Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison?

Drubin - I agree that the Athenas sounded slightly muted on top. That was more perceptible with certain recordings than others. Still, I found them very nice to listen to.

So much of this is affected by the ancillary equipment and the room, as of course you know. Also, I'm not a Daedalus owner, so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a tablespoon.

I've heard them both, and I thought they both sounded excellent. My impression, FWIW, was that the Devore 9's were slightly more transparent in the highs, and the Athenas were slightly more expressive in the midrange. Neither had very low bass, but what bass they did have was musical.

The differences might have been attributable to the ancillary equipment, but that's what I heard.

You can't go wrong either way, IMO.
