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.

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 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!
