Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?

"Genjamon: Also, it's true the Maggie's would be a hard load."

The Magie 3.7 is from what I have found out is very similar to the impedance of the 3.6. That is it's a benign 4ohm load, that even a good reciever will drive.

From Absolute Sounds:
"The speaker’s impedance is 4 ohms. Its load is essentially a resistive one; therefore, driving it doesn’t pose the loading problems"

We still stand by our opinion that it's a stellar performer, playing well above its price point.

Value is good but ultimate performance is more important.

It's one reviewers opinion, and only that.

Agree! Never make purchasing decision based on a professional or amateur review.

I would never expect the Job to drive Magnepan speakers

This is why I'm surprise it can drive a TAD CR-1.

Hi,

I'm using the JOB to power Devore Nines and it is the most dynamic and best bass that I have heard from these speakers! Great soundstaging and imaging as well. I can imagine that paired with the Orangutans, these qualities would be even greater given that the O's are much more efficient.

Also, I am using bananas on the amp, without any problems. Because of some space constraints and that my speaker cables are a bit stiff, bananas fit better.

I believe the Devore speakers sound amazing with the Job 225. It's a combo that I need to hear. I never would have thought my TAD CR-1's would work well, but I have to admit they sound superb with the Job. I am not one to play very loud and don't really push any of my amps. The Job is in my top 3 with only a Dartzeel 108 and CJ ART amps bettering it. I feel that strongly about the Job.

Hardly supprising, as most of the Devor range are very easy loads, that remains at or above 8ohms, and don't tax the amps at all, easily driven by 9 watts so Jazz Times say

From Stereo living:
"The Nines are among our best selling products. Needless to say they sound great but beyond that they are easily driven by any tube amplifier in our store. They will sound wonderful with an entry level tube integrated"

From Jazz Times:
"I had to call DeVore to tell him that these were the most outstanding speakers I’d ever heard in my home, a judgment made while listening with a modest nine-watt amplifier."
