Graham Audio LS6 Standmount Speakers

Following the success of the Graham Audio LS3/5 and LS5/9, the team at Graham Audio was curious to discover what could be done with a cabinet that was sized somewhere between the two. The Graham Audio LS6 offers much greater power handling and bass extension than the LS3/5 while retaining the lucid midrange and imaging.

Designed by Derek Hughes, the Graham Audio LS6 uses a custom long throw bass driver mated to a compact 17 litre cabinet, which provides bass extension and power handling that is comparable to the LS5/9. The bespoke 19mm dome tweeter extends to beyond 20 kHz. The overall response retains the smoothness of the BBC-designed models.

A large rear mounted port gives effortless bass, while allowing us to minimise the size of the cabinet to allow it to blend easily into typical domestic environments.

A sophisticated crossover network blends the two units and equalises the overall response for optimum performance in free space. A switch on the front baffle adjusts the tweeter level to +1dB or +2dB. This can be useful for situations where the listening position is off axis.

In common with all Graham Audio loudspeakers, the cabinet uses the classic BBC-style “thin wall” construction, where the panels are mass-loaded to ensure that resonances are moved away from the critical mid-range region, and a layer of Rockwool is held in place by fabric to provide 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.
