I just heard the new Devore Fidelity 3XL's without a sub-based system. When I first heard them, I was having a tough time reconciling their small size with the way they were so easily filling the room with sound, a room much larger than 15' x 18'. They offered a stunning musical presentation that had some of the "real musical experience" that I have only previously experienced with the Shindo Latour's. Weighty highs, punchy transient impact, and excellent microdynamics were flooding the room with glorious sound. These 2-ways use the same tweeter as the Devore Silverbacks and a completely new and incredible mid-range/woofer. The enclosures are made of beautiful bamboo. I can't imagine any woman not loving the way these look and sound. If you audition them, you might want to try them first without a sub; they sound like they go quite a bit lower than the specs.
