Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's

I went from Devore Gibbon 8s to Audio Physic Virgo IIIs. Currently have Wilson Audio Sophia IIIs and plan on getting Wilson Audio Sasha's.

I have heard the devore super 8, nines, and own the silverbacks. At each step, the bass weight provides an improvement. I was originally on the fence about the nines vs. the silverbacks but I am glad that I went with the no regrets line of reasoning because that is exactly how it has worked out. Not knowing your musical preferences and other system components it may be difficult to give you good advice. If you like the devore sound it would be worth checking further up the line including the new O/96 (i haven't heard it yet) and I noticed on Devore's web-site that there is something new being unveiled in January.

one of the few speakers that listeners seem to love as much as Devore is Merlin.

Maybe set up an audition?

with the BAM bass extension they may suit your needs.

While I didn't have the Super 8 speakers, I did have the Gibbon 8 speakers in my system for about 6 months. I found the bass considerably lacking and ended up putting a Paradigm sub into the mix. It took me 2 months of tweaking it to get the sub to blend seemlessly with the DeVore speakers, but the DeVores never threw out the big kind of sound that I had gotten from my previously owned Vandersteen speakers.

I sold the DeVore speakers and Paradigm sub for a slight loss and took delivery of a pair of Odyssey Kismet reference speakers. The speakers have exceeded ALL of my expectations and they will remain in my system for many years to come.
