[TenTec] orion with 2.055 firmware -- headphones?

[Ron Castro]

I looked up that Sweet Sounds speaker on the Internet, and it looks like a 
pretty good accessory.  Pretty good efficiency, optimized response shaping 
to eliminate high-end hiss and extraneous junk as well as "boomyness" in the 
low end.  Is it as good as the web page makes it sound?
