Which To Choose...Devore Fidelity O/93 vs Zu Soul Supreme ?

Thinking about purchasing a pair of one of these speakers.  I don't have the opportunity to listen to them in person but would be interested in your thoughts...especially if you have heard or owned one or the other or both.  All constructive comments welcome....thanks.

Herb Reichert loves the DeVore O93/XA25 combo.
Not to digress for no good reason, but Herb imho has gone off the deep edge. He has no criticism of anything that makes him smile. He loves the audio equivalents of Norman Rockwell paintings. A critic's job is more than being a fan-boy of whatever passes his way.

Yeah, what Whoopycat said.  But, you may never know if the Devores are better if you keep the Zu's......Cant go wrong.

@fsonicsmith They all do that. However, his review compares driving the Pass amp with a bunch of speakers including Quad ESLs and makes a good read.
I would not use the DeVores as they may be too polite with Pass amps.

Just curious why you expect this would be the case.  The XA25 should actually match very well with this easy to drive speaker.

Whoopycat nailed it as stated above I'll also add Sean Casey from Zu often uses Pass amps at audio shows and they make a nice combo.
