Brian,
I enjoyed your Oris review, and I concur with your comments. I have been using the Oris horns for well over a year and they are easily the best speakers that I have ever owned in my over fifty years in this hobby. I have a picture and a less comprehensive review on Bert's web site.
I am using Lowther PM4A drivers in the horns. Could you comment on the differences in sound between the conventional Lowther cones and the AER cones. I upgraded drivers from PM2A to 4A less than six months ago and I do do not wish to take a big loss on these drivers trading up to the AER cones if I can avoid it.
I know what you mean bout the macropdynamic, or compression situation, I noticed this too. I reciently pulled my 25 watt, SV572 amps out of the closet to see how they would sound with the horns, and they sounded great. The dynamic compression was gone. I would have thought that my 300B amps would have been over kill, but I learn more all of the time.

One more on AER cones and PM4A drivers tvikeby 18:10:02 02/03/01 (0)
Hello,
I do also have the Oris system with PM4A drivers. It would be interesting to have some opinions from someone who have tried the AER cones on the PM4 drivers.
I have the Onken bass cabinets and use a Marchand XM-1 active crossover set at 160Hz. I am quite happy with that combination.
By the way, anyone familiar with this product: C37 lacquer for speaker cones and mutch more. I am a sceptic of nature for such products. Opinions anyone?
