DeVore Silverbacks

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?

Audiofreakgeek - Your experience with the Silverbacks differs from mine somewhat. I have always found the bass and dynamics to be excellent and the speakers themselves to be very revealing of musical detail without being clinical. Which pre, amp, and sources were used when you heard the Silverbacks, and was this in a store or someone's properly setup listening room? Was there a particular recording or genre of music you listened to on the Silverbacks that caused you to conclude as you did about their bass, dynamics, and detail? Thanks in advance for any details you are willing to share. Best regards, Steven

4musica, it depends on what you are comparing them to. I heard them at SBS and no matter what gear they were using, the Silverbacks didn't go particularly low.

I am not saying they didn't do a lot of nice things, it is just not a bass or dynamics crazy speaker like a Wilson, KEF or B&W.
