The site looks a little fishy to me. They don't provide good specs, a phone number and email.Is it Just me?

Judging solely by the site, I'd steer clear. Just look at the graphs on this page. It looks like they can't even get their crossovers right if the response really leaves big gaps like that. (I realize the graphs are for illustration purposes only, but still...)

They don't give any detailed specs whatsoever. I'm willing to bet that the frequency responses would not be very flat.

I haven't got a clue, but...

...at first glance at the photo, and I don't know why I think this, but for some reason the "White Van" speakers come to mind.

Gotta be one helluva big van though

All kidding aside; if they were sold thru a high-end store, they may, of course, have been legit.

At any rate, never heard of 'em either.....wonder how many thousand different speaker manufacturers are existant on any given day??!!

Bet it's a bunch
Rich.

I don't see IKON anywhere on the white van scam list but that doesn't make them legit. Their website is a bit odd. And there does seem to be some big gaps in their freq. response. For $7000 each? I don't think so.

The factory address seems to be the same as that of Quest Audio, who made some nice inexpensive speakers sold through Futureshop :

Those IKON speakers sure are big, aren't they.

Hmm. Just poked around the Quest site. The speakers I knew and liked seem to have been discontinued.
