Clean power? Nice sound?

If its under 1.5-2% THD you wont be able to hear a difference. SO that rules out the clean power.

Nice sound? You need to realize that the speaker is what makes or break your nice sound part. The amp will play a role, but not as much as the speaker.

With all that said both are clean, both are good amps. Pick the one that has the features you want, also pick which ever is cheaper.

Tarantula is better than the Orion all the way

I would take the Tarantula over the Orion without question.

have any of u owned anyone of these amps, if not u shouldnt have a say so. the orion is a way better amp hands down, the sound doesnt come close 2 the capabilites of the orion. dont comment becuz of wha u read or heard, use em test em and run em hard, and then recommend.

I have used orion and tarantula amps... i'm not saying that orion amps are bad they are the shit but tarantula's are higher league amps, very underrated, very powerful and sound definitely better than the orion.

I repeat i'm not saying orion amps are bad i wish i had the money to buy a 2500D.

the soundstream is rated at 4ohms mono and the orion one ohm mono. Correct? How are you wiring the subs?
