[AcuDefTechGuy]

Inflation, anyone?

Wow, so the regular complete price (Speakers + ASP XO) went from ~ $8K to ~ 15K from v3 --> v4?

Regular Price $14,750 + Shipping
Introductory Price $13,750 + Shipping

Can't say I could be willing to spend that kind money on those.

I did make a move to upgrade my Sig S4s in the bedroom though.

Nice. What are you going to do with the paradigms?

They will be up going up for sale the front 3 together.
CC is a C3 - all are in the extremely rare Rosewood veneer.

I have a Salk CC on order so ill need to hold onto that for a bit.

I would not be willing to pay more than $8K for the Orions brand new either.

Are you moving from Paradigm Signature to Salk SoundScape?

 

[Warpdrv]

Yes these Sigs are version 1 - but still at this point and time are better then any version even the latest of the Studio line .v5

I'm curious: So you consider Salk SoundScape better than Philharmonic Audio ?

I'm pretty sure the Warpster hasn't heard any Philharmonics. But if he wants to hitchhike down Washington way...................

Dennis, I was just starting a new thread to avoid the further poisoning of this Linkwitz Orion .v4 thread... PM'd a mod to move my posts...

At any rate - Dennis is correct, I have not had the luxury of hearing Dennis's new Philharmonics, but I trust they would be every bit as graceful - as he designed the Xover for the SS M7's as well as his entire new line of PH's...

The PH's are not the greatest fit for my small bedroom...

Sorry ADTG, I started a new thread and asked my posts be moved or joined...

mods PLEASE move unrelated posts to my new thread....

Them L26RO4Y, better have like, 45mm of linear x-max and 100db sensitivity at 50hz to justify the price increase

No problem at all.

I don't mind at all. It's like we are sitting around and just talking about WHATEVER that comes into our minds at a party. It's all cool. No worries.

Salk, Philpharmonics, Orions, Paradigm -- they are all speakers so it is all good to me.

It makes little sense to me to sell the Orions for $15K.

I just could not believe the price increase!

Multiple choice:

Which would you buy with your money:

1) Revel Salon2 for $15,000
2) Linkwitz Orion v4 for $14,000
3) KEF 207/2 for $13,000
4) B&W 800 D for $17,000
5) Salk SoundScape 12 for $14,000

Option 6 - DIY

DEQX + 8x Hypex Ncore1200 + 2x Pioneer SWX1034 in open baffle, + 2x Acoustic Elegance Dipole18 + Dual Opposed 4x sealed Soundsplinter RLS-15 for a cardioid/dipole/coaxial active DSP speaker.

Heck, get Nathan Funk involved

May I please add Adam Tensor Gamma $17k ((fully active)? Thank you.

I did strongly consider the orions at 8k. Then I waited few months for the 4 to come out and finally I was put off by the price increase.
I did consider the Salon2 as well, but I was unable to audition them properly.

Any other FINISHED, NOT DIY, speakers you would consider in the same price range?

I got the Orion v3.2.1. w/ custom mahogany high-gloss finish (extra cost).

If I had waited for the v4 and saw the monster price increase, I would have said "Screw it!" too

Seaton Catalyst + 3x Submersive

Seaton Catalyst + 3x Submersive

I thought about them until I read the 'size' of the speakers. For me they would dominate everything in the living room. OTOH, If I had a theater...
The Adams I'm (most likely) getting have somethings in common: fully active, prosound background, DSP. Also, the can be adjusted which is a real plus for me, but I'm not sure the catalysts have that feature.
