The more i look at this I only see two options

1. Orions new ownership thinks like BOSS audio with ratings

2. Orion is going to tkae over the high end SPL market very soon

Lets hope number two. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I run two orion hcca d2400s and I like them a lot.. would be nice to see new quality amps from orion.

Um, wait, they have a series called 'Black Coil'? Why are they using renderings in the catalog? I loved Orion for so long, but man it seems to have fallen far. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 

The speaks and tweets look kind of straight from the Jinlida OEM catalog.

"watts nominal"? wtf? were do these companies come up with this crap. says CO5000.1 puts out 2500 RMS @ 1Ω @ 14.4v than 5000 watts nominal. I don't see Orion having a bright future with that type of literature.

That orion 8000.1d is cheaper than a sundown ns-1 and an american bass vfl 750.1

Those HCCA PA's are rated like a PG hardcore "flick" I'd guess...

Thanks for the link. I am skeptical on that power rating from Orion. Sad to be reminded of their state.

Yeah they got sold of to some South American company that is rumored to either have strong ties to and may even be owned by Sound Around (Pyramid)....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif:uhoh://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I felt it was that when DEI bought them and was right, I really didn't think it was gonna get worse but guess I was wrong......
