Just to be clear, they neither recommend for it, or against it.
They just give you what you want, and what works for your system.
They are totally agnostic. But yeah, one set of binding posts is certainly standard and works.
Here's the excerpt from Robert Harley's review, he used the CH Precisions apparently. My point was that a conscious decision was made to run the Orions bi-amped.
"We decided to passively bi-amplify the Orion with the CH Precision M10 amplifiers. The M10’s remarkable configuration flexibility...
To bi-amp or not is a religious argument, with acolytes, true believers and zealots lined up on both sides. No right or wrong answer is possible.
Both sides serve the same god, perfection in musical reproduction, and as in any religion each has their own view of who and what that god is, and...
The natural place in the existing speaker line for a 'smaller Orion' to fit is the spot currently occupied by the Cygnus. Using the Orion midrange and tweeter, and cabinet approach at a lower price point would occupy the high value spot currently there.
It seems like he would not mention it if...
“Like the Orion but smaller". Sounds like a replacement for the Cygnus using the Orion cabinet approach, midrange and tweeter.
I wonder if it will have one woofer or two woofers?
Just to offer another perspective, I have the Focal Maestro Utopia Evo model as Jay had for awhile. These followed the Focal Scala Utopia Evo, which followed the Sopra 2. I think they sound phenomenal, and I run them biamped.
Many find the Focal beryllium tweeter to be electrostatic like...
With all respect, the question posed was that given the driving demands of the M7, what else would work besides Pilium? Since it's already known that a) Pilium does fine and b) Alon likes them (enough to use them anyway) the question is what else beyond that. Aside from that, one may align with...
I am somewhat disappointed that the M7 is not bi-amped like the M9, as it will take an amplifier with a ton of power to drive these speakers. The M6 already requires a substantial amp, and even one reviewer under-powered it. One can only imagine what the M7 will need.
What are the options to...
I think this is 100% on target, Peter. If you like the Magico sound the M7 may be one step removed from perfection. But if you don't it may be $350k for two steps further into irrelevancy. There are lots of less expensive speakers many may view as better, or at least more desirable to them, at...
