| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers The Atma-Sphere OTL is a good suggestion. I've read that they are a good match with O/96. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers All good points. Part of my speaker choice was to go an entirely different direction and try some designs I’ve only read about. Switching one component at a time results in some mismatches along the way. Bass isn’t the priority, I just noticed a r... | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers The Devore O/96 arrived and are now set up exactly where the previous speakers were. First impressions indicate there is work to do with placement. I was expecting strong bass, especially with the high powered amps; however, this is not the case... | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers I appreciate the detailed description and experience with various amps. I'm surprised to hear that Pass XA60.8 didn't impress. Leben seems an interesting choice too. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers It is no surprise that I'm interested in exploring SET tube amplifiers. It will be difficult to justify keeping all these amplifiers around. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers It seems clear that there is little risk in pairing with a high powered amplifier, provided that I don't overdrive the speakers. At the same time, I may be surprised by the sound quality, especially the low end impact. Has anyone else tried a... | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers Great points; I am encouraged. If there is hum, I'll notice it right away. My preamplifier has a gain reduction switch, so that may come in handy. | |

| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? I recommend the Lamm LL2.1 | |
| Decline or accept upon receipt of damaged gear If the amplifier arrived in the original manufacturer’s shipping boxes (as advertised in the posting), I’d have accepted the delivery. | |
| Decline or accept upon receipt of damaged gear I chose to refuse the shipment and cancel the payment. The seller was critical that I did not first accept the package and then contact him to arrange a return. | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? Yes, Quicksilver amplifiers are that good. I'm currently listening with Quicksilver V4, and over the years have owned Quicksilver mini-mono, Quicksilver mid-mono, VTL ST150, VTL MB100, and Manley Labs 75+75. | |

| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Still no examples of quicksilver amplifiers with Wilson Sophia? I would have expected these fairly common brands to cross paths at some point. Still working my mid monos whilst I save up for the Silver 88s! | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Just picked up a pair of mid monos and they seem to work well with the Sophias. Haven't yet had a chance to A/B/C the MiniMites, the MidMonos and the VTL ST150, but that'll be happening real soon. So far MidMonos aren't shy with detail, dynamics o... |
