I might be bringing up an old post but I still wanted to post this I bought the orion xtr amp and the cab 1600 from a good friend of mine I just thought I would post the differences and my opinion on which one I think is better. So the orion has a very cheap bass knob, no full ssf only 0 and 25 hz while the cab is completely adjustable, the xtr has a plug in for strapping 2 amps together the cab is strappable also but a different way. I can completely say no doubt that the cab is just an overall better amp with more power than the xtr I'm not saying the xtr is bad but you can literally buy the Cab for 200 while the xtr is more. If I was to choose between the two the cab has my vote it's a power house for 200 bucks I also had problems with my xtr going into protect after playing for awhile and the cab never done that so I just sent the xtr back and kept the beastly cab.
