The T&F Pharoah seems like more of a comparison to the Devore 0/93 than the Art or Ella. I can't speak for the Devores except to say they have gotten some very positive reactions by reviewers. I do own the Pharoahs and I think they are very well-balanced, not forward sounding and sound good in a smaller space. I'm driving them with an 18 watt SET, so I would think your amplification might make them sound somewhat different. I've owned these speakers for a couple of years and I'm very pleased with them sonically.
Trenner & Friedle ART/Ella or Devore 9 or O/93?
I've read much about both; I've heard TF ARTS and the Devores; I like both quite a bit. I'll have to wait until they show up used here on Agon (which isn't that often, I realize - and yes, I know at the time of this posting there's a pair of Ellas up for sale), but what opinions or feedback/impressions could you give for each?
I'm using an LSA Statement integrated with Reference 3A de Capo BE monitors as my current set-up. Small listening room. Mostly folk, jazz, and singer-songwriter, with occasional forays into good, melodic rock.
