Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's

A new model above the Nines? Looking forward to hearing more about it. Although the Nines are amazing enough in my room, why would I want more, right? Downright spectacular speakers. They have a snap and vibrancy that I haven't really heard elsewhere -- and can't believe I muddled along for years without it.

To quote John DeVore-the new 88's are "replacing the Super 8". This means,typically,that a slew of Super 8's will be turning up on the 'gon in coming months. Coupled with a nice subwoofer,a used pair might make for a great-sounding(and economical) purchase for a first time Devore-ite. Hmmm....

LOL! one of the best quotes in a thresd....ever.
Thanks for the leads also. Lamm would be nice, but probably out of the Super 8's league...but point well taken.

Sure, LAMM would outclass them so perhaps it would be too much and too expensive.
But..
Speakers are "female" and amps are "male" and as such..
Well, I better stop right here.

I would give the Nola Contenders a listen. I auditioned the DeVores 8s,9s and the 3xl but they just didn't do it for me.I audition the Nola Boxer and was pretty much blow away. Bought the Contenders just waited for them now. They just seemed to have something the deVores lacked....and i wanted to love the DeVores. Best of luck in your hunt.
