Complete High Performance Home Theater Audio Solution. The HT Express Pro is the perfect combination of performance and price, matching the best speaker systems from Orb with your choice of very highly rated Denon home theater receivers, Blu-Ray and DVD players. We are also an authorized dealer of OPPO Blu-Ray players. We've tried to think of everything. Just customize the system to meet your preferences and you are on your way to the highest performance home theater at the best price. The Orb direct business model is a very big advantage and you have before you the same systems that have been getting rave reviews and are routinely ranked above packages from our competitors in the $3,000+ range. Add 100 ft of speaker wire and a 12 foot subwoofer cable to any package for only $34! Speaker Choices The system can be configured with any Orb speaker system and any receiver we sell. We recommend the People's Choice system for medium rooms and the Mod2 system for large rooms. You can customize your speaker package by using the drop-down menus above to select 5, 6 or 7 speakers and to select between Mod1 and Mod2 speakers. We recommend Mod2 speakers for your front speakers if you have a medium or large room or if you will be using the system for both music and movies. Choose Mod2 for your rear speakers if you have a larger room, prefer to listen at loud volumes or simply want the ultimate home theater experience. Add a 7th surround channel if you have a large room, will be placing the rear speakers very high or far away from the listening position, or if you will be using the system for Blu-Ray discs (which have 7.1 encoding). If you have any questions about home theater speaker placement, check out this link give us a call at 877-ORB-AUDIO, or send us an email at support@orbaudio.com. No matter what speaker package you choose, you can expect the richest, fullest sound from our small, attractive satellite speakers and our custom Super Eight and Uber Ten subwoofers. Our Mod1 and Mod2 satellites are constructed with a custom-designed, elite quality, full-range 3" driver, set in our exclusive 4 3/16" steel sphere enclosures. They are handcrafted in the USA and produce fantastic imaging and detailed, accurate audio reproduction. Together, the satellite speakers and Orb subwoofers produce an unbeatable listening experience that your ears and eyes will simply not believe. They are comparable in output to floorstanding speakers and will blow your mind without blowing your budget. By selling web-direct, we can use higher quality components than other companies and sell our speakers for half the cost or less. There really is no beating this business model, since your money is going into top quality components and craftsmanship, not middlemen and extensive ad campaigns. Forget the $3,000+ systems out there -- this one is better and will make you happier. The Mod1 and Mod2 satellite speakers in the HT Express Pro are available in Metallic Black Gloss, Pearl White Gloss and Hammered Earth. Our beautiful, labor intensive Hand Polished Steel, Hand Antiqued Copper and Hand Antiqued Bronze finishes are available for an additional $30 per Orb. The HT Express Pro is protected by our 30 Day Satisfaction Return Policy, so you can buy with confidence. Additionally, the Mod1 and Mod2 satellites and Super Eight subwoofer are covered by the Orb Five Year/One Year Warranty and the Pioneer/Yamaha/Denon electronics are covered by a one year warranty through the manufacturer. Full details are available in the links in the navigation bar to the left. Subwoofers 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. 2011-2012 Denon Receivers The HT Express can be configured with your choice of award-winning receivers from Denon, from the entry level AVR-1312 to the top of the line AVR-3312CI. All feature HDMI 1.4a, great sound and outstanding Denon quality. The AVR-1312 features 75 watts per channel, with support for up to 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is an excellent basic receiver. The AVR-1612 also features 75 watts per channel and 5 channels. It's main upgrade is the iPod Direct port on the front of the receiver. Simply plug in your iPod or iPhone to the receiver and start listening to your iPod audio. This receiver also adds an Audyssey auto setup program and some slightly more advanced audio and video features. The AVR-1912 sports 90 watts of per channel and can power 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. It also has six HDMI inputs (up from 4 on the AVR-1312 and 1612). This receiver supports 2 zones of audio and can play different audio sources in each zone. It also adds support for AirPlay, internet radio, Pandora, Napster and Rhapsody. It has an ethernet port and is DLNA 1.5 certified. Basically, this receiver has all of the features of last year's $1,000 receiver, for about half the price. We highly recommend this receiver if you have typical home user needs. The AVR-2112CI is similar to the 1912, with additional features such as upgraded surround channel amplifiers. This receiver is the first in the Denon IN-COMMAND series and is optimized for custom integration/home automation. It has 12v trigger outputs, RS-232 interface for 3rd party remotes and other accessories, and 2nd zone pre-amp outputs. We recommend this receiver if you will be using these custom controls or if you will be setting up a 6 or 7 speaker system and want upgraded amplifiers for these surround channels. If you will not be using either of these feature sets, we recommend that you go up or down one model in the product line. The AVR-2312CI is a great receiver. It features more power than the 2112CI (105 watts per channel) as well as many more inputs and outputs. It also has support for dual subwoofers and advanced multi-zone features. We recommend this receiver if you want more power than the 1912 or 2112CI, have a lot of things to connect, or would like to use two subwoofers or two separate audio zones. The AVR-3312CI is a top of the line reciever and dishes out intense home theater performance. It features 7 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs, so you can send signal to 2 screens. It also has 3 zones of separately controllable audio. Like it's sibilings, you will find Apple AirPlay and a great Denon Remote App to use with your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Often, our customers save enough in speaker markups to more than pay for this upgrade. We recommend this receiver if it is in your budget and you want top of the line audio and video performance. 125 watts per channel at 0.05% THD (vs. 08% on other models) 7 HDMI Inputs and 2 HDMI Outputs. Yes -- send video to two TVs! Two subwoofer outputs Apple AirPlay compatibility and Ipod/Iphone direct front panel connection Denon Remote App for iPhone/iPod/iPad Dolby Pro Logic IIz with 2 additional height channels Computer network streaming including FLAC HD Online Denon maintenance (you can allow us to access your receiver) Denon IN-COMMAND for custom installation and whole house audio control PC set up and control (set up receiver on your computer) Audyssey auto setup program Multi-source/multi-zone (listen to 3 different things in 3 different rooms) Audio delay for perfect lip synch XM & Sirius Radio ready (adapter/subscription required) advanced multi-zone preamp outputs including selectable output levels The predecessor to the AVR-3312CI was $500 more and had fewer features. So, if you are looking for a high end receiver, this is a great time to choose a Denon. In fact, all of these Denon receivers are excellent, you can't really go wrong at any of these price points.
