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

@lemonhaze i picked up the Komuro 8w upon auditioning in store with their O96 Bronzes. Whatever shortfalls the Devores have, this amp minimizes them. Heard the Komuro after listening to Nagra classic amp and pre, and it made the Nagras  sound lean and harsh by comparison. 

@audition__audio I appreciate your input. The Komuro was built for the O96 model and variants. It’s delivered with the higher ohm taps installed and it’s tuned for the O96. It was surprising how much command the 8 watts has over these speakers.

So while I’m sure it’s fun and satisfying to make universal proclamations about what amps will work or what the speakers are capable of based on your own anecdotal experience, I don’t find those proclamations helpful or inherently true partly because of the tone and attitude with which they are delivered. Anyway, I appreciate the sharing and I will try to extract what wisdom I can from it.

@audition__audio telling people what they do and do not like in their interactions with them is the opposite of passive-aggressive. Opinions and how they are shared are different things. I think you’re tired of it because you haven’t learned how to interact and aren’t particularly interested in doing so. Blaming others for all of your interpersonal difficulties should be a non-starter. 

@fsonicsmith I lucked out. Dealer said he had an abandoned order that I could have. I didn’t even know they had been released until he auditioned one for me.
 

Linlai WE300B are the included tubes. It sounds like all 100 of the first run of the 300b amp have been sold. There is a rumor Devore might make another 10. The next series will be 845 monos but not totally sure.  The Komuro amp website has a production plan posted.
