Mikey,
Your choices are identical to the ones I considered for my 30 watt, tube amps- Joule Stargates. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to hear/compare the Living Voice.
Luckily, I now have a pair of Devore 8s (not the Super).
The sound is very good. Crystal clear highs, no leaness, no harshness. Mids are also clear with voices which sound like people in the room full of emotions.
Some folks may find the bass absent, or not enough there. The bass is on the lean side, but, it is articulate. One can hear the notes. I prefer articulate bass over "full" lush bass. To my ear, what most folks call full bass is usually mushy, boomy and undefined. I'd rather have lean bass if it is tonal, rather than boomy. Just my preference.
Keep us posted. I am curious about the Living Voice.
