I bought these out of the blue to go with my IP15B's...
I paired two ip82's with two ip15b's and also ip12B's: I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I thought that this setup would be underpowered on the mid/highs, but this was not the case. Most sets are presented as a 2.1 ( 2 tops + 1sub ), but this combo was just fine: well balanced sound ( crossover set at 80hz ip15b / 100Hz ip12b - mid and highs at 0db - subs +2db) and enough power and clear sound for 100-150 persons - outdoor even more...Easy setup - Bluetooth set on the subs/paired with tablet-smartphone or any other BT capable device/connect master-slave and ready for a fast outdoor setup...
As stand-alone there's not much to say. Don't use these as main speakers, because then the sound is underpowered and a lack of bass is obvious: these are ment to be paired with a 12 or 15" sub.
Good looking, robust, easy to carry and handle, but I prefer the previous coating on a lot of Turbosound products: this looked cleaner. Now ( since 2018 I think ) the weakened coating has a 'hammered' pattern: see the differences on the ip2000 v1 and v2 ( hammered) ).
I put these 8" in the QSC K8.2 tote bag: it's a perfect fit.
I also bought the in house brand The Box CL108 as a comparative speaker and they really come close: Turbosound is a little more 'pristine' then 'the Box'. Outputwise (Spl ) almost identical.
Pricing on The box: Top / almost 1/2 price Turbosound
Pricing on Turbosound: also Top, but compared to The Box a little too expensive.
