Kerr - I have a chance to hear the Orion speakers this weekend. Unfortunately, it won't be in my own system. Still, it's a system I'm pretty familiar with so I'm looking forward to it.The one variable you can eliminate is the recording. Bring along those CD's that you are intimately familiar with.
Kerr - I seem to recall you bought those after listening to planars for awhile? Or was it 'stats?
That is a gross understatement. I owned good ol' monopoles, went to planars then stats. Loved em but there was always that something missing. The dynamic power of real, live instruments (sucks having a brother in law that is a pretty good drummer). Horns at the time were (and still are, outside of Geddes, Danley and a very few others)much to colored though they had the real life dynamics in spades. Had that dreadful boxiness that was not there in planars/stats.
Went bipole. Close but still not there. Went back to DIY as I had when attending college (EE). Made my own fully active asymmetric bipoles with variable rear radiation via remote. Stumbled across the Orions (friend of a friend with some wacky new speakers).
Laughed that the solution had been in front of my face all along, but I could not see it. The planar/stat boxless openess and see through clarity with power and dynamics from the low distortion piston sources. Controlled directivity like a horn to reduce room masking. The price of course is it must have room to breathe - away from the front wall. Nothing that should stand in the way of a true music lover.
BTW, I want to be clear, being now a die-hard DIYer, my first thought after realizing I must have one - was how to modify it to my specific requirements. Hence the waveguide/ring radiator instead of the Seas Millenium (itself a stellar performer), etc., so mine is not a true Orion.
No matter. Hear it for yourself and decide if it is for you.cheers,
AJ
