Hughes from the BBC LS5/5 studio monitor concept. It keeps the same tweeter and midrange driver as the LS5/5 but uses a smaller 270 mm bass driver to suit smaller domestic rooms while retaining the slotted baffle system for improved focus, soundstage, and a wider sweet spot. The design follows the BBC thin-wall principle and is intended to deliver studio-grade performance in a more home-friendly format. A current retail listing shows the LS4/4F variant at $18,990 USD.
