DeVore Orangutan O/96

Too bad they wouldn't let the local dealer carry them. I bought a pair of Super 8's from him a few years ago and he was great to deal with.
I was hoping that I could audition them locally. I think I remember that you have Shindo gear as well. What model amp do you have?
Enjoy your new speakers

I have a Haut Brion, which I have owned for years and have no desire to upgrade, it's really that good. Its a little powerhouse with the O96's in place.

Yes I try to support the local dealers, but sometimes its just not possible. Cost wise the O96's were a bit cheaper sourced from the USA anyway. Matt is also a good guy to deal with.

Right now I have a Monbrison and Montille pairing with Klipsch LaScallas
The LaScallas are incredibly dynamic but require subs which are giving me some noise issues. I'm thinking about the Orangutans or Tannoy Kensingtons, but I think either will require a bit more power than what the Montille has.
I bought my Shindos from Matt as well, he is a great guy to deal with also.
Seems odd that even though Devore has very few dealers, they limit distribution
even more so.

Dirtbag - the Montille will make the Orangutans sing beautifully - I wouldn't worry about that...

Dirtbag - I would not be too worried about the power to drive the O/96. The Montille does works well into much less efficient speakers.

I think you will gain a lot more by also considering moving up the Shindo amplifier line - a Haut Brion or Cortese will give you a lot more resolution, a lot more refinement, much improved bass and drive.
