typically Orions had no thermal protection internally, so if speaker wires touched while the amp was powered, the amp would blow out the finals, and you'd end up replacing most of the output FETs. I used to service and sell Orion products in the early 90s (when the 225 HCCA was sold in it's 1st through 3rd generation incarnations) and saw a lot of blown ones just like this with the same problem. I even had a wire come loose from a spring compression terminal on a sub box once and kill my own personal 280GX this way. Check those output FETs to see if they're shot. I'm betting they are. They'll be the ones attached to the long metal rails (bars) along the side of the amp, connected to the heatsink fins of the casing.

Hey Perry, glad to see you here, too. I just started peeking in.
