Engadget "reviews" Orb Audio's modular speaker system
The actual review is bullshit—no comparison to competing products, very little said about sound quality, nothing to indicate that any critical listening took place.
But I linked because these guys have been making a big marketing push lately and I’m genuinely curious about the products. They certainly have great aethetics and the modular idea is cool, but how is the execution? And, beyond that, can they compete with comparatively priced but significantly larger bargain models (NHT SuperZero, AudioEngine P4, Pioneer SP-BS41-LR)?
I was only supposed to review their small integrated amplifiers, but they sent along some of their speakers to try out too. The review may not make it into Macworld but I’ll publish my thoughts here, at minimum.
