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,

May I add another speaker you should consider. the Living Voice speaker line very good deals to be made due to the low UK $. I heard the set i bought (the Avatar 2's mid range of the line) beside the 0/96's and i felt the LV's were faster, more detailed and more musical then the  0/96, The 0/96 did have deeper base slightly but its base was not as fast. Mid range of the 0/96 was great but I felt the 2 smaller drivers in the LV speaker to be faster and more alive.  sound stage was about the same for both very good over all with the LV being slightly more focused with but less over all dispersion width. 


I've not hear the Volti
