IMF ALS 40 Floorstanding Loudspeakers A very beautiful pair of the highly sought after IMF ALS 40. Extremely well looked after, with the full upgraded crossover kit from Falcon Acoustics. This model has the super rare Peerless Tweeter and Peerless midwoofer which sounds magical. Grills are in perfect condition. Would love to keep these but unfortunately they are just too large to be on my entertainment unit. Demonstrations welcomed.

Falcon Acoustics IMF speakers are cult-favourite vintage monitors, but A$2,100 for a very-good pair feels fair-to-strong rather than cheap. I can’t place this model confidently enough to quote a tight market percentile, but for respected IMF/Falcon restorations this is in the zone where condition and originality matter more than chasing a discount.
What makes them worth a look is the classic IMF balance: big, coherent scale, deep bass for the cabinet size, and a very listenable midrange that suits long sessions. If the drivers are original, the crossovers have been refreshed, and the cabinets are tidy, that’s meaningful upside. I’d mainly want confirmation of driver health, grille condition, and any service history; with vintage Falcons, those details can make A$2,100 either a sensible buy or a project price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Falcon Acoustics traces its roots to 1972, when Malcolm Jones, KEF Electronics' first employee from 1961 and its original Chief Design Engineer, founded the company in England as Falcon Electronics. Starting as a modest family venture with his wife Valerie, it began on a kitchen table in Bexhill, Sussex, before relocating to Mulbarton in 1976 and later to Acle in 2003. Jones's deep expertise from KEF shaped Falcon into a key supplier of audio components, including pioneering self-bonded ferrite-cored inductors that fueled numerous hi-fi magazine speaker designs in the 1970s.
The brand focuses primarily on high-performance loudspeakers, with renowned models like the award-winning BBC LS3/5A Gold Badge, the only production version fully meeting the original 1976 BBC specification. Its lineup extends to the R.A.M. series and HP.80, all handcrafted in Oxford, alongside a historical emphasis on supplying drivers, crossovers, and components to manufacturers and enthusiasts across the UK and Europe.
Falcon holds a revered niche as a boutique high-end marque, celebrated for authentic recreations of classic monitor speakers and meticulous engineering. Positioned among Europe's preeminent audio brands, it appeals to discerning collectors and hi-fi purists seeking unparalleled fidelity and heritage-driven excellence.
