DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3?

Hi
What do you think would be better for a warm organic late night listening (classic music, opera and jazz)?
Stereophile reviewed the O/93 as a perfect pairing with SIT-3 (even is SIT-3 prefers low impedance speakers).
Duet15 seems to me more sensible (97db vs 93db) (and Steve Guttenberg think are top).
My current speakers are 4ohms / 87db Avalon Indra, absolute fantastic at their 80db listening kingdom.

Thanks

I've owned the O/93 and heard the O/96 on many occasions. I agree with fsonicsmith get the 96 if you can. I've heard the same things, one being that the woofer is substantially better designed and compromises had to be made for the 93. Hard to get a woofer to play deep and still play mids well. Both great speakers.

No matter how efficient the speaker, there will will always be the struggle between high power authority and being king of your domain, versus low power beauty and finesse. Go with the 96 (end game) versus 93 (more affordable) if you can. Try high and low power amps and pick of get the best in one price class and have fun!
