Well that makes me feel good about ordering the Orion, but kind of sad about my Def Techs which I like a lot.
I notice my wife and 2 daughters always complain that my BP7000SC sound too loud. Yet all three of them were at the Orion audition, and NONE of them even complained about the loudness once.
I guess the term to use on the Def Techs is that they are more "forward" or more "in-your-face"? I just always consider them "lively" and "energetic" and "youthful".
I'm sure the Orion are more accurate speakers, but I still think the BP7000SC are awesome speakers; I can't help liking the way they sound.
I thought the RBH T3/P were even more "in-your-face" than the BP7000, but I didn't mind the RBH; they sounded very lively.
