From Graham

Two changes separate the LS5/8S from the LS5/8. A diffraction slot now sits in front of the bass driver, which the BBC's research design had and the production version dropped; it smooths the off-axis response, and the gain shows up most in a live domestic room. A Seas 34mm tweeter replaces the Audax.
