Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals


Hi:

I am in the market for a pair of high-efficiency speakers. I will be driving them with Line Magnetic LM508ia integrated amp. Both 0/96 and Rivals happen to be Stereophile A-rated and around the same price. Can someone chime in with their personal experiences or opinion regarding this? 

thanks,

What are some of the reasons why you are considering these two speakers (other than being listed on Stereophile)?

I demo'd the O/96s(with Line Magnetic components) and had the Volti Audio Rivals in my own system for a proper evaluation. Both are very good and enjoyable speakers...I can't see you going wrong with either, unless you have some very specific needs / preferences, which is the reason for the question above.
The O/96s are significantly higher than the Volti Rivals (list prices for each), unless you are going with a very custom finish for the Rivals.
