| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? Try the First Watt J2. The J2 is a really good amp. It's lightweight and easy to move, and sounds splendid with the Devore O/96. Yes, the XA30.8 is built like a tank and weighs nearly as much. Tremendous build quality and sound. | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? I have used the O/96 with a variety of SET amps including 300B and 845 designs with good results.

It’s an extremely musical and involving speaker which has much to offer, especially for enthusiasts of low power tube amps, SET amps, and lo... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps I've also been devoted to SET amps for years and they have many superb qualities, offering an organic, rich tone quality which can be addictive, especially with vocals and small scale recordings. I've heard the First Watt J2 with the Devore O/96 ... | |

| Help Picking a turntable VPI offers many excellent designs that will not disappoint. The Prime and Classic designs are hard to beat at their price points. | |
| Equipment Rack I'll add another recommendation for Core Audio Design racks. Extremely well made and effective, well isolated, no need for additional isolation tweaks. | |
| Ocellia vs Tannoy? The Tannoy Kensington could work very well in your room size with DHT SET amps of 8 watts or greater. These should excel at vocals and classical music, unless you play your music at extreme volumes. The dual concentric design offers exceptional im... | |
