upgrade from Devore Nines


I am driving a pair of Devore Nines, with LFd integrated amp (50w), resolution audio cantata cd/dac in a 15×18 dedicated room.

I am contemplating the super nines.  Anyone completed this speaker upgrade?  I like Devore speakers (at least what I heard).

Any other upgrades from the Nines others have taken and been happy with?

I went from the 0/93's to the Super Nines (last March) and it was well worth the upgrade! The S9's are more extended in both frequency extremes and more dynamic. Imaging is better as well. For those contemplating getting new 0'93's, I say just move up to the S9's. They are not that much more money.
They are a bit over 12' from my listening position... about the same distance (more or less) that the other speakers were placed.
I forgot to add, that I do not find them to sound "thin" at all. They are also quite a bit more dynamic sounding!
You are welcome! I heard the Perspective 2 Graphenes at an audio show and they sounded quite good...but at $15k, they are out of my price.

The Super Nines (S9's) are a definite upgrade over the 0/93's, which are an upgrade over the Nines. I have owned all of them. The S9's are a big improvement over the 0/93's in every category...better extension, imaging, etc., yet still possess that Devore tone and tactile quality.  Anyone contemplating the purchase of the 0/93's should save up a few more bucks and go for the S9's. And they will be huge upgrade over the Nines.
