Why “Made For Valves”?
Icon Audio are virtually unique in making loudspeakers especially for valve amplifiers.
If you have a valve amplifier there are a number of reasons why you should consider our “MFVs”.
Putting it simply valve amplifiers have a different “sonic signature” to solid state amplifiers and many modern loudspeakers cannot get the best out of valve amplifiers
The MFV 2 and MFV 6
Both these designs will perform well if there are constraints on size or budget. Due to their simple crossovers carefully matched drive units. good efficiency and ease of driving is maintained for low powered amplifiers.
The MFV 2 features a similar bass/mid driver to the MFV3 super, using a large voice coil with pure copper wire. By nature of its smaller design and stand mounting will have very tight bass and very low colouration. Designed for stand mounting with 15 to 150 Watts (depending upon room size and required sound level), it is capable of filling a large room with stunningly transparent music without being fatiguing.
The MFV6 is very similar but having smaller dimensions is ideal for a smaller room. Despite its modest size the characteristics are excellent offering great purity. Designed for shelf or stand mount.
