| Anyone Tried Bybee's "Quantum Clarifier"'s Inside Your Speakers? You might want to ask a certain Tekton-owning member. If he can possibly fit any more tweaks in to his room ;-) | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 FWIW...I heard the Devore O series speakers on about 4 different amps.2 that I can remember are the Leben (CS300 I believe) commonly paired with the O series. And Nagra (classic integrated...I think). I believe one of the other tube amps was a... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 arafiqThat's great that you got an audition of the O96. They aren't easy to find for auditioning.That's why asking other opinions only goes so far.I did note a liveliness/forwardness in the O sound (as mentioned in my own thread) but didn't perso... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Dr. Floyd Toole has also argued that, while room effects are an important part of the equation, especially from a certain frequency downward (I'm forgetting the exact numbers), the influence of the room has been overblown by many people. He has... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 atmasphere,Yes and no...IMO.I find that speakers have a character that generally carries through associated equipment, at least so long as there isn't some ridiculous miss-matched pairing (e.g. a flea watt amp hooked up to MBLs trying to play loud... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Sorry, didn't mean to divert you from Harbeth/Devores :-)Yes the Joseph Audio Perspectives that I own are around the price of the O/96. Though you can also get the stand mounted Pulsar which go essentially as low as the SuperHL5+, and the Pulsar... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 From my written notes on that day - O’96s throw a wide soundstage, very dynamic. You can feel the instruments, the drums, the bass thumping. These speakers put out a ton of energy but unfortunately this wall of sound is VERY fatiguing and very for... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 My one regret was never getting to hear the O/96 in my own home (whereas I did get a home audition of the Joseph speakers). The O/96 were a wild card for me as to whether their bass would overwhelm (probably not - no other speaker has) but more i... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 I owned the Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers and I had a number of serious auditions of the Devore O speakers to decide if I would buy them.I absolutely loved the Devore O/96 speakers! I also love Harbeth speakers because both give more richness and ... | |
| Are my standards too high? As someone else said: I think you need to find a new hobby. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Yeah, that's why I've wanted to hear the updated classic line.I was super impressed upon hearing Spendor D9s at a show. That was one reason why the 7's I auditioned on two occasions (and some A line speakers) were so disappointing. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers In no way would I dissuade you from the Spendors. (I have Spendor S3/5s and love them!)But I did not find the Spendor D7 a suitable substitute for the Joseph speakers to my ear. (And I heard them with Sim audio!). Not at all on the same level. ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I really enjoy having more than one pair of speakers that turn my crank.Months ago I put the Thiel 2.7s back in to the system - they did that dense, punchy, lush sound, more filled out from top to bottom. I enjoyed the sound so much the Thiels sta... | |
| New Boenicke Audio W11 SE Speaker Review // A New Reference !? I've been very intrigued by the Boenicke speakers both because I love their design and on the basis of reviews and user reports. They are actually disparaged somewhat among those who favor classically good measurements, and they are beasts to dr... | |
| Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner I am forced somewhat in to a fairly close listening distance - between 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 feet from the listening position. (Currently at 7 feet).So maintaining coherence at a close seating difference is paramount in my speaker choices. My Thiels d... |
