My first post, need some opinions about speakers


Hi - This is my first post. I'm in the process of selecting new speakers for my system. I have narrowed my choice down to:

A. Devore Nines, which I have listened to several times and like very much.

B. A pair of speakers built by a friend that have Feastrex D5nf drivers and a Feastrex passive ratiator. I have heard these too, and also enjoy them very much.

I have a Shindo tube amp and tube preamp, and a 47 Labs Flatfish CD player. I listen primarily to blues and jazz, and also some heavier rock.

I am sure I would be happy with either pair, but I would welcome any impressions or opinions you have.

Thank you

I would move your friends speakers into your listening room for a month. Then decide.

If it were me, I would get the Nines. I lived with the Super 8s for a year and a half and loved them. If I were able to home the demo the Silverbacks I suspect I would be listening to them right now instead of my VA POs, but then again.....
