Speaker styles / sound

Thanks everyone, and apologies for falling off the face of the earth for a few months before responding.

Millercarbon, not sure where you got the idea this had anything to do with size.  As stated, I was looking for a comparison of their sonics and sound profiles.

I think Verdantaudio's response was most helpful.  I keep hearing the terms "musical vs hifi" and was trying to understand the difference.  Probably better to go listen instead of doing more reading.

Clearly the question could have been better written on my part.  

but with each properly matched to an amp, what is the difference in their sound profiles?

Good question. The Monitor Audio speakers will likely sound more “neutral” and revealing while the DeVores will sound a little richer, fuller, and a little less detailed in the treble region. Both are outstanding speakers, so it really comes down to a matter of personal taste and equipment matching/synergies. My advice, go listen to some Joseph Audio speakers because, to me, they do everything well and shoot straight down the fairway. Using them as a benchmark of neutrality, go from there. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
