While it is true that i have once in the past bought a barrel because it "looked cool" I'm not particularly interested in the "look" and certainly don't believe that the plating on the rings of a barrel will influence the sound (I suppose the weight/density and compression of the rings MIGHT, but just thinking about it gives me a headache).
What I can say is that these barrels (for whatever reason) did seem to have a different sound/feel/response compared to standard Buffet barrel and Moennig/Chadash barrels that I played immediately before or after. It was also noticeable that they seemed to uniformly exhibit a similar characteristic (wheras the other barrels were far less consistent in terms of timbre and response). So much time has elapsed since then that I will not attempt to describe the timbre, but i recall being annoyed that 1) i could not test the intonation and 2) the sample set of Icon barrels were not for sale.
I currently play a wooden barrel (nickel plated rings) with a rubber sleeve bored by Les Nicholson on my B flat clarinet, and am very happy with that. At the time i tried the Icon barrels i was looking for an A clarinet barrel and was very lucky to find an excellent Chadash barrel that i like very much.
