In reply to poorthing71. Much belated but I just found this reply. I too was posted to Goose Bay in 88-92 as a Cdn Military member. Great memories.

In reply to poorthing71. You, sir, gave me a reason to save my hard earned money and consider Orb instead of three figures high end pool of endless hifi hunt for the perfect sound

Good sound is like good food a matter of taste. Years ago while in the Airforce I got stuck in Goose Bay Labrador for 18 months. Having a interest in HiFi audio and access to a nice wood shop I started designing and building loud speaker systems for something to pass the time. I soon learned there was often a big deference between faithful sound reproduction and what many people liked. Once I figured that out I started building speaker systems that could be tuned to personel tastes after construction was complete. My personal tastes for example leaned towards a modest juke box base coloration and zippy mid range. Could not build the speaker systems fast enough and the sound preferences of people often surprised me. Later in life I started having problems hearing and my first hearing test showd,you guessed a low frequency loss as well as a roll off in my mide ranges.
