Graham Audio LS5/5 Stand Mount Speakers

Straight away you’ll notice that the bass and mid-range drivers are mounted behind slots on the front panel. This feature is highly unusual today, but it works to control the off-axis response of the drive units which results in a smoother response through the crossover regions in typical listening environments. Not surprisingly, we get a lot of questions about this, so we have written an in-depth article explaining how the slots work.

Naturally, this is a BBC “thinwall” cabinet, where the relatively thin panels are mass-loaded to ensure that resonances are moved away from the mid-range region, and Rockwool provides air damping. Hand-matched veneers are applied and finished to a very high standard. The grille is carefully designed to minimise diffraction effects and is held in place by concealed rare-earth magnets.
