Rogers LS5/9 BBC Bookshelf Speakers

The Rogers LS5/9 BBC bookshelf speakers were initially conceived as a compact, high power, grade one monitor loudspeaker for professional broadcasting and high end residential systems. Meticulously manufactured in the UK to traditional BBC standards, the latest edition delivers the trademark qualities of the original with higher power capacity.

Sometimes what you cannot see, is just as important as what you can

The new (2020) Rogers monitor includes the latest version of the legendary Audax 34mm HD34 Tweeter for uncompromising vocal prowess. It has been adapted by Rogers with the addition of a dispersion loading protective plate. The sublime midrange and taut bass are handled by a Rogers specified 210 mm woofer. The critically flared polypropylene mid/bass cone is terminated by an inverted half roll of select vinyl that is hand finished and pair matched in the UK.
