Anybody heard the DeVore Videlity Gibbon Super 8?

I only heard it in Las Vegas at, I believe, T.H.E. SHOW (show held next door to the CES tradeshow. But, even with that limited exposure, under typically less than ideal show conditions, I was quite impressed with this speaker. I personally find too many speakers to be lifeless and constipated -- lacking realistic microdynamic qualities. Many of those that try to overcome this quality have an unnaturally prominent midrange that I also don't like. The Gibbon Super 8 managed to avoid excessive midrange coloration while delivering some (not all) of the kind of liveliness and presence one associates with horn driven systems.

Given its reasonable price, I think it is a promising speaker.

don't buy any speaker without an audition

I heard them at one of the Las Vegas shows last year. The thing that really stood out in my mind was the speakers' extension at the extremes of the audio spectrum. It reminded me a bit of some of the very best car audio systems I've heard - not the typical teenage thump machines cruising the beaches, but systems that were set up to sound both exciting and musical at the same time. They stood out as being memorable in my mind. I definitely admired them for fearlessly going into the frewuency extremes that many other high end speakers seem to avoid, but somehow, the sound was not quite what I would chose for myself.
