I have heard these in a large living room. In the midrange and treble they are quite good, as one would expect given the quality of the drivers and the custom equalization. But where they shine, astonish really, is in the bass. It is preternaturally clear. Dipole design does it. (My own subwoofer uses the same driver, but with a passive radiator. It is "only" great.) The dipole configuration cancels out sound production toward the sides, ceiling, and floor. It's not for small rooms though.
dippywatcher: I just love guys like you, everything is wrong, you did everything much better long time ago and the best man from the industry is Omar Bose for you, are you joking? Bose is the worst example of bad designs sold with huge marketing. Did you listened to the Orion speakers and/or compared them to other ? Actually lot of VERY experienced audio reviewers were very excited about them even in direct comparsion with big names like BW Nautilus and Wilson Audio.
Awesome, thank you so much! There are two things I love - acoustics and suspension. The maths are incredibly alike - hence the Bose suspension.
Mr.Linkwitz has inspired me to do two things; become more Maths based and yet through the two philosphies (linkwitz vs. Bose) I kept the "artistic" part of design as well.

Hi Dippy, sounds like your system is better than SL's Orion. Please post a video of them in Youtube so we can see.

beautiful, but should have time aligned voice coils. Hell, I cant make a speaker that beautiful.

This is the grand master speaking. If you ever heard the Linkwitz Orion, you never look back. By many considered the best speaker - period.
