DeVore Orangutan O/96


The original Orangutan thread appears to have been deleted, so I'll re-start it. Did anyone hear them at In Living Stereo earlier this month? Any initial thoughts or comparisons you can offer? I'm anxious to hear them myself, but don't plan on being in the NYC area anytime soon...

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.
