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

Ze'ev of Pure  Audio Project used a Pass Class A integrated (The INT25) with the Duet 15 to excellent effect.  I think the extra watts (up to 80 at 4 ohms) were used well by the PAP speakers.  

I have no reservations with recommending the Duet 15 and the Pass Labs XA25.  Superb sound.

Are PAPs more difficult to place in the room than DeVores?

Have a look at Coherent Audio from Ontario Canada.  I have the 15s paired with a 45 Tube Amp and a 20 watt Class A amp.  Both with very good results.

I own a pair of DeVore O/93’s and can strongly recommend them. I’ve yet to hear the “what they got wrong” part of them… However, you rarely see them on the used market and there are plenty of reasons for that. As for the, “narrow baffles, more inert cabinet construction” speaker, there’s nothing wrong with that design either. With that said, you can always take your pick of the litter, because there are plenty of them out there on the used market to grab. Good luck and have fun.
