Devore 093 compared to o96

I have the o93, and with my Thoress amps I haven’t heard anything better. But I’m wondering as we do in this hobby.

who has upgraded from the o93 to the o96 and what were your findings?

I'm running mine with Thoress 845 and Thoress ff preamp.

thanks for your info and time.

Scott

I prefer the O/96 and now in my 7th year with these speakers. However 0/93 speakers are much easier to get right, easier to place, easier to find amp match etc, easier with room sizes. O/96 is more finicky, it took me a long long time to find the right room/amp/placing for these speakers (years...). But they are worth it and are IMHO end-game speakers unless you have stupid-money for uber-speakers (and they might still not necessarily beat the O/96). I am very curious to hear from people who have upgraded from O/96 to O/Bronze or the limited edition O Twenties, but guess it's still early days.

I'm currently demoing both speakers and seem to prefer the 96, but at double the price I feel like I could be more than content with the 93's.
