Linkwitz Orion Open Baffle Loudspeaker System Forsale!!!!
I am selling my 90% completed Orion Loudspeaker Kit on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5756141703 From the website: The ORION is my proudest design accomplishment. It is a loudspeaker that deserves to be in a music lover's home. "True to the original" has been my guiding principle and this speaker lets you experience music as it has been captured in the making. I have achieved my dream of building a speaker that excels sonically, yet does so without being large in size. The ORION is a speaker with seamless integration over the whole frequency range, a speaker that sets up a wide, deep and tall sound stage, yet with realistic localization of instruments and voices, with clarity and warmth, with speed and impact. For well recorded material, the speakers disappear and what remains is a panorama of sound and a deeply satisfying experience of music. As rewarding as the ORION is for critical listening from the "sweet spot" - inherent to 2-channel playback - it is equally enjoyable for casual listening from any place in the house. This is the result of its wide and uniform dispersion of sound and its nearly flat power response. The ORION is an open baffle speaker or dipole radiator and so it radiates sound to front and back, but not to sides and top. Yet placement of the ORION is not critical as long as it has breathing room around it, such as a distance of at least four feet from the wall behind it and two feet from the walls on its side. The listening space should have normally live acoustics. No special acoustic treatment is required, just the normal "stuff of life" with which you surround yourself. The ORION was designed to fit that type of environment, while conventional box speakers and panel type dipole radiators often need unsightly sound absorbers and diffusers to optimize their response at the sweet spot. And there is an aspect to the ORION that might be of particular benefit to apartment or condominium dwellers who are concerned about disturbing their neighbors by transmitting large amounts of low frequency sound and vibration through the walls. Thanks again to the dipole radiation characteristic, if you listen from the sweet spot at your customary volume level, then compared to a box speaker at the same volume level, your neighbor will receive 5 dB less and hear the bass only half as loud, if at all. However, since the ORION is capable of playing cleanly at life-like levels, you might find yourself increasing your playback level to enjoy the increased impact, articulation and timbre fidelity that come with it. In that case invite your neighbor over to share your pleasure. |
