Harwood Acoustics

What Does BBC Engineering Mean?

In the 1960s and 70s, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) developed speakers for its studios with unmatched standards: linear reproduction, low distortion, and tonal neutrality. Models like the LS3/5A and LS5/9 were developed in-house and later manufactured under license – this is exactly where Harwood Acoustics continues the story.
Today's replicas follow BBC specifications to the millimeter. They are not reinterpretations but deliberate reconstructions – built with modern precision, yet in the spirit of the original.

For DIY Enthusiasts: Sound with a Signature

True music lovers know: the journey to the perfect speaker is as individual as the listening experience itself. Harwood Acoustics offers a wide range of high-quality components for self-builders who want to shape their sound by hand.

LS3/5A Kit

Possibly the world’s most famous compact speaker – in a version that leaves nothing to be desired. With a 12 mm birch plywood cabinet, bitumen-damped walls, classic crossover, and authentic Harwood-Audax drivers, this speaker delivers midrange performance that feels almost magical. Harwood membranes reveal every detail – delicate, honest, and musical.

LS5/9 Kit

The larger BBC icon with more bass authority, impressive dynamics, and that famous natural tonal balance. Here, too, the components are of uncompromising quality, staying true to the original studio design.

Stand Up – A Modern Floorstander with Side Bass

Despite its slim appearance, this speaker easily fills larger rooms. It delivers powerful bass, balanced mids, and detailed highs via sensitive Harwood tweeters with AMT technology – offering vibrant and finely resolved brilliance.

Air Motion Transformer – Harwood’s Tweeter Masterclass

The AM 20 to AM 25 models are no ordinary tweeters – they are masterpieces of diaphragm folding. Harwood’s membranes process musical signals with exceptional precision – dynamic, airy, and always smooth in tone. Once you've heard a well-installed AMT, you'll know: this is not sound being produced – it is being liberated. With Harwood Acoustics, you don’t build speakers. You build sound.

For Music Lovers: Assembled Speakers with Soul

Not everyone wants to solder, measure, or build – and that’s perfectly fine. Harwood also offers select models as fully assembled speakers – ready to play, precisely tuned, and expertly finished.

LS3/5A Monitor

Compact, charming, and timeless – this monitor transforms even small rooms into concert stages. Vocals stand out vividly, instruments detach effortlessly from the cabinet – just as the BBC originally intended.

LS5/9 Monitor

More space, more headroom, yet just as refined – this speaker handles subtle nuances and dynamic passages alike. Every LS5/9 by Harwood is a statement for honest, musical sound – built to last for decades.

All models share the same foundation: authentic crossovers, Harwood-Audax drivers, finely tuned membranes, and acoustically optimized cabinet construction with audiophile precision.
