Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers


Just picked up a used pair of Devore O/96 and am awaiting delivery. Still have a pair of McIntosh MC501s (500W) and a pair of Quicksilver V4s (170W) that I used with my previous speakers.

Before I sell the amplifiers for something with less power, I plan to at least try them with the O/96s.

What can I expect to hear? What issues might I encounter?

I can confirm that the McIntosh MC501 and the Quicksilver V4 (w/ KT150) both sound excellent.  As expected, the QS is more musical and lush, and the Mc shows more bass kick.  What made the biggest impact was experimenting with room placement.  Finally taking the time to dial in the 0/96 was worth the time and effort.
