Or sell the Orion's to me for $3000
Own the Linkwitz Orion for less than the price of the Phil3. That's a good bargain.
No, I'm at a point where I'm getting lazier and lazier every day about selling them and soon I will probably just remove the sale listing. I think I will just let the Craigslist listing expire and as soon as the eBay listing expires, that is it too.
Anyway, I'm ready to say that I think the RBH SX-T2/R sounds better than the Linkwitz Orion.
And that I haven't heard any other speaker that sounds better than the SX-T2/R.
Now the interesting comparison would be between the SX-T2/R ($12K MSRP) vs. the SX-T2 ($8K MSRP).
I haven't heard the T2 in a few years, but even back then, I was willing to say that the $8K T2 sounded better than any speaker I've ever heard.
But possibly the best bang for the buck overall is the $5K MSRP SX-8300. Street price brings it down to about $3500/pair. The $5900 MSRP SX-8300/R (street price probably $4100) may be viewed as superior for only about $600 more in street price.
I have not done a head-to-head comparison between the SX-T2/R vs SX-8300/R. But my instinct tells me there may be some diminishing returns, as with all speakers great and small.
