LD Systems ICOA 15 A

Really good

At this price you can’t find anything better. The bass is really good and it sounds clear. You cant go wrong with these

One of the best budget speakers.

So I bought one of these as a test, I thought it wouldn't be suitable for me and there's not much reviews.

I was surprised on first hearing this, the specs quote 300wrms but it happily performs as loud as my alto ts315, dont be fooled by this stat, this is a real 300wrms. The main feature is the bass output from this speaker, absolutely thumps as a full range driver. With two of these you wouldn't need a sub for a small venue. Indoors you get a bass heavy experience if your close to walls but outdoors it's a nice clean punchy sound.

The inbuilt dsp keeps the sound from distorting even when turned right up. And once setup the quality of sound is great. Once I heard one, I bought another and the are really good with my 18inch sub (alto ts18 sub) taking the load off the speakers for the mids and tops to really come out.

The adjustable eq makes it easy for you to get a good sound no matter the location.

Now the issues.

These are HEAVY speakers, weighing at +25kg they are something and a bit to move around and get on speaker stands but not unbearable.

The presets are not the best for a clean sound. I ended up making my own sticking with +10high +3mid and +6-10low for full range -2/0low with sub.

It lacks top end, the really high notes 15k+ it struggles with the single horn design. This isn't the worst thing in the world, still sounds cleaner and better quality than my more expensive alto speakers

With the adjustable eq I wanted more control, midbass can be a little heavy on a few tracks, and as I've said, the high end needs to be boosted a few more db.

Overall, what a speaker. Quality built. Great sound. 9/10 from me. I can't think of a better speaker I have heard in this price range. Hope this helps.
