Anybody heard of Falcon Acoustics?


This British company makes a speaker line with lots of similarities to the IMF speakers of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.  I used to have a pair of IMF Monitors which I thought were great speakers.  I regret selling them.  Falcon makes a speaker called the IMF 200, which has many similarities to the old IMF speakers.

Have any members of the Audiogon community heard these speakers from Falcon Acoustics?  What are your thoughts on them?

     I bought the guts for a pair of LS3/5As and 2 KEF B139s from Falcon, back in 1981.

     Built them (with some cabinet mods) as an actively bi-amped, mains/sub system, per the March 1980, Speaker Builder Magazine article, written by Siegfried Linkwitz.

     They were an outstanding company, back then.

     

Irving M. Fried (IMF), an American by the way, will certainly live forever through his brilliant designs for transmission line speakers that are still in production (somewhere) after almost 70 years. The new IMF 200 looks like it still uses Falcon's version of the original KEF elliptical driver. I'd describe the sound but... it was way too long ago!

But I liked them a lot, I remember that. Good luck!

That is weird because a year or so ago they had a pair in their showroom.   Maybe a consignment?
