  • @Pabcio But then you could use your own wires! HEAVEN FORBID!

  • @L00peey hahha, lol exactly

  • RJ 45 plug? Who the fuck got this retarded idea?! It would be better with Speakon or XLR plug if it must be easy to connect.

  • rg plug,do you know what is diameter of single wire?and resistance coming with it??good speaker cable has fev sq mm.

  • come on,i would not get it even for free,what sound makes really nice is quality amp ,crisp sounding tweeters,deep solid bass speaker( at least 8 inch) and power 2x 100W,so whan you turn dial to half you can hear all bits,when small speakers and small amp to use same volume you turn dial to end and hear distortions reaching about 1% or more.do you want it in kichen when cooking ...ok,but for living room you need POWER.

  • @gghak i know.. he wasnt rocking at all. he was sitting there then just stared at the camera

  • ,,sounds and look,s like that damn barnie frank selling us

  • what a cheesy intro lol

  • I have not heard the S1 speakers, but I have owned the Icon for a year and a half (when they first came out) and the speaker output sounds quite good. I use it to drive a Stax SRD-7 Pro transformer and Stax SR-007 headphones, and it sounds like a $1000 electrostatic headphone amp. The internal DAC is decent, but their new Nuforce uDAC eclipses it and makes a good pairing. Cheers, HeadphoneAddict.

  • I've got a set of NuForce S-1's that I used to use with my Icon, but I swapped them out for more capable single-driver mini-monitors that I designed and built. There are advantages to the single-driver approach, but the S-1s have virtually no bass output - nothing below 120 Hz. A subwoofer with the Icon-1 and S-1 speakers is mandatory. Thankfully, NuForce came out with the W-1 to fill that need, but I'm more of a fan of my Velodyne Impact Mini in that application.
