RE: sound lab majestic 945 and analysis orion

Posted by Makki on February 22, 2010 at 18:38:10:
I was recently told about this thread. Sir, thank you for considering the Analysis Audio Orions as part of your reference audio system. The Orions shown in the picture are my personal pair that I used at RMAF. I respond to this thread with some reservation because I don’t want any of my comments to be misconstrued as sales talk. I would like to clarify a few facts. The Orions shown at RMAF were not set up to their final specification. Due to time restraints, they were set up in a quasi 3-way arrangement. In their correct configuration, they are setup as a true 3-way system. Orions can be used with either 4 channels or 6 channels of amplification. There are several crossover options. Anyone who hasn’t auditioned them in New Jersey really has NOT heard them. The Orions are a true production item, not a custom system. Analysis offers full customer service and technical support on the Orions as it does with all of its product line. The Orions come with one field visit to help with the setup. The only Orion System available for audition is in New Jersey.
In the Orions, the second bass panel is added primarily to relieve the primary bass panel of the low bass. The primary bass panel is very capable of sub 20Hz as well. This configuration also allows the use of unique amplification for the low bass panel. The low bass panel can be placed alongside the primary panel or strategically placed behind it. Along with space conservation, there are other benefits in placing low bass panel behind the primary panel.
Analysis Audio speakers have an impedance curve which is very easy on amplifiers and, yes, they work well with 140 watt OTLs. It’s not only about efficiency. Anyone knowledgeable about Analysis speakers knows that Analysis speakers and other planar-magnetic speakers mentioned here are VERY different in design and execution.
