The LS5/5F is a development of the LS5/5. Using the same drive units and crossover points, the larger cabinet results in even more bass extension - reaching well below the -2dB point of 35Hz in practice.

​

We have also taken the opportunity to add the tweeter level control to the front panel. This allows the tweeter level to be increased or decreased by 1 decibel, and while the effect is relatively subtle with most programme material, it has proven to be a really popular facility that allows the listener to fine-tune the speaker to their listening environment.

​

In common with the stand-mount LS5/5, this model uses slot-loading to improve the power response of the unit, which greatly improves the behaviour in typical listening rooms. Much more about how this works can be found in this in-depth article.

We continue to use the BBC-style "thinwall" cabinet construction, which uses relatively thin panels that are mass-loaded to move resonances away from the critical mid-range region.
