Just auditioned the DeF 8 and I can tell you that it's a great speaker. I originally went into the shop (Stereo traders in Jenkintown PA) to listen to the new Kestrel 2s. The Kestrels are great by the way. Turning back to the Def 8s. These speakers blew me away. They are among the better small floor standers I have ever listened to, with a crystal clear midrange and highs, tonally uncolored, and with stunning bass response. We used the 20 WPC Cary triode amp to drive them as well, with absolutely no problem. I am now trying to figure out whether I liked the Kestrel2s or the Def 8s better.
DeVore Fidelity speakers?
Hi everyone,
I read a review on 6moons.com raving about the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 8 speakers. Has anybody had any experience with either the floorstanding Gibbon 8 or the stand mounted Gibbon 3? Have checked on this site and also on Audio Asylum but have not found much info. Any comments would be appreciated as I am in the market for monitor speakers (I welcome other recommendations as well).
Current system:
Plinius 8200 mk 1
Classe .5 cdp
NHT 2.5i
Acoustic Zen Hologram
Luminous Audio Synchestra interconnect
Room dimensions: 13x15x8
Music: acoustic jazz (both vocal and instrumental)
Many thanks,
Kevin
