We're very glad to introduce a new speaker line to the USA. Ichos loudspeaker is a fairly new loudspeaker manufacture from Vienna, Austria. Ichos' speaker designs combine several different and very interesting features such as wideband drivers, back-loaded horns, dipole tweeter, high sensitivity, time coherency adjustment and more. Ichos lineup currently consists of 4 speaker models, from the entry model No. FOUR to the top model No. ONE.

The first review for the No.THREE is online...
Michael Bruss of HiFi Test wrote (Jan. 2018):
"...rarely does one hear a loudspeaker that combines a nonchalant lightness and ease so naturally with such a substantial bass and can still work with single-ended tube amplifiers without problems – actually, the ichos No 3 even prefers them...
Conclusion: Loudspeakers with a pleasure factor - a true feast for listeners who love attention to detail and spaciousness with a bass that isn’t too thin. They play easily with small triodes and even then offer a substantial sound..."

The Ichos N° THREE MK.II is truly a further development in every sense of the word. A newly-developed 10" wideband driver has been combined with the dipole tweeter from the larger models. With this concept, the N° THREE Mk.II reaches a level of dynamics and deep bass that, up until now, were only found in large loudspeakers, and it does that without losing any of the fine details.

Unlimited freedom and music listening pleasure are always first, along with the elegant aesthetics – regardless of what type of music is played. The N° THREE Mk.II is easy-to-please in the positioning and is well-suited for both small and large listening rooms, from classic to rock music, no matter whether soft or loud – all without any limitations.

DEALER INQUIRIES ARE WELCOME

ICHOS loudspeaker is a manufacturer located in the city of music - Vienna, Austria. Designer and owner is Robert Rothleitner. All construction elements are produced with closest tolerances according to the designers specifications. The entire range of loudspeakers is a genuine Austrian hand-made, labor-intensive product.

The centerpiece of ICHOS' sound converters are wideband drivers supported by hand-made cabinets with customized back-loaded, downward-facing horns and augmented by custom-made tweeters. As a result ICHOS loudspeakers produce a vibrant, natural acoustic pattern with an accurate, tight bass and a high sensitivity - from 92dB of the entry model to 100dB of the top model. Due to this rather elaborate construction and a very strong reinforcement inside the cabinet, feedback and vibrations are prevented.

ICHOS loudspeakers have special properties and characteristics due to a labor-intensive treatment of their membranes with mineral-based material, several oils and a special varnish. This particular treatment takes up to eight weeks. Before being fitted into the high-grade, handcrafted cases, every sound converter is properly burned-in for many hours. Together with the tweeter, ICHOS speakers achieve a crystal clear and subtly nuanced sound reproduction with a large dynamic scale and heavily boosted sound pressure level.

Simply said, ICHOS loudspeakers are a work of art due to multiple processes of painstaking handiwork and attention to detail. Fine tuning is done with the aid of exceptionally gifted musicians during many listening sessions. Speaker customizations are not only possible, but are welcomed.
