Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

These AudioSource round ceiling speakers are ideal for locations where traditional standing or satellite speakers simply don't fit physically or aesthetically. They install directly into the side of a wall or ceiling, using the wall and the space behind it to function as the speaker cabinet. As such, they require absolutely no floor space, and the frames and grilles are paint-ready, so you can match the speakers to any decor. Best of all, their unique design doesn't sacrifice sound quality for functionality, as they distribute clear, enriched audio for everything from home theater to multiroom applications.

Each 100-watt speaker has a frequency response of 28 Hz to 24 kHz with an 8-ohm impedance. The drivers consist of an 8-inch polypropylene cone woofer, a rubber surround, and a 1-inch center-mounted swivel tweeter. The speakers measure 10-1/4 inches in diameter with a 4-inch depth, and weigh 7 pounds apiece. The speakers come with a five-year warranty on parts and labor when accompanied by proof of purchase.

Note: To install the speakers correctly, you will need to cut two holes in the wall or ceiling. The installation is not difficult if performed correctly.

What's in the Box
Two IC8S round ceiling speakers and user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good speakers for the money, February 21, 2003
By Kim L (Medford, MA USA) - See all my reviews
We bought four pairs of these to put in the ceilings of our addition. We're using them for surround sound in the family room, and they work great ... for stereo in the breakfast room and bedroom, and no complaints. They handle anything we put through them w/no distortion & good sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Speakers and a Great Value, February 14, 2005
By J. Leo (Enola, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Reason for purchase:

I am in the process of finishing my basement and had purchased the IC8S speakers to use a surround speakers in my designated home theater area. The in-wall / in-ceiling mounting was an absolute must for me, since I wanted a "clean" look for the room; however, I didn't want to spend a fortune on Infinity, JBL, or similar since the prices for those start at $200/pair. I stumbled onto the Audio Source speakers on Amazon and decided to take chance on these speakers based on the good reviews. I was hesitant, though, because I didn't recognize the brand and the price seemed "too good to be true", so I didn't get my hopes up.

Background on the install:

The Audio Source speakers serve as surronds (right, left and back) in a setup that includes a Denon AVR 883 receiver, JBL Northridge series bookshelfs, JBL northridge center speaker and a JBL powered subwoofer. I used monster cable or similar quality speaker cable throughout the room.

Review:

These speakers are very good --- in fact I'd say they are outstanding given the price you pay for them. I can't imagine you'd find anything better for under $200/pair. They produce very clean, crisp highs and nice warm mid-range sound. The directional tweeter is a very nice feature that I did not expect to see on speakers of this price. Obviously you won't get much bass response out of these speakers, but you don't need that if you pair these with good full range front speakers and a good powered subwoofer. The sound I am able to get out of these speakers in conjucntion with the rest of the setup is tremendous. I am totally pleased with these speakers and would recommend them to anyone looking for great sound on a "budget". Obviously there are some "audiophiles" who will find shortcomings with these speakers, however, the average consumer, like myself, should be pleased with these speakers.

Other thoughts:

The packaging included with these speakers indicates that Audio Source is a division of Phoenix Gold. This made me feel a lot better about these speakers. I have had good experiences with Phoenix Gold audio components for mobile installs I have done in the past.

The IC8S speakers are quite large-- approx 10 - 11 inches in diameter. Take good measurements to make sure you have no obstructions in the area where you are mounting. Make sure you have room for these speakers before you buy.

I also bought a pair of the IC6S for background listening in a second room. These are also very good, but don't sound quite as "rich" as the IC8S. The IC6S are considerably smaller than the IC8S --- so I would consider these speakers if you have space constraints.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performace for the price.... Installed 6 pairs so far!, February 7, 2005
By D. Sell "d0cdave" (Fillmore, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased several pairs from another vendor and installed them in new houses as home theater 5.1 packages. They sound excellent with plenty of bass. Movie soundtracks sound excellent on these. I then purchased a pair for myself from Amazon since they seem to have the best item + shipping price out there. I installed these in my garage and WOW. I have the coolest garage around! I think I will install another pair later!

Make sure you tell Amazon to ship these double-boxed, otherwise they come shipped in their retail box which doesnt offer much protection. The edges were cracked on both speakers in the pair I purchased. =(
