Iʻve been running a set of custom built open baffle Linkwitz Orions for about 20 years now. Like many, I get hit with "Audio Lust" from time to time, but then I fire up the Orions and fall in love again. I especially love them for voices and acoustic piano. Being open baffle, the tonal balance is consistent throughout the room Imaging is best in the sweet spot of course, like most loudspeakers, but they sound good everywhere. They also have terrific dynamic range and can crank as loud as I like on large symphonic works, big band jazz, etc.
