Actual listening experience with Devore and wolf Von langa

I've heard both speakers and like both very much all things being equal I'd go with the WvL because I just love the sound of field coil drivers.

That said the 096 is no slouch and I could very happily live with it. I'd say going on memory it's a bit warmer and richer sounding where as the WvL is a bit more lively.

Thank you, I appreciate the reply.

One thing I left out the Devore was driven by Shindo gear and WvL by Tron tubed gear that might also account for a bit of the difference that part is hard to say.

I see, I am leaning towards Devore after talking to the guy at the music room.

my listening room is 28x17 and he said it might be questionable as far as filling the room. I recently sold Devore o93 and it was fine I just think the o96 will be better

I would think the 096 would fill a room that size just fine it's a pretty large speaker and can play quite loudly. And if you had the 093 you have a great idea of what that sound will be. Not sure where you're located but WvL has been pretty active at recent audio shows if you can get to one I'd say check them out. I've become a big fan of field coils over the years I just don't have the space for them!

What is this "filling" of the room, you're talking about? Are you and your ears omnipresent in every lil inch, nook and corner of your room somehow? No, it sits 9 feet triangulated from a pair of speakers. Any speaker should "fill" the room for ya.

Hi Scott,  I just responded to your message so take a look.  Yes, the WVL Sons will energize and load your room with no problem at all.  They are a fantastic speaker for your sized room.  My first room with them was larger than yours and they sounded fantastic.  

I heard the wolf Von langa on two occasions and did not enjoy the experience. Sounded too thin for my taste. Maybe it wasn't matched with the right amps.
