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...

The wide front baffle invites the comparision to audio note ANe and yes they are not about pin point imaging as the ANe are not about that either. That is where the comparison ends. Since I only heard the Orangutans once I cant really draw conclusions. Plus the folks that had them told me they had not settled on this set up or placement.

They seemed to have a bit more body and weight to the sound than either the Nines which I spent considerable time with or my Ane's.

Since the Haut Brion is a robost push-pull, I would be curious what a SET would be like

They are a bit smaller than I thought they would be, and would be nice in a living room~wife approved. When I heard them they were about 3 feet from the back wall and I dont know how close one could put them to a wall. They have 3 large ports on the back of the cabinet.
