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...

This is a great sentence, possible only in an audio forum, but imagine it spoken by Richard Attenborough in a BBC jungle documentary--the orange-haired primates have just discovered a cache of Premier Cru French wine, and have gone rapturously berserk after drinking it...Sorry, back to the matter at hand....
Been in ILS several times the size is about 20x14??? They have the system set up along the long wall so the listener is 7-10 ft. away from the speakers.

Knott, lol!!

Cfluxa, Great posts and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
The only thing about Verity's is that I don't believe
they are quite as efficient as Gibbon's or Silverback's.
The Verity's are a little more difficult to drive, based on their impedance. Obviously, many of the newer Verity's do have similar or higher efficiency ratings than Gibbons or S/B's. Certainly, while most Verity's and DeVore's are comparable efficiency wise, the 0/96's open up more
options.
