I auditioned the Duevel Planets .


I currently own the Duevel Venus speakers driven by a Sophia Electric kt 88 in a 21x18 room. I was considering downsizing and in speaking with Ted, at High End Audio he suggested the Planets.

Ted brought a pair over as I live about 35 miles from him and set them up. No they are not as good as the Venus but for $1195 they are pretty amazing. Very open and detailed with surprising bass for their size.

If you are considering an omni speaker I strongly suggest you give these a listen. I had heard them on solid state at Ted's place and tubes at my place. They really like tubes in my opinion.

On a side note Ted moved my Venus speakers a few inches out and in and wow. I think I'm going to keep them for now.
I am not affiliated with High End Audio but wanted to mention a really nice speaker for the money and an excellent dealer.

I looked into the planets but had to exclude them cause they are only rated at 50 watts RMS. My Bryston amp is about 150 watts per channel so I think my amp would fry them. Anyone hook these up to a good amp and play them loud?
"the bryston will drive them fine"

I know it will drive them but will it blow them up :). How do these compare with the Gallo Reference 3.1's?
