It is the fashion these days to get upset over the tiniest thing. Sorry that DeVore speakers appear to be a trigger. But your basic premise is wrong and you simply didnt like my comments on a speaker which you adore. Pretty silly.
I have spent over 100 hours listening to the 0/96s and at least 50 on the 0/93s. Both of these speakers were the mains in 2 houses in which we would hold monthly listening sessions. Each month we would bring a different component, cables, etc.
My take away was that the 0/93s were certainly a better value than the 0/96s and sounded more balanced.
On these speakers we used some less expensive solid state (First Watt most recent production, Parasound, Aragon), P.P. tube amps (VAC and older Zesto), SET (mainly 300B Audio Note both single and parallel) and OTLs. Universally the OTLs were preferred. I am convinced that the 0/96 is not a 96db efficient speaker.
My point is you could not possibly know if I have listened to the DeVores. Had I gushed all over them you would not have questioned my legitimacy or motive. Therein lies the (your) problem.
