I attended Matt Rotunda of Pitch Perfect Audio's Greenhaus event in January of this year. It was a two-day event and on the first evening, he played the Devore Orangutan O/96 followed by a pair of Devore Gibbon X speakers that had debuted at the CES (the rest of the system consisted of a Shindo Haut Brion amp, a Shindo Vosne Romanee preamp, and a Garrard turntable). Later in the evening, I believe a Shindo Giscours preamp was rotated in place of the Vosne Romanee. The second night featured the Line Magnetic 755 speakers initially which were followed by the Shindo Latours. It was my first listening experience with single driver speakers and I came away impressed as the 755's held their own against the other three speakers. I didn't see the 300B field coils but perhaps Matt may have had them positioned off to the side. I wasn't aware of the price point of the 755's up until I read Art Dudley's latest column a couple of weeks ago, but if I were in the market for a new pair of speakers, they definitely would be worthy of a follow up audition.
