@dxbwineguy @tubeguy76 Agreed, given the fact that IO being five times pricier than Klipsch 8000F II. Based on what I had auditioned in the past (in show), I was impressed and definitely would think the IO is a much better performer sonically.
However, per 6 Moons, the IO is measured down below 30 hz in a relatively big room (see below), with a significant dip in 35-50 hz range. That dip will more than likely cause less weightier response in bass region in the actual listening space. Weird behavior.
