About the Graham Audio LS8/1F

Full-range authority with the musical heart of the LS8/1

The LS8/1F takes the open, natural character of Graham Audio’s LS8/1 and builds on it with deeper bass, greater scale and the ease of a floorstanding design. The result is a loudspeaker that feels at home with everything from intimate jazz to full orchestral works, rock, folk and beyond.

Using Graham Audio’s thin-wall, damped cabinet construction and voiced by Derek Hughes, the LS8/1F blends BBC-inspired engineering principles with a broader soundstage and greater low-end authority. It delivers clarity, control and an unforced musical flow, letting you hear not just the notes, but the intent behind them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the LS8/1F differ from the LS8/1 standmount?

The LS8/1F offers the same tonal balance and midrange magic as the LS8/1 standmount, but with extended bass and a larger soundstage thanks to its floorstanding cabinet.

Will the LS8/1F work in a smaller room?

Yes — the thin-wall design and carefully tuned bass response mean it can perform well in modest spaces, though it shines in medium to large rooms.

Is the LS8/1F voiced for a particular genre of music?

No. The LS8/1F’s balanced, natural presentation makes them a joy with almost any genre. They capture the intimacy of acoustic and vocal recordings, the power and punch of rock and jazz, and the dynamic sweep of orchestral works. They’ll unravel every complex time signature, layer and solo with ease.

What finishes are available?

The LS8/1F is available in a range of real wood veneers to suit traditional and contemporary interiors. They can also be custom sprayed in your choice of paint colour and finish (price on application).
