Title: Getting the Orelo Mk II Post by: briefremarks on May 10, 2016, 12:41:28 am I pulled the trigger today on getting the Orelo Mk II speakers! Thanks to Peter for answering so many questions, to VJ for his wonderful hospitality and demo of his system, and to Paul and Mani for speaking with me about their systems and experience.
I'll keep everyone updated on progress. Title: Re: Getting the Orelo Mk II Post by: Mamba315 on May 10, 2016, 10:00:37 am How soon do you expect to receive them? Look forward to hearing your impressions once they arrive.
Did you consider the Sigma speaker that Peter and Bert took to Xfi with 6x12" drivers per channel? I thought the price was very similar to Orelo MKII, but with more woofer area. Haven't heard much about those speakers since last fall. I think Bert was even working on a 6x15 version!

Quote Did you consider the Sigma speaker that Peter and Bert took to Xfi with 6x12" drivers per channel? I am confident my response (and me answering to this) may come across as a bit strange, but I am strange myself anyway : Yes, Ramesh considered those and together we came to this decision. My point (of answering this) is : Many options need to be considered and say that it takes dozens of emails to work this out. After that a conclusion is personal and in the end based on my given data plus in this case an audition; If in one post it would be layed out why the decision is as it is then we'll see that the internet is the internet and things start to lead an own life, almost always unjustified. While the above is one point of (my) concern, an even more important one is the "debunking" of other's choices, which is all so easy for a human being to imply. Thus for example, when one would express an honest opinion like "the Sigma sounds like sh*t" then the owner of that can be assured he made the wrong choice. And this also happens in aftermath (envision someone buying that, reading this text of concern after the fact). So all I try to avoid is that people implicitly make others sad. Of course you guys can talk in private what you want (hey, would I be able to stop you from doing that anyway ?). Or ask me in private (as long as you think I can be trusted :)).

Congrats!! Welcome to the Orelo MK-II club. :) Looking forward to your updates. Best, VJ Title: Re: Getting the Orelo Mk II Post by: Scroobius on May 11, 2016, 09:14:47 pm Hey Ramesh - congratulations! I would also welcome you to the Orelo club but for me it is the Orelino club which as far as I know still only has one member and that is me.
A very happy member though :) Cheers Paul |
