I would like to see a picture of these Orchard Bay cones to see if they have any unusual features, search of the internet turns up nothing. Anyone have a web address to see these.
I just tried a pair of the Mapleshade triplepoint heavyfoot brass cones which are indeed slightly better in all respects vs standard heavyfoot. The standard Mapleshade heavyfoot was my previous cone of choice being better than any of the 3-4 other brands I have tried. The triplepoints are a little harder to correctly set-up initially, I used the two down, one up pattern to simplify installing under CDP. These are massive brass cones, Mapleshade contends the height and mass are necessary to acheive optimum sound vs other designs.
Have not tried Walker or Orchard Bay cones.
