| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers jsm71,I'll consider your advice!Btw, never believe an audiophile who says he is "done" until he's under the ground ;-)fsonicsmith,I sure appreciate it. At one point I reviewed speakers for a short while for an on-line audio publication, but that ... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania,Just wanted to say: Thanks very much for all the work you are doing and letting us know the results. Much appreciated! | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers To my surprise, I also listened to the Devore Gibbon X speakers today!The dealer had them, newly in, set up and ready to play. You know how dealers love to upsell :-)I told him the X’s are beyond what I’m looking to spend, but since they were set ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers A BIT MORE TO REPORT TODAY:The Devore dealer got in the smaller O/93s last week. Burned them in (I’m pretty skeptical of equipment burn in, but whatever...) and then I listened to them today.First impressions visually:They are nice looking, nice f... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers jsm71,Thanks for your input.As I've mentioned before, JansZen is one of the speakers I've been very curious about, and read all the reviews. But no local dealers. I know I could buy them - I think they have a 30 day return policy? - but I'm not ... | |
| Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review Among a big list of speakers I've auditioned in the last couple years, I auditioned the Personas. I found them very clear, but I did find myself fatiguing from the sound after a while. That's one of the main things that gave me pause about them... | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! ^^Lol! | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! soundings,As has been already pointed out, your suggestion is inherently flawed.Switching to one speaker only lowers the volume and in any case changes the acoustic relationship with the listeners. It says nothing at all about "speakers being with... | |
| Yesteryears' expensive speakers compared to modern moderately expensive speakers Well, I have Thiel 3.7s, a 10 year old design at this point which go for around 5K used, and I've been having a hell of a time finding any current speakers under 15K (and even higher) to replace them. I keep coming home from auditions thinking "w... | |
| 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... |
