Orion's are making music !!!!!

sl_1800 · 20th December 2004, 08:35 AM

I have building the Linkwitz Orion speakers this week and they are finaly making music. They aren't completely finished yet as I still have some wood finishing to do but I just had to give them a listen.

For those of you wondering if they are as good as some people say.................I will be in the camp that says yes they are very good.

Can you post some pictures of your project?

I'm interested in building a pair, and in the process of getting ideas to build either the Phoenix or the Orion or Arvo.

What crossover are you using, the Linkwitz' or another type such as the Behringer's UltraDrive?

Any other advice on building the Orion would be appreciated...

Thanks

I am using the Linkwitz crossover, it's a very good unit. Keep in mind that I got my Orion's to the point of making music and then stopped working on them due to a shoulder surgery. I am now about ready to take them back apart and apply the wood finish. I think I'm going with just clear on the front dress panels and dark walnut stain on the sides which are made of oak plywood. Here are a few pics.
