I want to replace my beloved Polk R700 and Hypex Amp with the Palmer Orbits.
Can't wait to see the Klippel measurements
Why it's sold out everywhere? Can't find it anywhere in France.
They did not anticipate the hype ?

Without any experience in the field, how could they have known that something like hype would develop?
For a newcomer to any market, it makes sense to wait and see how supply and demand develop.

Cardioid speakers under 4k a pair = instant hype

Projecting demand accurately for a totally new line is pretty difficult and expensive, building more than a minimal number of units for the first run is therefore super risky, especially because some issues are inevitably only discovered after mass production starts and units reach consumers. Having product on hand that you can't sell has a lot of bad downstream effects on the business. A company like Adam hall does not get to its size by being reckless and bad at inventory management...
By the same token I expect the second run will make these speakers pretty easy to find compared to now.
The Orbit isn't Palmer's first monitor speaker. Though given how little splash its predesessor made, I can see why initial production quantity of the Orbit 11 was limited.

Aesthetically those look way better to my eyes. I'm not a huge fan of glossy finished speakers. I'm old school and strongly prefer wood finishes (preferably real veneer).

It really does! Those fancy wooden sides makes me even accept the orange ring.Esthetically those look way better to my eyes. I'm not a huge fan of glossy finished speakers. I'm old school and strongly prefer wood finishes (preferably real veneer).
The Studiomon 5 does appear to be relatively low tech. Since that design, though, Palmer appears to have hired or contracted with some remarkably up-to-date competent engineering people.The Orbit isn't Palmer's first monitor speaker.

Seems so.
They're pretty mediocre cheap monitors, nothing noteworthy:

They do look really classy - sort of 1970s high end classy. Only £157 each from Thomann.Aesthetically those look way better to my eyes. I'm not a huge fan of glossy finished speakers. I'm old school and strongly prefer wood finishes (preferably real veneer).
You're welcome.

You meant the Studiomon? I thought the question was about the Orbit.
By but yeah, egad the Studiomon looks bad.
Measurements for the Orbit were on the sight but taken down. They looked excellent. The measurements are still up on You Tube.
