What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?

I think the Devore O-93 and O-96 speakers are both overpriced.  They have become the darlings of Stereophile  light weights, Herb Reichert, Art Dudley.and  the phased-out Sam Tellig, and other camp followers and "over-enthusiasts"

I also question how this guy drop onto the audio scene, (what) about 10-15 years ago. and still cannot justify his pricing or clarify his design philosophy.  He also assembles his speakers in a warehouse at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  What no anechoic chamber?? or computer modeling technology??  He surely is not offering a "people's speaker" like the above cited models at $8400  and $12,000 in his "cottage industry" warehouse 

His use of exotic materials like bamboo wood for speaker cabinets does not demonstrate design genius, but possibly, problems. with cabinet material suppliers 

BTW,  several years ago, and documented by blowhard Sam Tellig when he worked for Stereophile,  Art Dudley and Sam were invited by Devore for an evening  "brandy and cigars" listening session  Such chummy pow-wows somehow make me less likely to become another "true believer" in Devore's speakers,or his alleged design genius  

donvito,   Why don't you have a nice sit-down with don chicci.  It seems like you believe everything you read in the audio press

BTW,  I am not bitter  but very good at seeing though the BS of speaker manufacturers.   

sfar,  I am happy for you; but I have a right to my opinion.  If you have the money to afford Devore's $12,000. O-93 and 0-96    God bless and good luck.

There are better speakers out there for half the price

To Keithr,  I am not demeaning Devore as a person or speaker designer I would say almost the same thing and ask the same question about pricing about the $14,999 Harbeth's 40.2 speakers designed by Alan Shaw and touted as his "Masterpiece" by  the TAS  review in January, 2017 issue.  Or that matter, the Magico S1 MK II reviewed this month in Stereophile which sells for a cool $16,500, the YG Carmel Mk II retailing for $24,999 ( I heard the first version at the retail  $18000 and was very impressed, but not enough to buy them even at half the price) and  also several models from Wilson Audio over the last 15 years.

I am NOT campaigning for a line titled the "People's Speakers"  Maybe, the current line of  Elac speakers designed by Andrew Jones is it. However, I am just questioning the price versus performance ratio.  I don't think manufacturer's should get "carte blanche" when it comes to pricing their speakers, or for that matter any other audio components.

To answer one responder's question at my comment about speakers that  cost half the price of the Devore's O-96,. or more specially the lower priced )  0-93  speaker. I owned a used pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios for 6 years. They retailed at $4500, not including the outrigger stands ($220) which the buyer threw in to close the sale. I paid $1850 plus $550 shipping to Honolulu, Hawaii. from Wisconsin.  They were amazing from A to Z (no pun intended) clean,. detailed, with volcanic dynamics, and tight bass to at least to 37Hz.  My only complaint o them, they could be a bit edgy, but not fatiguing, and  they weighed 78 lbs each. Not easy to move around for a progressively aging back. I decided to sell  them when I returned to southern California. I could not find a buyer in  the Islands. I bought then unheard, but read several positive reviews about their performance.  They are the best sounding speakers I owned so far,. and grossly underrated by many reviewers and  a mix of internet audio bloggers

BTW, I heard the Devore's Gibbon 8 when they first came on the market.  The AZ Adagios blow them away from top to bottom..   SJ
