The "old identity" had been unfortunately become part and parcel of the
attitude a lot of frustrated dealers and customers had with regards to
Orion. We needed to put the past behind us and move forward, hence our
"decision" to move to a new logo and all-new products for 2003 - which
in fact was already being planned by the folks in Phoenix when we came
along.

I think I found an amp that I am happy with: The a/d/s/ 850.2



Nice choice.



Is there any truth to the rumer
that a/d/s/ isn't very good anymore.



It's a shame that when people don't know what to say,
they say something stupid.
Whoever told you this doesn't know what to say.

Most of what MZ replied is true:
The manufacturing of many of the products is the same or better,
and the company behind the product is a whole lot better (and solvent)

The Orion amps are all diff. this year.
In fact, many don't like the change from the trademark
Red HCCA
Blue Cobalt
Black XTR and Pro
to the new brushed aluminum look across the whole line.
The insides are still great, but for some reason they choose
to waste the old identidy these amps had.

The A/D/S/ and PPI amps are in fact the same products carried over for a 2nd
(or 3rd) year.

Rather than rush out and change everything in every line, Directed has been
addressing the product lines/categories one at a time.
