DeVore Silverbacks

Where did you hear them. What would your partnering amp be.

I have the Silverbacks in my reference system. They are the best overall multi-driver speaker I have heard at their approximate price point and below. I have heard them with both SS (Nagra, Audio Research, Luxman, Naim) and tube (Shindo, Leben, Luxman) gear. Although they sounded great with all of those, I felt they sounded best with tubes, particularly Shindo. I am currently running them with a Shindo Masseto pre and a Luxman MQ-88 amp and just love the music they make!

If anyone can make specific comparisons to speakers at the Silverbacks' pricepoint, that would be great.

Thx,

John

Jdoris - The Verity Leonore and DF Silverback are just about the same price. In comparing the two, I felt the Silverbacks were superior in every way except one. I felt the Leonore's upper end was just a touch better; this was mostly apparent to me for solo piano works.

I to prefer the Silverbacks to the Verity, however, I would recommend that you widen your net.

The Silverbacks have a very natural midrange,and throw a nice soundstage, I will say they are a bit lightweight in the bass and dynamics are good but not spectacular, and they tend to be tonally a bit on the warm side and lack some of the detailing you can get in other speakers.

Just curious where did you hear them and what would your electronics be?
