WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY?

If you are interested in the independent opinions of industry experts,
read what they say about the Ionic Sound System and Spirula Speakers.

“The Deeptime speakers called Spirula and Thunderstone should be displayed in a museum of art. But Deeptime prefers to classify the speakers as compact high-end lifestyle speakers for design music lovers. The Deeptime flagship speakers have an incredible, balanced sound. They turned out to be very useful reference productions. The details in the top end are great and the low end sounds cool. So if you’re looking for a great designed sound system the IONIC should be on your shopping list. Absolute buy recommendation.”
— Johannes Reinthaler, DJ at Modul Kollektiv

“The Deeptime Ionic Sound System rewards careful positioning and adjustment of the subwoofer with a musical experience that goes beyond the mere lifestyle appeal of the speaker trio. The sound system creates a nice space and a dense atmosphere. It is not a classic hi-fi instrument for a listening room, but a musical companion in the decoratively furnished everyday life. A stylish music lover gets an extraordinary symbiosis of expressive design object for the eye and relaxed sound for the ear.”
— Falk Visarius, Publisher at HiFi-IFAs Blog

“Ionic Sound System surprised us, and we enjoyed listening. We predicted a little sound. We got a lot of space and confidence with which the music filled the entire room. We were expecting a lot of universal companions to play quietly in the background. Still, we got a system that fits slightly less aggressive music but which draws attention almost as much as its exceptional design and precise artistry do.”
— Petr Machacek, Publisher at Audioreporter

“On concept and execution, the Ionic Sound system should be in the modern museum of art for industrial design excellence.”
“It'd be an understandable but unfortunate knee-jerk reaction to look at the Ionic System and peg it 'lifestyle' in the sense that it's all industrial design without any sonic substance. Dead wrong. It's that plus the audiophile goods.”
“That it's the design-conscious lifestyle shoppers who are the first beneficiaries with the Ionic System is a lovely quite deep irony. Typical audiophiles who disbelieve that good looks, smart engineering and proper sound can all coexist and come from such a compact rig will be left out. So time out.”

“The Deeptime Ionic system made a great impression on me, it is beautiful and its sound is pleasant, especially in proportion to size. Some may have a bit of an issue with the price, but if you realise that you are not buying a “just” 2.1 stereo system but also the aesthetic aspect of the matter. You get really unusually impressive artistic sculptures, which in reality look much more sculptural than on the photographs.”
“These printed speakers are authentically unique. Unexceptional sound, noble shapes and hi-tech material, state-of-the-art electronics and such a vast wealth of magical mathematical-historical references.”
— David Nyvlt, Publisher at StereoVideo.cz

"As the first product of the company, it is an uncovered lifestyle-oriented product, and it truly sounds surprisingly well. Very pleasing, rich, energetic and clean enough, but still round, non-conflicting and fun. You can feel both the bass and clear heights."
"Ionic is truly tuned, versatile, user-friendly. Some additional input or a separate streaming device could be useful on certain occasions. Still, its original design and unique piece of innovative technology, therefore the price tag is not overshot. Considering the limited edition, you get the feeling you have a truly luxurious lifestyle at home that will decorate your interior and let you enjoy the music every day. I wish every design system for 'ordinary people' would play and work like this."
— Daniel Brezina, Director at Hi-Fi Voice

“The design world moves fast. One day plain and simple 3D printing is big news, next it’s 3D printing using sand. Czech studio Deeptime recently unveiled speakers shaped like snail shells and sea urchin skeletons, all made from nature’s favorite beach-building material. The sand makes the speakers heavy and solid for their size, allowing them to offer big, premium-quality sound. Unsurprisingly, the limited-edition speakers have a sandstone-like surface.”
