Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a Loudspeakers

The MoFi Edition is a limited-run collaboration that features an exclusive Black Ash cabinet finish while maintaining the exact technical specifications of the original 1976 BBC design. It utilizes Falcon’s proprietary, hand-built drivers and computer-matched components to ensure the performance remains true to the legendary monitor's heritage.

The LS3/5a is a near-field monitor designed for smaller to medium-sized listening environments. While they offer exceptional clarity and imaging, they are not intended to fill large rooms with high-volume sound; they perform best when placed closer to the listener.

Because these speakers have a lower sensitivity of 83dB and a 15-ohm nominal impedance, they require a high-quality amplifier with sufficient current to perform at their best. A stable, well-regarded integrated amplifier or power amp will help you achieve the intended dynamic range and tonal balance.

Yes, using high-quality, rigid speaker stands is essential for these monitors. Positioning the tweeters at ear level and ensuring the speakers are decoupled from the floor or furniture will significantly improve the soundstage and midrange transparency.

The infinite baffle, or sealed box, design provides a tighter, more controlled bass response compared to ported speakers. This results in a natural, articulate sound profile that is highly prized by audiophiles for its accuracy and lack of artificial resonance.

They are modern, hand-built reproductions of the original B110 bass/midrange driver and T27 tweeter. Falcon Acoustics manufactures these in-house to the exact original specifications, ensuring they meet the strict performance standards required for the LS3/5a designation.
