Our new music room is a few weeks away from being ready but I couldn’t resist plonking the system down for a quick listen.
I can’t imagine there’s many people using LS3/5A with class D amplification and I did approach the pairing with some trepidation but I have to say that even in this undressed room it sounds startlingly good.
I haven’t ever had the pleasure of the Falcons before but I knew I’d need a smaller speaker for this room, so when a pair popped up at a good price it seemed a good opportunity to audition. I expected the super transparent mids, sure, but they’re far punchier and lively than I thought they would be and they are surprisingly good with techno. The imaging is a hairs on the back of the neck up job … sound appears from well past either side of the speakers, and the reproduction of micro details is incredible.
All in all I’m very impressed. I have a pair of Tab 10s to compare with, but they’re going to have to be very very good to get a look in.
Oh, and the sponge is there for some critical sound absorption, expertly placed by my toddler boy.
