Angeboten wird „LS3/5a“ von falcon acoustics als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 756764487 endet am 23.07.2026 um 06:24 Uhr.
Starting from what it would have cost new, €1,800 looks like a solid buy on this market: it sits below the €1,872 25th percentile and comfortably under the €1,944 median, so this is a clear bargain rather than just a fair ask.
That makes it especially appealing for a well-regarded small monitor with a long reputation for coherence, imaging, and a very “right” midrange; the kind of speaker people buy for music first, not spec-sheet fireworks. In good condition, the upside is a straightforward, low-drama purchase if the cabinets, drivers, and any matching pair details are clean; at this price, I’d mainly confirm originality, cosmetic honesty, and that both speakers are electrically quiet.
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.
