I like the Orangutans too, but as you say, it's hard to make a comparison to speakers 3x the cost. They're also very different speakers than what I'm used to. They do some things extremely well (rock, big music, etc) but I prefer John's other offerings for jazz. They're a terrific addition to his line up and I think a lot depends on your musical preferences which direction you'd go.

I'm always fascinated by the Haut Brion vs. Cortese comparison. To my ear, that F2a tube is the bomb. Others hear the world quite differently. I guess that's what makes this hobby (and world for that matter) so interesting.

Can yo share some more about the Orangutans? I'd welcome your input on why and what you like about the O96's. Thanks!
