Hi George,
I want to thank you for all your support regarding researching the ORLA. Even though I was not satisfied with the XD3 for my purposes and the type of music I play, I will be happy to refer your store to anyone looking for new equipment in the future.
I am glad to say I traded the XD3 for an new ORLA XM900-DLX and will be happy to offer my reviews once I receive it. My XM800 has been a workhorse for many years now but it was time to upgrade. For me, the simplicity of the ORLA design far outweighs any better sounds or flexibility offered by the XD3. From my perspective, the number one frustration with both brands is documentation. Anyone wanting to start a side business writing comprehensive, well written and understandable documentation would do well. Something gets lost in the translation.
Thanks again.
