Hey gang,
If you were going to build a pair of Orion 3.4 speakers and wanted to build four dedicated Pass amps for these speakers...
Which ones would you build?
Would they all be the same?
The linkwitz site indicates that each needs to be 40W/Channel. They provide the crossover boards.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

nope. if i'm not mistaken, the bass section is 4ohm? anyhow. go class A/B here. and class A for mid and high🙂
you can go F5t v3 as class A/B for the low end. and aleph J/JJ or even ACA for the top.
maybe even F5 all the way. depends on your taste.

I use two FirstWat J2, one is on the midranges and another is on the tweeters. On the bass I use AT 6012. With J2 Orions plays noticeably better, that is smoother in the midrange and without slightly unpleasant shine on high frequencies.
Assume that the Linkwitz EQ/Xover box doesn't have enough voltage swing for a F4... So it's probably best to suggest a Burning Amp with the complimentary outputs.
definitely a wintertime system...and they say music warms the soul...this should do it.BA-3 complimentary outputs. x4
Are you going to heat your house with the amp stack? 😀
The BA-3 gain stage is the push-pull N/P channel pair. The BA-2 gain stage is a differential pair. The -3 has no feedback. the -2 has some.
There is no right or wrong answer, it's merely favorite color and flavor. 🙂
Since you are building so many amps, you could always try both and see if one is more suitable to a particular position than the other.

yes...when think about building four amps I am a little bit intimidated to be honest about it. With the speakers and crossover, then four amps, this becomes a VERY long project.
Trying not to lose sight on why I am doing this. But I bet it would be a most capable system if I take the plunge.
