Wilson Alexx V vs Rockport Orion

[Charles S]

Very envious. Does she think the XVXs do a big powerful live with dynamics too?

When I'm with her, the XVX is the last thing on my mind. She comes from severe poverty but is quite intelligent and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She works in a prison as a prison guard and is very strong. She is in college to become an ultrasound tech. She would have zero understanding of my sound system. I have had people over that become frightened by the look of my system and don't even want to hear it. The Thor in particular is quite intimidating. I help her with her expenses. She's a fantastic companion and strong willed. Strangely, we are an excellent match. I'm sure there are better roller skaters than me at my age but I have never met one. I can do just about anything on roller skates. I skated for 3 hours tonight, will skate for 2 hours on Tuesday. I'm going as Einstein on Thursday night (different rink). She will be at the prison at 3:15 am for work and makes 21.95 dollars/hour. I am privileged beyond comprehension to be her future husband.

She got her nails done today. That's Corissa alias Sunchild, one of the best skaters in America, in the Halloween contest tonight. She wants to be a Nurse practitioner (NP). She's a good friend.

There is the 12/2022 Robert Harley interview of Josh about the Orion. Did he publish a full review of the Orion?

 

[JiminGa]

Yes of course

Yes of course

I could not find the full review, doing a search, that’s why I asked. Would you be so kind as to point me to the issue month/year or a link?

Thx! Now that I look closer I think it's actually crooked! My OCD will get the best of me. Lol

Don't let that happen, Matt! It's nice seeing you grace these pages

I applaud dedicated horn and SE amplifier purveyors like Hearken, who sell the brands they are most passionate about. Smaller bespoke brands get little notice in the hobby, especially in North America, and it takes men like this to invest in bringing them in despite the challenges of selling brands without brand recognition. I respect brands like Wilson, Magico, Rockport, et al. (in full disclosure, I am a strategic advisor to Von Schweikert Audio). Still, it's a brave new world of horns and panels, and every audiophile should hear them correctly set before stopping six figures on a loudspeaker and electronics before deciding what their definition of magic is. Kudos to Matt and those like them who are traveling the road less advertised and written about. To me, this is what our hobby and business are all about.

Good to hear from you Gary! Just finding my way around here on this forum. There are so many different rabbit holes to dive into here.
