To the question "Do O-93s rock?" the answer is a resounding Yes! Like many in this forum, my musical interests range from classic jazz to emo-adjacent punk rock, with stops at classic and new rock along the way. I've found the O-93 to be a great speaker for all these styles of music. As others point out, choice of components matter (I've found good harmony with a Leben amp and Anti-Cable interconnects) as does room size (mine is a medium-sized room above my garage that doubles as a listening room/office). In terms of placement, I've found the O-93s need some breathing room, mine are 36" from the back wall, 15" from the side walls.
Devore O 93
I have been looking for speakers and must admit in my search have not listened to much rock and roll when auditioning speakers. I am not sure why but haven't brought some of the music I often listen to at home; probably because so many of the early recordings ( particularly Rolling Stones, early Elvis Costello) are not particularly good. So in my oversight I don't really know what the O93 sound like playing the likes of the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, early Elvis Costello etc. Has anyone played the above on the O 93?
