When I had my Gyro SME IV I took it back to Michell (Jon was still alive at this time) and had it modified at their factory. To be honest I thought it actually sounded worse, bass had become a lot thicker but there also seemed to be a loss of air and some of the analytical nature of the Gyro I'd come to love. From what I can tell the Orbe seems to combine the detail of the Gyro with some of that extra solidity of its bass reproduction but still with the analytical qualities of the Gyro.
