Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's
Andrewboettcher--you're right, the gibbon 88 is the latest in the line of 8 series gibbons, replacing the Super 8. These were shown a few weeks ago at RMAF. The new gibbon model we're planing to show at CES in January is another model, coming in a... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
@Countingbackwards--The O/96s are currently scheduled to be at Coup de Foudre through Sunday the 17th, and ship back to the factory on the 18th.And I'm glad to hear that your emotional respinse to the speakers is getting in the way of analyzing th... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Countingbackwards makes in important point in that for SSI, the manufacturers are guests in the Coup de Foudre room. That said, I like the Leben amps very much, and think they make a nice system with my speakers.I'd also like to comment on the sim...

DeVore Orangutan O/96
I don't want to weigh in here on value or comparisons, but I'd like to address the price of the O/96 Orangutans vs. the price of last year's O/93 prototypes. When I switched manufacturers for the Orangutan woofers, we nearly had to start from scra...

It's been far too long since I've heard the Exposure to be able to compare, sorry. Thanks for the kind words, happy listening!Cheers,John 
Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s
Hello Scottmac62,I've just returned from visiting a few dealers and have finally logged some time in front of DeVore Fidelity/Naim systems. Both happened to be Supernait based, one with a pair of The Nines and the other with Silverbacks. I am very... 
Krell FPB 400CX vs PASS LABS X-350.5
I agree with Tvad and Pdreher. Based on my experience with earlier Pass class-A vs AB designs, including older Threshold models, if the XA-60.5 is remotely close in price to the X-350.5 go for the XA. It will sound enormously powerful on the Nines... 
Zu Presence vs. Devore Nines
Hello Glory,Your Audio Note amp is a great match for a pair of The Nines. I use the AN P-3 Silver Signature with my Super 8s at home and they are a bit less sensitive than The Nines. The combo has powered plenty of crowded parties with nary a comp... 
Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable?
Hello e,First, thanks for choosing our speakers, I hope you enjoy your new system for many years.As a rule we don't have specific component or cable recommendations, but I thought it was important to suggest that you make sure the speakers are ful... 
Monitors for Sim integrated
Hello Rfprice,Does your local dealer have a pair of gibbon 3s? Based on your comments about the Super 8s, it sounds like you're right, they are overloading your room. The little gibbon 3s could be the perfect match, giving you a good measure of th... 
has any one owned a pair of Spica sc 30?
Great speaker. They never sold very well, because of the cone tweeter (just not sexy) but they have a beautiful, full-bodied sound with pretty good clarity. They were a steal new, as I remember it.
