January 29, 2009

Orb Audio, the U.S. manufacturer of award-winning speaker systems that feature high-quality components, upscale design and affordable prices, introduces this week the addition of its new TOSS (Tubes Of Sculpted Steel) floor stands. With a gentle curved profile and diamond shaped steel riser, the new floor stands are both stylish and unique. They are also 100% handmade in the USA by skilled artisans and craftspeople. By combining top of the line components with a talented, conscientious local manufacturing team, Orb Audio continues to offer new, exciting products that stand out from the ever-increasing lineup of mass produced audio products from overseas. “The new TOSS floor stands combine elegant and modern style with uncompromised quality, all at a great web-direct price” says Gary Pelled, Co-Founder and Chief Designer, Orb Audio. A diamond-shaped steel tube is combined with a gentle curve for a sharp front view and attractive, designer profile. The 4-lb. radius laser-cut base is crafted from cold rolled steel sourced from U.S. mills. Speaker wire runs through the curved steel riser, so the wire disappears and the user enjoys a seamless installation. Even though TOSS requires more steel and labor to product than many other speaker stands, Orb Audio’s web-direct business model holds the line on pricing. Further, by utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to maximize efficiency of production, Orb Audio is able to meet a lower price point without sacrificing design, quality or beauty. “Our direct business model allows us to make a handmade, designer product in the U.S. at a reasonable price. We couldn’t do this if we sold our products in traditional stores requiring 100% markups or worse.” says Pelled. Founded in 2002, Orb Audio home theater speakers and stereo speaker systems are an award-winning combination of superb sound and small, attractive design. They are all crafted with custom compact, round satellite speakers and high-performance audiophile subwoofers, the Super Eight and Uber Ten. Customers can choose one, two or four Orbs per modular speaker to create a system of Mod1, Mod2 and Mod4. They can then upgrade or downgrade the speakers between Mod1, Mod2 and Mod4 at any time. “It is possible to start with a small system and eventually upgrade over time,” says Pelled. “This is a great choice if you are on a budget, or if you plan to move the system to a different room in the future. You can start with our smallest system and upgrade it to our top of the line system incrementally, over the course of months or years.” Pelled says Orb Audio’s speakers and subwoofers feature top of the line components, “like those usually found only in much more expensive systems.” These include high-power neodymium magnets, advanced high excursion speaker drivers and gold-plated binding posts, as well as state-of-the-art BASH hybrid digital amplifiers. “The result is great-sounding speakers and robust compact subwoofers that produce output on par with much larger models,” says Pelled. “Additionally, our satellites are assembled in the United States by skilled craftspeople and they truly look as good as they sound.” Orb Audio’s new TOSS Floor Stands are currently available at www.orbaudio.com for $218. Compatible with Orb Audio’s Mod1 and Mod2 speakers, the new floor stands are available in Solar Black or Ice White. Every Orb system ships with the company’s 30-Day No Hassle Home Trial, which means customers can try them at home and return them for any reason (or no reason) at all. With fast, reliable ground shipping for only $9, it is very easy to hear the Orbs at home.
