I completely retooled my system to a combination 2 ch and HT. The CJ preamp has a nice HT bypass enabling me to have a nice combo system. I will update soon with a picture as the Maelstrom subs are still under construction.

Are you powering the Orions with tube amps? I own a pair of Orions and would be interested in hearing how they sound with tube amps on the mids and tweeters. Siegfried mentioned this on his website, but would love to hear a review, and would love to see your comments at the users site for Orions. orion.quicksytes.com
