The Graham Audio LS5/9F is a British-made floorstanding loudspeaker derived from the BBC LS5/9 monitor design. It keeps the same core driver complement as the LS5/9 but uses a larger thin-wall cabinet and integrated plinth to extend bass response and increase dynamic capability. The design is intended to preserve the classic BBC-style midrange balance while adding more low-end extension and a slightly more room-filling presentation.
