[zachzchw 5,000+ posts]

I know a few of you have owned/used both.....Anyone had a chance to do any testing on power, etc?

I know the Orion does its rated power, not sure if its underrated or if by how much.

Also know that the IA is underrated, but by how much?

the IA is rated at 1800 watts rms and costs like $619 vs. the orion which does 2500 rms at 1 ohm and can be had brand new for $550. the orion has also been known to do 0.5 ohm daily

The IA will go much lower than that.

you also dont know how underrated the 20.1 is

along with the fact that you don't know jack shit about impedence rise

not to mention that "2500d" is not running at no where near a .5ohm load //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if it were it'd be nothing but smoke and a distant memory

ohm's law is a ***** isnt it?

well you're comparing them strictly on rated power.... which in this case means absolutely nothing. You're also comparing them with the lowest price they can be had for. Let's compare them for retail price.... lol

i'm comparing them on where they can be bought at an authorized dealer. the orion is no slouch, it does make its rated power and then some. i haven't even taken sides. it seems everybody likes the small companies except for ED and hate on the mainstreem.
