High Sensitivity, high / flat impedance Speaker Shopping

I am  in the market for a new pair of high sensitivity / high-flat impedance curve speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or greater. 1st order crossover, highly dampened woofer, etc.

I'm researching Devore Super 9's and Coincident Super Victory III.

Anyone owning or hearing either (or similar), would appreciate your input.

My current speakers are Sonist Concerto 4, Genertaion 2, driven by 30 Watt P/Pull Class "A" (mostly) EL34 (Ars Sonus Filarmonia,  with Jupiur Copper Foil / Bees Wax coupling caps)

Front baffles of speakers are approx 5' from front wall, 9' apart tweeter to tweeter, 3' from side wall (center of tweeter to side wall.  I sit 10 to 12 feet from front baffle of speaker. Opens up to kitchen behind where I sit, about 22 feet to wall behind my seat.  So basically the entire area is 15' wide X 37' long, speakers on the narrower wall (15')

I have purchased a LTA ZOTL 40 Integrated W/ EL34 Mullard tube upgrade. The LTA will be the primary amp in the new set-up.

With exception to Volti, Spatial, Zu, Tekton, PAP, Klipsch (previously considered) Your suggestion of a speaker currently in production would be welcome.

Thnx

Don’t know what your budget is, but Verity Audio would be really worth a look.  Also 3M, both from Canada and really great speakers.

Yeah, take a look at Verity.  One of the five best speakers I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot.  They are one of the few brands I’d categorize as truly special, but at this level you gotta listen for yourself anyway.  Best of luck.

Not sure what your budget is, but if I’m you I’m giving a hard look at the Verity Audio Otello. Here’s a review that very much jibes with what I heard and bowled me over when I heard the Parsifal. Spoiler alert — the reviewer bought the review pair, and that’s always one of the best recommendations you can get if you think the product works for your tastes and system...

Honestly, I think Verity is one of the most unsung brands here in the USA along with Usher. Anyway, the Otello would be my best recommendation by far if they’re in your budget and are looking for something endgame and truly special.
