Maybe, maybe not. Linkwitz is a good designer and has a great track
record, but the prices he charges for a finished pair of Orions is
hardly a good value. If Scott was able to build them for next to
nothing, then he could have done a lot worse.


I think if you compare them to what is out there from most hi-end speaker
manufacturers, they offer extremely good value. It really depends on who
builds the cabinets and how much of your own effort you put into them.
All the drivers along with completed electronics-including the power
amplifier- can be had for about $4800. You can buy a flat pack cabinet kit
for $700 and build the whole thing up yourself in a couple of days' work.
So, with a little effort, you can get into a complete setup for under $6000.
