The LS5/9f

A development of the famous BBC LS5/9, the LS5/9f is the
perfect choice for those who prefer floor standing loudspeakers over
the traditional stand-mount form factor.

However, the changes aren’t simply cosmetic. Yes, this model uses the
same handmade bass/midrange driver from Volt along with the 34mm Audax
tweeter as the regular LS5/9, both selected to the same tight tolerances.
But the larger cabinet allows for increased bass extension and greater
dynamic range.

Based on positive feedback from customers and our dealer and
distribution network, we have replaced the soldered connections for
tweeter level calibration with the discrete switch first seen in the LS6, which allows for subtle adjustment of the
high frequency level. This is useful to help overcome difficulties
presented by some acoustic environments, especially those with a lot of
absorbent furnishings and finishes.

The cabinet follows established BBC “thinwall” construction practice,
and includes the integrated plinth with flow-optimised port first seen in
the LS6f. As usual, the grille is held in place using hidden
magnets. A range of hand selected real wood veneers is available.
