ichos No. THREE Mk.II

The Ichos N° THREE MK.II is truly a further development in every sense of the word. A newly-developed 10" broadband 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.

Sport cars aficionados an connoisseurs are very paraphernalia. Our beloved high-and apparatus shouldn't be any further from entertainment and these Austrian Lamborgini orange speakers were designed from the very beginning to deliver a heftier portion of gratification..."

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.
