Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara

Hello -
I am looking into getting a different pair of speakers then my Spendor S6e. Looking for a different presentation(more open, more detail and a bit more bass) then what I am getting with the Spendors.

Does anybody have any experience with the Veena, Gibbon8 or the new Audio P. Yara Superior?

I use a tubed Pre-amp, with a solid State Classe CA-101 Amp.

Thanks!

You should really listen to the Harbeth's SH5's. I owned them for two years and they are the most musical speaker in their price range I have ever heard. Very easy to drive, sounds great with tubes & SS. They don't go real deep but they just sound right. I went from a $10,000 electrostatic to the Harbeth and both were enjoyable. It sounds like you are looking more for a floor standing speaker but I would seek out Harbeth's before you purchase.
PS - the reviews on harbeth's are outstanding.

Ridecycling, thanks for the information and advice. I believe I have this pretty much narrowed down now to the Devore Super 8 and either a Joseph RM22,25 MKII or the new XL models. Just have to save up a little more $$ to get a worthwhile upgrade from my S6e's.
It is kind of hard to find recent reviews info on the Josephs floorstanders

Bobheinatz, Yep I have heard the Harbeth's before. I believe it was the HL5 at dealer in Sarasota FL., and I agree they are great sounding speaker, but stand mounts are not on the Wife approval list....

I don't know much about the Joseph Audio's, but the Super 8's are right up there with the best of anything - let's put it this way, virtually every reviewer who initially reviewed the Supers ended up buying them - the is pretty unprecedented. Plus based on what I have heard, John (Devore) is a pretty damn nice guy! (:
