After chatting to Jerry Bloomfield at the Munich High End Show I am about to start importing the UK made Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a monitor speaker.

Falcon Acoustics have the BBC license to produce the famous LS3/5a speaker and some forums and reviews say they have produced the best version since the original came out in the '70's!

I expect them to perform well as a main system speaker or as a speaker in a very high quality second system. I am not sure yet about their ability to fill a big room but their musicality seems beyond question.

Price in NZ will be $4995. Premium veneer finishes a little more.

They also seem to prefer high speaker stands so I will be offering "higher than normal" Soul to Sole Edge Speaker Stands at discounted prices. Probably about $250 for a pair that normally costs $500.

They work superbly with Sugden amps. Jerry uses A21a, A21SE and Sapphire models at home and factory.

From a besotted owner:

"These speakers are the pinnacle of hifi. They are precisely the essence of why I am in love with sound reproduction. The BBC engineers understood everything. The finesse and truth of their reproduction is beyond words........ The Falcon LS3/5a 15 ohms puts absolutely nothing between my ears and the performers. They let me connect to the music like no other speaker I owned. They do not do anything. They surely miss deep bass and very high treble. But the magic is precisely here : you cannot think for one second that you're missing something when you listen to them. And while being extremely transparent and detailed, like a pro instrument made for mastering, they are very easy to drive and very tolerant with the associated gear."
