The Linkwitz Lab Orion
I've heard a couple different Orion installations, with very
different amps, in different rooms. They are not exactly my thing, but they certainly are a remarkable design. They do certain things extremely well. The "mainstream" (sic) high end audio industry (sic) likes to pretend they do not exist. They are far superior in terms of what they do presentationwise to many of the popular high end saloon speaker brands. Since they are not a saloon vendable product and Linkwitz does not buy full page ads in Stereopile this presents an issue for the high end press. I don't own an Orion installation, and I have no plans to do so in the near future. I personally prefer the articulation and delineation of a god horn setup, and although I readily acknowledge the superiority of electronic crossovers and multi-amping, I am content so far with the passive crossover network driven by a halfway decent tube amplifier. But the Orions and Linkwitz lab certainly have proven to be a good revelator of high end bull****. |
