crap my machine here at work just froze and I had this massive long reply, **** it, anyway, I was saying that I have messed with PG and Orion over the years, and both companies IMO make great products and have good history. I have always loved the quality of PG and their performance is always very good. Orion is the same way, I actually have an Orion amp sitting on my porch waiting for me to get home from the office, but I keep an eye on PG and Orion (along with many others) conversations on here and on many other boards, and for the most part people are very happy with both of them, the thing is that they are going to put out similar power and you will really not be able to tell the difference by ear, you have excellent speakers and it really comes down to is do you want a mean all black PG with nice controls, or a silver Orion with very similar controls, the power and SQ are going to be so close I think it comes down to looks and features and space, make sence?
