Description

Oris horn system using both compression drivers and FR drivers. I go back and forth between Oris 150 horn and Oris Orphean system. Both have their advantages. Oris reference bass system and KCS basshorn system are staggering with the viscereal impact they produce. Chest thumping tight, articulate bass response.

Hey John. Thanks for looking at my system. I sent you an email that I was the guy in Hagerstown who bought your basshorns from the guy who also had Avantgarde Trios. Thanks for your response. Blair

Hi Afc, Having four 18" drivers and four 15" drivers makes for spectacular bass. The Oris horns are very fast and dynamic. I only use 2.5 watts for the Oris horns and 300 watts for the bass horns. The Oris horns only weigh 25 lbs. each. The bass horns weigh about 350 lbs. each. Thanks for your response.

Cool system. Horn bass can be amazing.

Nice. I wager that you get a lot of slack jaws hitting the floor when people see those monster speakers. I've never actually listened to horns. Something I need to do in the near future. They weigh in at how much?

Incredible system. Just out of curiosity have you ever measured the max spl at the listening position out - or dare I ask
