The Millenium tweeters go for appr. $190 each at Madisound. Not that it matters, but these drivers are Top of the line, and you don't see them in many speakers on the market. Also the Midrange driver are Top of The Line. When it comes the XLS subwoofers, I've had them before (closed box, passive radiator etc.) and nothing comes close to this combination.... As with every good stew, you have to take a lot of things into consideration, not just price. I'm fully confident that Mr. Linkwitz has put a substancial amount of hours in designing the Orions, and chosen the parts he believs be the correct ones. On his website you can see that he has compared the Seas tweeter with a Accuton tweeter (highly regarded tweeter among "Audiophiles"), and the Accuton had more distorsion than the Seas.... It's all in the recipe... :-) opaqueice: I too have ordered a ATI 6012, mainly because of 5.1. I have listened to the Orions with more power (Rotel RMB1077, 7x130W ICE technology), with no issues. But, I do not believe you'll use more than a maximum of 20W per channel, as the efficiency is really good. -- Mattiasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mattiasa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38593 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
