I'll keep my vintage 1963 Collins 75S-3B with the Collins 2.1 kHz mechanical
filter. Comparing the ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu and Orion, it makes them all
sound bad. Great audio comes from tubes. As to IM from BC stations, there
isn't any.

Wonder how the Orion's SSB audio sounds compared to an Omni VI??
For some reason, to my ears, my FT990 seems to sound better than my Omni
VI
on ssb.

I have an R4A I've been repairing here on the bench and with the same
speaker, it sounds better than the Orion :-).

I agree. The receive audio is lousey on the Orion.
Maybe you just need a decent speaker. Or perhaps your inner ear needs
some
work :-)
The Orion has excellent SSB receive audio, as good or better than any HF
rig
I've used (many, new and old), and generally requires little in the way
of
receive EQ. I do much prefer it with a little more than the usual
bandwidth
(say around 3 Khz or so), but that's no different than most radios which
sound like cr*p at the typical narrow bandwidths everyone want to use.
Of course, it would benefit greatly from a pair of P-P 6V6's in the
output
stage, but I doubt that's in the plan :-)
