Good luck with your Orbs and let us know how you like them. I almost got a 7.2 setup with them but backed off because of the lack of reviews.

I ended up getting cheaper but widely and positively reviewed Athena AS-F2's (4) plus the Athena AS center channel and AS-B2 rear surrounds with the Outlaw sub. The Orb's with stands was going to run me $2700. I got the Athena's from audioadvisor.com for half that.

One concern about the Orbs I have is DVD-A and SACD which was a major reason for getting a new system. With the 950's analog bass management crossing over at 80hz I was afraid of a big hole in the sound. I could have opted to get the ICBM1 but that would have been more $.

Good luck,
