DeVore Orangutan O/96

Jazz, little bit of rock, and some country

Lowens, let us know how they sound.
I'd love to hear them. I think you live close to me. Did you buy them thru the local dealer?

Too bad they wouldn't let the local dealer carry them. I bought a pair of Super 8's from him a few years ago and he was great to deal with.
I was hoping that I could audition them locally. I think I remember that you have Shindo gear as well. What model amp do you have?
Enjoy your new speakers

Lowens
Right now I have a Monbrison and Montille pairing with Klipsch LaScallas
The LaScallas are incredibly dynamic but require subs which are giving me some noise issues. I'm thinking about the Orangutans or Tannoy Kensingtons, but I think either will require a bit more power than what the Montille has.
I bought my Shindos from Matt as well, he is a great guy to deal with also.
Seems odd that even though Devore has very few dealers, they limit distribution
even more so.

Oldgrey,
I think you are right, that I should go with my gut on what would work best.
My Klipsch will work with just about any power level, but if I do change then I would hate to be lacking in power, even if it only for the occasional big song.
The problem with the Orangutans is where do you audition them?
I don't want to drive 800 miles to San Fran to hear them. I have a Devore dealer within 5 miles of my home, but he is not allowed to sell them. Seems like a bit of a good old boys club to me. Even my other choice, Tannoy Prestige line, are almost impossible to audition. My LaScallas are incredible. I would hate to sell them and spend 12K on something else that might not be as good.
