upgrade from Devore Nines

@thosb I had read all the positive views on Devore and a pair come up fairly close at a stellar price.  I decided there was not a lot of risk if I needed to move again.  I have really liked the DeVore Nines.  

My friend who loves and owns Harbeths has heard both my speakers and O 93s.  He likes the O93s better than the Nines, but they are a completely different sound and presentation.  He does admit the Nines have better detail and imaging, but he like the "musicality' that comes from Harbeth and the O93s.  

I think an upgrade in the Fidelity line would allow for the same great top end, but a more pronounced bottom end.  I wouldn't say the Nines lack bass, but there are times I wish there was a little more balance top to bottom.   That might be recording, as some recording just sound amazing.  

In short I really like the Nines and think a move up would just build upon the attributes I already like.

There is no much risk here I would go for it.
I had been in a similar situation I owned the Proac studio 140mk2 and loved them but felt that I could do better with my system I considered the Proac Response D30RS but I couldn't make a demo anywhere nevertheless I decided to buy them and never regret it .It is a huge upgrade to my previous speakers.

Thanks mindlessminion that’s exactly where I seemed to be headed.  

I went from the 0/93's to the Super Nines (last March) and it was well worth the upgrade! The S9's are more extended in both frequency extremes and more dynamic. Imaging is better as well. For those contemplating getting new 0'93's, I say just move up to the S9's. They are not that much more money.

Thanks for the input grk.

The Super Nines are the last on my list of speakers I would like to hear before making my next speaker purchase (likely the Joseph Audio Perspectives), but unfortunately they are not a speaker most of us can audition.

I heard the Gibbon X with some of my music and with the fist stuff I heard I really liked it - it had that beutiful Devore tone and texture, but more refined/modern sounding than the O series. The last couple of tracks I played on the X weren’t as satisfying as I was expecting (some Talk Talk songs) - some bass bloat and the drums didn’t sound as real as through the 0/96. But much of what I heard was promising so it makes me intrigued by the Super Nines.
Though the Stereophile review of the Gibbon X which detected some leanness and a trough in the lower mids would have me a little worried (apparently an oddity in how the mids crossover to the lows).  I don't know if the Super Nine's would have the same issue, but it would seem a good hunch that they would share the same design choices.
