Hi Jcote,I am also considering the Shindo Cortese an as amplifier for the Nines. Tell me, in your opinion do they have enough power for rock music? I have read about other people pairing Shindo preamps with the Cortese amp driving the Nines, and a...

Well, after a long post praising the qualities of the Grand Veenas, I made my decision and put some money down on a pair of Devore Nines. We'll see how they do. I will report back with my impressions. Anyone else who has had the opportunity to hea...

Well, let me start by saying the Grand Veenas are one of the few hi-end speakers I've had the privilege to spend some time with. As always, I listened to the system which was all Mac tube based gear. The GVs, to me, did everything right tonally an...

Hi Jcote,Thanks for your response. I've been trying to find a way to send you a private message about how much you may want for the Nines.

Hi Rebbi,Thanks for your response, that does help. What kind of space do you have your Dulcets in?If the Grand Veena was 91db into 8ohms, I would not be so concerned about driving it with low powered tube gear. But, it is 91db into 5ohms, which is...

I guess I'm the opposite. The Grand Veenas were my first exposure to hifi and they were the best I've ever heard. I've heard a few other system that had Harbeth SHL5 (very nice), Audio Note, Paradigm. Now, I've never heard the Nines but I know a g...

Hi Rebbi,Thanks for the response. I think I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on the Grand Veenas now, but it would be good to speak to Tash. I've read the he recommends turning the rear spikes to move the speaker down in a vertical directio... 
Harbeth SHL5 for Shindo Montille?
Hello,I actually had the opportunity to A/B the Harbeth Super HL5 with the Leben CS300XS and a Shindo Vosnee Romanee and Montille pre/amp combo. No question, the Leben was the superior amplifier. The dealer thought so as well. There is a certain s...

Has anyone tried the Grand Veena with Leben amplifiers, particularly the CS300XS or the CS600? I'm very happy to see that Lacee is reporting good results with the DecWare 2 watt SET amp. The Leben CS300XS is 15 watts and the CS600 is between 24-32...

I can tell you with that these are the finest speakers I've heard. I had the opportunity to listen to them at Front Row Center in Pompano Beach, FL. I first listened to them in a dedicated room with proper acoustic treatment and I can tell you tha...
