DeVore Orangutan O/96


The original Orangutan thread appears to have been deleted, so I'll re-start it. Did anyone hear them at In Living Stereo earlier this month? Any initial thoughts or comparisons you can offer? I'm anxious to hear them myself, but don't plan on being in the NYC area anytime soon...

Dalercrommie and All,

There are other dealers for Devore products. You can find them here:

DeVore Fidelity Dealers

I just ended up working with Matt because I bought Leben and Shindo products.
Here's a review of the Orangutans:

Here's an alternative blog entry. I'm trying both blogger and Wordpress out, and may ultimately chose one over the other. In any event, here's the Wordpress version. And for now I'll keep them updated as best as I can.

A Rumble in the Jungle; Orangutan style
FWIW, everyone I've updated this review with a few photos.

Getting lost in analogue

Dalecrommie,

As a side note, I'm not sure what your 2 additional posts here are referring to, or if they're intended to be a constructive criticism of my post. In any event, I've had these speakers for almost 3 months, and I've run them through everything imaginable. I do think they're great, and I stand by my recommendation for people to check them out. Another I'd serious look at is the Tannoy Canterbury.

Still, at this level I think someone looking should consider them. But it's also worth noting that DeVore designed these speakers to work with high impedance, low wattage amps. The Os are set for 10 Ohms. So they're not ideal for everyone's system.

Regardless, happy musical listening to one and all!
