With the 2-way Harwood Acoustics LS5/9 we have reproduced another interesting BBC monitor from 1983, which became the standard in radio playback as a studio loudspeaker, as the LS3/5A had already achieved in 1976 for the mobile sector.This time, the BBC Report RD 1983/10 served as the basis for the implementation of the project.

Anyone who thinks that the LS5/9 is just a larger LS3/5A will be surprised by the enormous resolution and dynamics of the LS5/9, which has an efficiency of almost 90 db/W/m. Here you don't need powerful amplifier bolides, current-stable 2 x 50 Watt amplifiers, preferably in Class A/B circuitry, are enough, so you can achieve a full-fledged sound character that lacks nothing.

Nowhere else is the idea of the near-field monitor realized in its purest form as in this model, because the resolution is very close to the original in every respect, whether voices, solo instruments or especially in small jazz ensembles, which play with unbridled dynamics and almost in life characteristics. Experience recommends solid stands with an optimal height of 54 cm and a slight inward angle as the preferred position.

The sonic potential inspires the audiophile listener after a short time with magnificent timbres and structures. The voices detach very well from the speaker and are placed in authentic size on a realistic stage in the room. In some ways, this speaker can be addictive, addicted to more choice of voices of any genre, whether jazz, classical, or sing-songwriter. The enormous variety of timbres is an advantage of the legendary BBC LS5/9 monitor, which has earned its well-deserved place in the gallery of unforgettable – and also essential – classics.
