The 250r and the 225g are both much newer amps made by directed electronics in Korea. Neither are technically "old school" Orion as they were made after Orion sold out to DEI in the late 90s. I'm looking for an offer in the 2k range, they sold for $1200.00 new.Geeze well I'm not a offer kinda person because I'm always afraid I will offend but I ask to see if it's in my budget for amp buying. Im just being honest because to me this amp is valuable. Not sure if it's more or less than a 250 but regardless its unique. I have 1 hcca 250g4 in mint condition and I just paid for a 250r that is very nice not mint tho. I paid 200 for the g4 and 250 for the 250r both shipped to me. It's not perfect and has two very small scuffs but it's not bad. I have a 225g4 and a few xtreme amps and 1 cobalt but it's my drug lol. Would you take 275? Please dont be upset it that's way to low I just have no idea what you want for it and I been shopping for the 250s are in that neighborhood.

Thanks! I believe so too.Your amp is definitely worth alot for sure.
I ain't dreaming, you just dont know much about this stuff, and I think we're just in different classes.
Hey no I knew it wasn't you who told me I was dreaming, I was worried youd read that Nd think it was directed at you. It was directed at MattinMO who said I was dreaming. I just double checked and yeah you're right the 150r and 250r were released at the same time. I was positive it was a late 90s era amp. I never liked the amp /cover series, they were very controversial at the time opening up the heatsync to stick a screwdriver or some other object to flip dip switches or swap modules etc seemed half thought out to me. Power and build quality were excellent as they were made during Orion's reign. I believe they became the XTR line in 1987? 88? and the xover controls became externally accessible.Oh no your not dreaming I didnt say that. I didnt disagree with the G4 part. I didnt agree with the 250r but that's because I was in and out of the Orion dealer shop on just about every lunch period when I was in school, "late 90s". I remember seeing the 150r along with the two channel 225r, 250r and 275r. Before these I remember the competition/ x-over hcca amps and the owner of the shop said the 150r was a newer version of the hcca 425. Is that true? Who knows but the 150r wasn't as desirable for me because at the time I didn't care about mid range sound quality because I was young and dumb. But when I was ready to buy one he recommended the competition amplifier/ x-over above all the rest for 2 channel operation. Of course this amp was a few years old but he still had some because not everyone could afford to drop that kinda cash on an amplifier. So after reading your message about the amps on where they were made I took my 250G4 and 250R amps apart to see what's inside. Both say made in the USA on the outside but as you said the G4 is made in Korea but the 250r is made in the USA. You were right about the G4 I'm not disagreeing with you on that. I just wanted to see for myself. I'm a Gov cloud engineer so by nature I like to do research versus making assumptions and you obviously know your stuff. I'm sure much more than me based on what you posted prior on this thread about your previous experience. And honestly if this Corona virus wasnt taking over I would probably offer you what you want because I know these amps are gems. Not G4 or newer apparantly lol. Also knowing that you know a great deal could you tell me what you opinion is on the competition amplifier/x-over amps?
$2k for that is never going to happen not here not eBay not nowhere you would be damn lucky to get $800. I’ve bought and sold more old school amps to know it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay and $2k for a 150r is absurd and unrealistic so again I say keep dreamingWhy do you have to be a c u n t? I just looked at a bunch of your posts, you're kinda a huge cock to everyone on here.
You have a sad home life or something that you have to come on here and act like an angry mean child?
Grow up and SHUT UP troll! That should be your title on here: "Senior Super Cunty Troll"

I’m sensing a whole lot of butthurt maybe you should just pawn that amp for some money to buy some anal Suppositories that is if they don’t fall right out from all the dick that been up thereSo again you're being a C U N T. And you clearly know NOTHING AT ALL about this stuff. Why are on here anyway?
Oh right.... you get to be a C U N T to people daily. You know you can do this sort of troll **** on any forum why did you pick this one? You probably know as much about wasting your life in your moms basement as you do car audio, why dont you go on one of those "tips for living moms basement"websites and f u c k with people's sales on there?
You're a huge fu cking TROLL, look at all the nasty shity comments you make to people all over this board.
You need to sober up, shave, shower, apologize to your family, and go take an air brake course so you can drive buss and make yourself feel better about your life. Then you dont have to be a huge phoney and a troll on line.. if this site has moderators I'd hope you would be removed for being a negative force in the community and for fuc king with peoples sales.
Sounds about right from someone like you. Well we all have the full measure of your character and intellect now... You know that you are a piece of crap and you don't mind showing everyone....******* Canadians all brain dead cousin fuckers
