I have Devore Gibbon 8 and 3 speakers. They do indeed work well with tubes, I have used them with Audio Note gear. They also sound superb with solid state. In my case Creek Destiny and Naim Nait 5i, with both they are a killer match. Heck they even sound good on an Outlaw 2150 receiver.
DeVore Gibbon 8's or Salk Songtowers?
I have enough money in the budget to try one more pair of speakers before calling the whole thing done for another twenty years. Emphasis is on quick, snappy, detail-oriented sound with excellent image, but still silky enough through the mid and treble so as not to overwhelm my slap-happy room. Power is McCormack DNA-HT5, pre is McCormack MAP-1, interconnects by Blue Jeans, power and speaker cables by Element.
If the two finalists are the DeVore Gibbon-8 and the Salk Songtowers (with the previously stated objectives in mind), which pair is the better choice? It's impractical for me to audition either pair before buying and trying.
