Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these?

I am interested in getting owners' opinion about this new monitor from Devore. How would you describe them sonically? What amplification and cabling are you using with them? How large or small a room are you using them in? Do they need a subwoofer? Finally, what type of music do you think they are best suited for. Thx very much in advance.

Devore has bee recommended by a friend whose opinion I trust and respect, so I am curious about the 3's in particular.

Would anyone know how they might compare vs. ATCs, Harbeths or Spendors?

I see that the Devores are ported, whereas the Harbeths and ATCs are not. Would this suggest a mid bass frequency rise?

I have heard many suggestions that ATCs are analytical, and also how well they play at loud volumes. I have SCM7s on my desktop which I find easy to listen to, and never play them loudly.

My main concern for this application is smooth non fatiguing sound and good midrange, for all day, every day listening.

So my sense is I might like Harbeth P3SERs, but would love to know if the Devotes "organic" and "human" qualities might win out over the Harbeths?

Thank you,

Ghasley,

If the 3xl is comparable to the bigger Harbeths, maybe we comparing the 3xl and P3ESR is more like comparing tangerines to oranges?
