| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers acknowledged, jkorten.I didn't find the O/96s to be "perfect" in the audition I had.In some string quartet pieces, where the strings took turns slowly ascending to very high notes, I detected a lack of coherence sense of a "hand off" to tweeter - ... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) @duckworpI've been very curious about the Boenick speakers. Can you describe their sound? | |

| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks for the comments and suggestions!patrick, I appreciate the recommendation. As it happens the Ariel house sound and aesthetic has never grabbed me. whoopycat, that's informative about the /93s. I'm curious how the 93s or 96s would work in... | |
| Full-Range to Monitors My room is relatively small - 13' wide by 15' deep at it's deepest. Yet I've never had much trouble getting great sound from large speakers. I suspect this is likely due to the room not being square - the symmetry broken by large bay windows - an... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers br3098I guess I should have put it in the first post, but I mentioned it later: I use the Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube mono blocks, 140W/side. It's one of the last CJ products that still had their "old school" sound. But the special thing about... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Hey, I forgot to list another speaker I auditioned:KharmaBack in the day when they became something of the new rage among well heeled audiophiles, I'd heard several models, including in one gentelman's super high end set up. They impressed me wit... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I just noticed another "dream speaker" of mine up for sale on Audiogon: a pair of Audio Physic Avantara, in ebony. I say "dream speaker" because I’ve always liked AP speakers and the Avantara got fantastic reviews as chomping at the heels of the b... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'd definitely be using the Devores, or the Josephs, with my tube amps - Conrad Johnson Premier 12 140w/side monoblocks. Still goin' strong!They've been able to drive every speaker I've thrown at them.Both Josephs and Devores are touted as tube-f... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers fsonicsmith,I'm also going to check out the Devore 93s as a dealer just got those in.They would be more affordable, and take up even less space. Though I'm not as sold on the looks as I am on the 96s.Devore was indeed a recent discovery for me, a... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @kdude66 Thanks for the input.The Gibbon X would be to large, and too expensive.@roberjerman,LOL. I'll definitely cop to bouts of A-neurosis! Though to be fair to myself, it tends to center around speakers only. Most of my gear is old (amps, c... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers mtrot,Thanks!Yes the Magico A3 is is the ONE other speaker still on my list, for obvious reasons. But I’m trying to resist. It’s a great price and in some ways a suitable size...but hard to hear (though I could drive across the border to hear them... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Devore Fidelity O/96 SpeakersI was able to listen to these twice over the past few weeks.I found them to be terrific in the ways most people think they are terrific.They definitely have an "it" factor to their sound, their own thing that, if it gr... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Most audiophiles are into first reflections, but try throwing some blankets around. :) On that subject...I enjoy playing with acoustics, generally speaking. Always have. I remember in my late teens taking some really cheap small speakers and loadi... | |
