We know some of you are trying like crazy to keep your system under $1,000. The problem with that plan is usually the little things, like speaker wire and audio cables. So, we've thought long and hard and put together what we think is the best way to spend $999 on an Orb system and get everything you need to get started. The MOD1 PLUS package includes a 5.1 Mod1 speaker system that has the most important upgrade -- a Mod2 center channel -- together with 100 feet of speaker wire, a 12 foot subwoofer cable and our BOSS Mod2 horizontal center channel stand so you have some eye candy, too.
Each system features our custom Super Eight subwoofer and our Mod1 and Mod2 Satellites to achieve an imersive, high quality listening experience. The Mod1 PLUS system is rated at 110W power handling and is compatible with all home theater receivers. The Mod1 and Mod2 satellites feature gold binding posts, high-power neodymium magnets and oxygen-free internal wire. They are assembled in the United States by skilled craftspeople with years of experience in electronics assembly. The Mod2 satellites are backed by a five year limited warranty, as well as a 30 day Satisfaction Guarantee. Please see our FAQ for further details and the links throughout this site. Our products are very high quality and labor intensive and we are quite proud of them.
Base Price: $999. Available in Gloss Black, Pearl White, Hand Polished Steel ($180 option), Hand Antiqued Copper ($180 option) and Hand Antiqued Bronze ($180 option). Like all Orb Audio systems, the Mod1 and Mod2 satellites in this system are Handmade In The USA. The Mod2 is also a perfect match with our optional HOSS designer floor stands, as shown to the right and below, so check them out. They are also compatible with our left and right BOSS desk stands, which are a sturdy, beautiful way to present your Mod2 speakers. All speakers that are not being wall mounted or placed on BOSS or HOSS stands will receive a free basic steel desk stand.

Subwoofer You can configure your system with either of our custom designed audiophile subwoofers, the 200 watt Super Eight and the 300 watt Uber Ten. Both subwoofers offer best in class performance and provide deep, accurate bass that will satisfy the most discerning listener. Like all Orb Audio products, our direct business model allows us to provide more for your money than almost any other brand, and both of these subwoofers outperform similar models that cost twice as much in stores. Forget the muddy, boomy bass that plagues many systems...these subs are clean, deep and accurate and are great for both music and movies.
The Super Eight is acoustically matched to our Mod1 and Mod2 satellites and is included in all of our speaker systems. It is the right subwoofer for almost all of our customers, the perfect combination of performance, size and price. In fact, the Super Eight offers the highest possible performance out of a 12 inch cube and has received many rave reviews. It features a high quality 200 watt BASH hybrid amplifier that is conservatively rated to peak at over 400 watts, a super long-throw 8" woofer and a high-power magnet. The Super Eight provides output that is on par with most high quality subwoofers that have much larger cabinets and drivers, and it retains the musicality and tightness that is essential to success (yet lacking in many other systems).
The Uber Ten is our answer to your requests over the last few years for a "cost is no object" design. Of course, cost is always important, and we did not ignore it. However, our primary design criteria was high performance, and the Uber Ten will blow your socks off. It features a 300W BASH hybrid amplifier, a proprietary high-excursion 10" driver and it packs all of the punch of much bigger subwoofers. We made the cabinet 1 1/2 inches larger (12" on the Super Eight v. 13.5" on the Uber Ten) for maximum performance while still preserving the compact nature of all Orb products. Anyone can make a deep, high power subwoofer that is great at explosions and not much else, but that just didn't cut it for us. We weren't looking for a sub that was just louder and deeper, we also wanted it to retain the musicality, snappiness and accuracy that made the Super Eight famous. To accomplish this, you basically need world class, audiophile components, and we designed every piece of the Uber Ten in this manner.
To be clear, though, the Super Eight is the right subwoofer for at least 90% of our customers. The Uber Ten is purely for those that have the extra budget and desire for bass beyond what is considered normal to most people. If you have an especially large room, or just prefer your bass to be as deep as possible and don't mind the extra 1.5" of cabinet space, consider the Uber Ten. Otherwise, put it out of your mind and go with our first love, the Super Eight.
Accessories All home theater systems ship with free attractive matching steel desk stands. Our HOSS floor stands are a great addition to our speaker systems, ultimately stylish and handcrafted in the United States from polished steel. Our new BOSS desk stands allow you to upgrade your desk stands to a stylish stainless steel design that is simply stunning (or you can use the desk stands that are included with the speakers and pictured throughout the site). Additionally, we have a variety of wall and ceiling mounts to attach our speakers in almost any situation, and be sure to check out our selection of audio and video cables, if you do not already have those items. For a limited time, speaker wire and subwoofer cables are on sale for very attractive prices.
As always, we are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Please email us or call us at 877-ORB-AUDIO (877-672-2834) if we can be of any assistance.
