Graham Audio LS8/1 Standmount Speakers Inc. Stands – Oak

Here we have a modern variant of a classic loudspeaker in the form of a pair of Graham Audio’s LS8/1. They are in very good condition and come with a pair of matching ‘something solid’ stands. All items are supplied in original factory packaging along with grilles, spikes and our standard three month warranty.
Graham Audio Say….
The LS8/1 is Graham Audio’s take on the classic 8 inch bass driver in a 2 cubic foot box format, as used by many designers over the years, including our own Derek Hughes (and his father Spencer, who of course designed the BBC LS3/6).
The Graham Audio LS8/1 draws on decades of experience and modern techniques. High temperature motor design and materials permit much greater power handling than ever, while building on the midrange openness and resolution of the original LS3/6.
Sophisticated soft-dome units are used for the tweeter and super-tweeter, both with protective metal grilles, the HF level can easily be adjusted from the front panel to help match the loudspeakers to the acoustic environment they are being used in, the grille is held in place with concealed magnets. As with the original LS3/6, the front and rear panels are attached to the cabinet with screws rather than glued joints, helping to reduce colouration by decoupling the panels, and easing future maintenance, should that become necessary. High quality birch ply is used beneath the premium hand-matched veneers.
