Has anybody had experience with the Orions?


Surfing through the net, I found this site of Siegfried Linkwitz (Linkwitz Lab). Yes he is the same Linkwitz famous for the Linkwitz-Riley crossover formulas. I was wondering if anyone has listened, or better yet, owns these speakers, which are Sigfried's best design to date. They appear to embody fascinating concepts in acoustical science. To name a few, dipole radiation, excellent sub-bass response within an open box, and a very slender and elegant cabinet. According to some, they are the closest thing to live music available, regardless of price. I'd appreciate any comments or observations. Thank you.

I have heard the speakers in Mr Linkwitz's room and the speakers are excellent. I have owned many speakers in the $10k-$18k range and these (orions) are definately in the top echelon of this group and are priced much less. I believe I would own them if not for the fact that I couldn't then spend gobs of money on trying new electronics and cables. Darn hobby!

These are seriously good speakers and terrific value. I think you would need to spend multiples to get better overall sound ...and you could easily spend multiples and do a lot worse.

I agree very much with the above comment that relative to other/most speakers they do an excellent job of remaining true to the source.
