Falcon Loudspeakers The M10

For a compact vented monitor, reviewers found the bass remarkably full, tight and well controlled. The Ear described the 38Hz roll-off as extraordinary for the cabinet size and even prompted a joking search for a subwoofer, while StereoNET heard quick, boom-free bass with useful extension; the Part Time Audiophile review found the very lowest notes less fully resolved than larger rivals.

Midrange and overall tonal accuracy are standout strengths. Part Time Audiophile repeatedly praised the pure, spot-on tonality and its ability to serve acoustic and chamber music, while The Ear found the midband superbly balanced, with convincing body, weight and a close connection to performances.

The soft-dome treble is consistently described as smooth, crisp and free from harshness. StereoNET enjoyed cymbals for their subtle, propulsive character, although it found slightly less air and spaciousness than ribbon-tweeter rivals.

The M10 projects a notably expansive and natural soundstage for its compact proportions. Reviewers heard wide, open imagery with worthwhile depth, and The Ear called the stage immense for the cabinet size; Part Time Audiophile likewise praised its brilliant, natural spatial presentation.

Timing and rhythmic engagement are major positives, with The Ear finding the speaker lively, agile and able to follow tempo changes enthusiastically. Its limits arrive at elevated playback levels: both The Ear and StereoNET report compression and reduced visceral impact when driven hard, while Part Time Audiophile heard strain with demanding electronic bass.

The reviewed compact M10 is widely praised for its handsome Italian-made real-wood cabinet, restrained classic styling and well-finished hardware. StereoNET considered the cabinet quality exceptional for the price, while The Ear also noted the absence of audible cabinet coloration.

At the reviewed prices of $2,295 per pair and £2,395, the M10 was regarded as unusually compelling among premium compact monitors. Part Time Audiophile called the asking price audaciously low for speakers of this musical capability, and StereoNET highlighted cabinet quality that the designer believed competitors could not match at the price.
