I haven't heard either, but from the anecdotal evidence and reviews I have read, it seems that the sweet spot for the Super 8's is with low to medium power tube amps. I understand the designer often recommends the low powered Shindo gear, for example. So, my guess is that your Bryston would be a bit out of character for use with these speakers and I would strongly encourage an audition with your amp, if possible.
Devore Super 8s vs Acoustic Zen Adagios
I have a small (11 by 18) listening room, open to the sides, and am considering a speaker upgrade. I'm using Bryston 3Bs, which I think have ample power.
Based on various recommendations I'm thinking that the Devores and the Acoustic Zens are strong candidates. I've heard the Devores (no local dealers for either) and was impressed with them. Also, SAF is a major consideration and my spouse liked the way they looked and sounded. (She likes music but is not an audiophile.)
I haven't been able to audition the Adagios. Has anyone who has heard both care to offer an opinion? Would someone like to suggest something else in the same general price/size category?
TIA
