I am starting this thread for my friend Awjeez who is awaiting delivery of Orbs.
Any Orb owners out there? Post your opinions and advice!

How were they hooked up?

Then I might want to more carefully consider the receiver. I'm sure my H/K AVR630 would be up to it. Other than that, the main preferable option to consider with the Orbs is having a receiver with a 120 Hz or 150 Hz crossover.

Thanks for your reply. Tell me if I am missing something, but the Outlaw receiver appears to be just a 2 channel. I am interested in a 5.1 system that can be turned into a 7.1. Outlaws 7 channel is out of my price range.
