Devores and Omegas - input please

Thought I would poll the group here... I am reading up on higher sensitvity speakers once again (I have taken many a trip to these grounds over the years, but always deterred by trip’s end due to what I perceived as horn-like or paper cone type distortions and proportionally weak bass), and would like to solicit input from happy owners of better Devore (0/93 or 0/96) and Omega speakers... these are of course known to be with higher sensitivity and higher/benign impedance (and decent 'accuracy'!), thus well matched for sweet lower powered tube amps...

Comments and comparisons would be especially welcome to other well known, well regarded, leading speaker makes known for their natural sound such as Harbeth, ProAc, Vandersteen, etc etc.

Thank you.

I prefer the regular Alnico than the new high output two drivers, the regular alnico are more articulate and easy to listen for my taste.

Both brand are excellent, I heard Devore speakers at Axpona maybe 3yrs ago.i don’t remember the model,  What I remember they are indeed very refine good live sounding speakers, For my taste they are not for me.I do own Omega speakers the rs8 in Baltic birch cabinet.This speakers for my taste ,I like them , it’s the musicality of omega speakers that grabs me, the alnico are even better and palpable, Lois makes good musical speakers.Cant underestimates this brand for Lois know what he is doing.

Charles whatever gear you connect to them , that’s exactly you will hear. Yes the timbre and tone of the instruments on tubes are so naturally balance.When I first heard from Markr1 system, I was shocked how good and naturally balance,are the alnico. I went home I can’t listen to my Andra speakers set up.Omegas thought me. Musicality and palpabilty.
