devore fidelity gibbon nines ,need good amplificat

These were designed for tubes. Suggest contacting DeVore for some ideas, but here's what I know.

Just heard these w/Manley Snappers, Manley Stingray, and Dehavilland Aries 845G. They don't need much power, and will let you the differences of various output tubes. If you don't have a feel for how a SET type amp like the Dehavilland sounds vs. the sound of a push pull EL34 or KT88 type amp, you really should listen to some before you decide. FWIW, the clarity of the little EL84-based Stingray was a better match IMHO than the Snappers. The Aries 845G blew them both out of the water. (I bought these amps)

A tube preamp is probably a better match, too.

What is your budget and what did YOU think of the 3 amps you heard? What are your priorities? Cheers,
Spencer

I believe John Devore likes to demo these with Shindo gear at the shows. If you like the Leben, you'll probably like Shindo even more.

I don't know if this would apply to the Nine's, as well, but when I asked John DeVore for a recommendation for an amp for the Devore 8's he suggested a Leben.

I heard these speakers with the Leben cs600 and the combination sounded beautiful, powerful, detailed and delicious.

when i heard the speakers with carysli80 -the sound was clear but very thin the bass very soft but its musically sound. with the nuforce+pre ear834 -the sound was diffrent more bass agood control on the speakers i think its bcz the dampactor is 4000 and sound was sharp and correct u can know when its strart and when its ended the instrument.
the bass was impresive and correct. good power on the speakers.
the lebencs600- was less correct but the sound of the singer was vocaly and impressive the bass was soft and hot but not correct like tubes do to speakers,the stage was big deep .
but my problem is i heared for only 2 hours and i think that if i need to choce one amplifier its depended on my mood for example if i wanna hear pink floyd the wall the sound was good with the nuforce and if i wanna hear dire straits the vocal sound was amazing with the leben. but the cary sli80 was not this and not this was more thiny
so people what to do ??
in israel we dont have all company representation like the great shindo that john devore use . people what u think on nuforce 9 monoblocks +pre ear834
can u give me recommendition to good company or to stay with my coorect amplificat :power advance aqoustic maa406+pre xindak3200. and the last think i have suggest to hear pre-manly shrimp +power manly mahi
??? my budget is 2500-5000 k$
