Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc

I agree with you on the DeVore Orang. series. Havent heard his other line enough to comment. Not impressed with Tekton and havent heard the GR stuff.

Never heard a Devore that didn't sound goofy/lackluster....

Lower powered tube guys don't have very many great choices for speakers.

Try the GR Research Bully (approx $6000) with that Luxman or some Tekton monitor that was designed with tubes in mind (talk to Eric Alexander).

Any thoughts about the LX-380? A quad of 6L6GC I would think k be great with the devores. 

Agreed

Yeah I have only heard the older Leben gear, but remember thinking it sounded good. Of course the real test is having it your home which I have not.

@audition__audio  I heard them with a Leben CS600X and the sound was a little lean and very clean. Good to know though.

Rich is precisely the problem I think. Pair them with a rich sounding tube amp and you have an overabundance of rich. The Atma-sphere leaned them out and made them sound more real and less colored. 

I heard these speakers at Aural HiFi in Denver, not sure what tube amp it was paired with but wow what full rich sound.  My wife wouldn't let me buy them.

The best I have heard the Devore 0/96s sound was with a 60 wpc Atma-sphere OTLs. My friend owned a pair for a few years. Another friend had the 0/93s for a few years that also worked well with the Atmas. To my ears and with the right speakers OTLs are my favorites. 

@jond  thanks that is very helpful. Appreciated.

Not this but I did hear the Luxman 300B amp with the Devore Reference speakers sounding fantastic at CAF in maybe 2019. Also a friend owned the 0/96s and used them with a Shindo Montrachet EL34 amp which is the same about the same wpc as the Luxman and it did great. Kind of triangulating around your answer sorry I'm sure others will chime in.
