Yes little info. Reading between the lines the filter is likely BSC.
But there is lots of stuff that makes little sense. Every passive filter has a loss, and more. I would want ot listen to them 1st before even considering them.

From their website:
Yeah, so, it's an 8" driver and it starts beaming quite low. Ha ha.
Gotta love marketing.... "a little more directional..."

Sounds like they've made quite an accurate statement. Which is better than the outright lies some companies crank out on a daily basis.
True also.
I was surprised to see a paragraph on the speaker's "shortcomings" on a web page advertising their product. Not many will include anything close to that.

I know the guys at Icon slightly; we were in nearby demo rooms at the last two North West Audio Shows. They're much better than some in the industry.
I liked their room as it happens. Didn't get chance to listen to it, but I just liked walking in, since one wall was more or less filled with racks on which they were displaying most of their many valve amps & other hardware. Since aesthetically speaking I'm a sucker for amplifiers with big vintage analogue meters, suited me. 😉

Hmmmm... Claims of rare earth magnets, and ferrite in the pictures.
I'd have to dispute the "Deeper bass than any other design for the size", though, as they haven't escaped Hoffman's Iron Law. I've got some drivers here that'll delve deeper in a smaller box, but efficiency will likely be sub-80dB@1w.
Apart from that, they look okay if you're into full-range drivers. I've come to the conclusion that they're not for me.

Yes, there are a few somewhat questionable pieces on there, such as the 'rare earth' phrase, which from appearance is simply incorrect, and the 'deeper bass' part which -well, maybe it does, although I doubt it.
That said, I've seen worse errors from manufacturers. The wire brigade come to mind. 😉
