@mickeyb You don’t need 3 amps. What amp were you listening to with the Orion’s you heard? What you do need is at least 3 channels per side for a total of 6 minimum. You could use the amp that Linkwitz recommends on his website which is the ATI AT6012 which has 12 60 watt channels. Use a couple of extra channels in bridge mode for the woofers if you wish. I bought Orion’s, built the Lxmini, Lx subs, and the Lx 521.4. I love them all. I use a mix of analog and minidsp boxes for eq/xover. Buy or build any one if you like fussing around with gear. They are not plug and play but for my ears the time invested to get them set up right has been well-rewarded.
What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?
While watching vids on YouTube, I came across this pipe speaker design from a Dr. Linkwitz (see below). The sound of this speaker is said to be impressive. I was wondering if you know about this, how it works and what you think of this speaker design. Also, what do you think would be the best room placement for such a speaker, and would you be tempted to build them?
