Wood Artistry, L.L.C. offers several choices of construction for Orion speakers. These are reference-standard dipole speakers designed by Siegfried Linkwitz. They are available in a variety of beautiful solid woods completely assembled and finished, partially finished, in kit form including choices of wood, or as a DIY project. These floor standing speakers are less than four feet tall, are thirteen inches wide, and sixteen inches deep. They include two ten inch woofers, an eight inch midrange and two tweeters per cabinet. The Orion speakers use an active Analog Signal Processor (ASP) crossover/equalizer and a multi-channel amplifier. For additional bass output the matching Thor subwoofers are offered. Please see the reviews of these speakers for more about their reference quality performance. For a wealth of information about these speakers and the reproduction of sound through speakers, please follow the link to the Linkwitzlab website. We also offer completed Pluto (see pictures at bottom of this page) speaker systems. See reviews at Linkwitz Lab
