KSR makes my favorite "modern " sounding amps I think, very good demo
Totally agree man, Kyle’s got it going on.
My buddy has an Orion and it kills. A USA made amp with four great channels that weighs 18 lbs and sounds as big as it does for $1800 is a no brainer.

Agreed. There's a vulgar grind to his amps that's unique. The Ares I owned had it and the Orion I just got has it...just a pissed off nasty sound. They are not the tightest nor fastest response in terms of attack, but boost them and they get tight enough with some give/bounce but very thick/fat. The Orion is mean as hell, and it can sound surprisingly full/big. Each of the gain channels is it's own thing and all sound great. Clean ch not sure, haven't touched it and probably never will, but hey it's got one.
 
These still getting some praise from those that tried them?

I really enjoyed mine. I had to sell it due to some fuck ups. I would gladly get another one. Not sure which I like more the Orion or the Ares.
 
I bought my Orion from ClintN667 and enjoyed it for what it is but just sold it because I have other amps I like a lot more. The Orion was a bit processed/synthetic sounding next to the other amps. Its still a great amp and gets aggressive as hell and has ridiculous amounts of gain...too much really...LOL! I played lead ch with gain at 2 and lightly boosted.
