DeVore O/96 Unboxing


I’m not a sushi freak. I like it but I’m not the connoisseur guy that sits at the counter and just lets the chef create what he wants to serve me. 

Opening my speakers was quite a nervous reveal. I knew that hand curated, walnut finish baffles is a DeVore variable that just is what it is. I had to trust that the master chef had created a beautiful and delicious meal for me. He did. And my wife approves too. Whew. 

Working on pic uploads…..

Ditto mwood's experience.  I've had mine since 2019 and listen to them at least a couple hours a day on average.  They are revealing of everything in your system, so you might be starting something...

Congratulations on the new speakers! But doesn’t one speaker less than a foot from a window/wall and one with what looks like a lot of open space on that side significantly mess with the image and soundstage ? 

@ronboco Yes. It’s not ideal. I have limited options with the room as is. For critical listening I cover the windows with (3) 2’x3’ acoustic panels and put up a 5’ gobo studio panel on the kitchen side to block first reflections off the right speaker. I’m loosely considering rotating the room 90° to use the long wall as the front wall. The GIK panels I already have up helped a lot but there’s always room for more. 

Couldn’t hurt to rotate just to see. Or you could tell your significant other those speakers deserve a dedicated room!! Good luck and enjoy !
