The ICTS-8.2 offers superb sound without compromising your system's visual aesthetics. All you need to do is make sure the tweeter is aimed at the listening area. When used a rear-channel surround speaker, the ICTS-8.2's tweeter is best pivoted away from the listening area toward the rear or side walls. This helps the speaker deliver a more diffuse upper midrange and high-frequency sound, thus creating a convincing 3-D soundstage that draws you into the action. Finally, the speaker excels as a left or right speaker in a two-channel distributed audio system--an ideal choice for small spaces like a den or guest room in which boxed speakers are impractical.
