I just stumbled across this thread though looks to be 6 months old.
I have both the Oris-150 and Orphean horns from Bert. I have been using both for a little over a year now and absolutely love them. I have the horns paired with Bert's reference compact base enclosures. The Oris and Orphean are significantly different in their presentations. The Oris w/Voxativ AC-2.6 drivers is very smooth, very revealing but a bit polite on the top end... but significantly better than the multiple lowther drivers I auditioned and very similar to the AER BD-1. On the other hand the Orphean using the dual concentric compression driver is super dynamic, and nicely balances from 250Hz to 28kHz. Note also my 15" base units are on an xover driven by Crown class-D power thus very dynamic as well and a good match for the horns. I run the horns from Coincident 300B monoblocks wo/ xover.
Follow Ups:
I have found that horn mids and highs work best with fully horn loaded systems. I use Bill Fitzmaurice designed HT Tuba folded bass horns along with Oris 150/AER BD3 for wide range and Fostex t900a super tweeters. In my opinion horn mids and high mix with sealed or ported drivers like coffee and spoiled milk. The HT Tuba folded bass horns are 18 cubic Ft. each which limits their appeal to some folks, but with DEQX DSP they are stunning.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
Just got the word from Jack Elliano that Dr. Bruce Edgar has passed away. One of the true giants in horn speaker design. Ri.I.P. Bruce !!
