In Reply to: RE: Devore speakers work well with OTLs posted by Lew on April 07, 2015 at 18:55:37
They are rated for 90db at 1 watt. This is good, but not outstanding. However, their relatively small size combined with the good impedence makes them easy to drive. Devore used to show them with a 15 watt Shindo. Last night, I swapped back to the high power solid state amp and it sounded very good too. They walk a line of being non-fatiguing but at the same time, not rolled off.

In some (only good) ways they originally reminded me of my early experiences with the Rogers LS3/5A and certain Spendor loudspeakers (I'm talking about 20-30 years ago), but I think the Devores are in fact a lot less limited.
I have a friend with a pair of Snell E's. They are somewhat similar in range and efficiency, work well with tube amps and I have always liked them. However, the Devores have the edge in inner details and soundstage. I would have bought a pair of the Snells if only I could have found some close enough or someone willing to ship (almost never).

The Devore speakers also remind me of what was best about the Snell speaker line.
