Restock, the DeVores you heard have been happy in their new home. Only pair of speakers I own now. When I listen to them (which is not much lately) I find myself rather amazed that they're slated for "2nd system" duties. (And this is the 2nd pair I've owned.)
Lately, I've been driving them with 2W Wright 45 monoblocks, and except for the best in dynamics, the pairing stunningly good. Never have I heard bass with more accurate articulation, for one thing.
There must be some serious magic in this crossover. There are only a handful of two-ways in the world, IME, that are absolutely, completely coherent, truly sounding like a point-source, and this is one of them. (The only other speaker I know that does it as well, perhaps even better, is the Audio Note AN/E.)
