Paul,

I would agree with that 100%. Some like to theorize without having actually been there or ever listened to the product.

Best,

Ian

There is some confusion here. When we played the ic6 CEILING SPEAKERS alone, the bass extension spec is the 60Hz range. They sound remarkable full and powerful in that category. It’s a $600 6” ceiling speaker.

When we played them as Pendants we paired them with our iws12-9 compact subwoofer with extension to 24Hz and we rocked the house. Literally.

I would encourage your readers to go hear a Theory system before judging without any personal experience.

It’s all good. Appreciate your response and that you read us.

I do agree that Chris is a fantastic writer. Almost as witty as his editor. 😉

Chris,

No disrespect intended. Please see my comments to Ian above.

Ian,

Thank you. I really hope to be able to listen to the Theory Audio system in person someday. My traveling days are curtailed these days, unfortunately.

I did not mean to diminish Chris’s opinion in any way, shape, or form. His is a *qualified* opinion and I respect it and admire his writing.

After 60 years of playing, listening, and recording music, I am still fascinated by our efforts to reproduce “His Master’s Voice”.

Happy listening!

Ian – Stop. Don’t feed the trolls.

Repete,

Having listened to the Theory Audio system at home for 3 months using their active subwoofers, it’s everything Chris mentioned and more. Judging bass response at a trade show is not exactly easy considering the acoustic issues inherent with that kind of set-up.

I’ve known Chris for 25 years and take his assessment of equipment and systems as more than just an “opinion.” He knows a lot more than most and is far more critical of PR BS than 90% of the consumer A/V press.

After 25 years of this, I would buy the Theory Audio system over almost everything. Regardless of price.

Best,
Ian White
