I resisted chiming in. Until now. You need a larger room. Or go with O/93's though they do not sound the same. The O/93's are arguably the better balanced speaker while the '96's are more fun, more lively, more likely to make you start shaking your head or butt or both. If I thought there was some chance I would be moving in the future to a house with a larger listening room I would go with the '96's.
Devore 0/96 and Room Size
I've really enjoyed the 0/96 every time I've heard them and there are a couple of used pairs for sale now. My biggest concern is that my room is 15 feet deep. I believe at least 8 feet is recommended so that the drivers blend and I don't want them closer than 3 or 4 feet from the wall behind, which only leaves 2 or 3 feet behind the listening chair. Would love to hear from owners about their experiences. Thanks.
