In Reply to: Art's follow-up on the DeVore O/93's posted by FSonicSmith on April 15, 2018 at 19:17:44:
Guessing there are a few variables here, such as room size and amplification (power).
I'm also guessing that all things being otherwise equal, the O/93 in a smaller room with the speakers closer to the listening position might well image better (if sound stage is your 'thing') while the O/96 might 'fill the room' with a lifelike performance listening to full scale orchestra performances in a larger room with a lower powered amp.
Maybe.
And as I may be having to scale down the size of my listening room from a 600+ sq. ft. 'loft' with a 12 ft. peaked ceiling to a more reasonable 12 x 15 foot space, shared with furnishings, my Edgar Horns may have to go. :-(
And this while moving from a 1600 sq. ft. home (tiny 1000 sq. ft. San Francisco home with a 600 sq ft loft as an added story) to a 3100 sq. ft. home here in Santa Fe. =:-0
Love to hear what the O/93 would sound like powered by an 8 watt 300B amp in a reasonable sized room and on large scale classical recordings.
Does DeVore normally show at RMAF in Denver?
Now living 'just' a 400 mile drive from Denver now so it will be easy to get there.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
