Differences between Devore O96 and Silverbacks ?

[Jwhcfi]

Anybody think the MC275 would mate well with the O96s? Any first hand knowledge of Mac & Devore at all? I heard the 8s paired with Carver Cherry Bombs and did not think it a good match.

I think the only Shindo amp made today that would get the best result from the SB would be the CCQ's Before I purchased my current system I consulted with both my dealer and Jonathan Halpern. Even though my amps put out nearly double the power of your Cortese I was advised to go with the high efficiency 0/96, at least until I have a room that will suit the Latour's. The goal is to create an organic, effortless flow to the music. Unless you are prepared to change amps I am not sure that will happen. I could be wrong. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the feedback , just for clarity I have the Giscours with the CC80's which I had hoped out me in the driving bracket. The reviews I've come across and the specification page on the website talk about always between 7 and 15 ohms. My current horns are rated 6 ohms and I'm experiencing nor problems,

Regards,
Paul

I used to have a pair of MC275s and I did try my super 8s with them. It worked well. I used to run the Super 8's with a MA6500 and that was a great pairing.
But my Leben is even better. I do miss that MA6500 though. Shoulda kept it. I could have used it for my patio

Thanks Dale.

Just got my SBs and they sound pretty damn good with the Cortese. Tight bass, great imaging and detail. Monbrison volume is at 9 to 10 and they are plenty loud. Very,very different from the O's. image-2901845720.jpg Sent from my iPad using A.Aficionado

Congrats! Is that in Walnut?

What's the major difference between the O's?

[Logey]

Yes, walnut. I think the SBs are better at disappearing into a room, and throw a deep soundstage with well-defined bass.

Thanks John. Would you mind providing me with some information on the upgrade to the Silverbacks?

Congrats Logey! I thought you'd be pretty happy with the combo! I'm glad it worked out for you.
