Siegfried Linkwitz's open-baffle Orions use an Excel Millenium tweeter and Excel W22EX001 as a midrange. Bass duties are handled by a pair of 10" Peerless XLS drivers (Q=.5, anechoic F6 of 20Hz, no room gain).

They're wonderful in all ways.
If you can accomodate the space (4' to the front wall is good), amplification(6 or 8 channels - running the woofers in parallel gives you a 2.5 Ohm minimum impedance), need for subwoofers in the last octave if used for home theater, and price ($6500 + $380 shipping assembled with ATI amplification, $5300 + $380 without, and $2000 DIY you provide your own amp) you should definately find a pair to audition.
