Default DeVORE O/96 with MC 275's ?

Any one owns or experience with the title ?

I'm looking to purchase the O/96 and wondering how do they sound together.

Any input greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Paul, I attended demo night in Dallas a month ago with the 0/96 and ARC gear. They were just smashing together. I can't imaging that the MC 275 and 0/96s would not blow your socks off as well.

Dallas is a long way to come, but you could Call Mark Ashworth with Audio Concepts in Dallas. He has both in stock and coud answer any questions.

Thank you for reply and that's good to know. Were they sound musical to your ears ? Or more like audiophile sounds ? I had the DeVore 3XL and it sounded little too much detail to my ears and hoping the O/96 is more musical speakers.

Paul, yes, they were big musical that night paired with the ARC gear and a full spec Linn TT. At the same time, they are still a very resolving speaker. Very detailed, but very well balanced. The demo was in a nice sized room and for the most part, the volume levels were higher than usual. In between, with lower volume, they still delivered music. The 0/96s took it all in stride. They play larger than their size might suggest. I can't comment regarding the 3XL. Based on your comments, you might also want to audition the new Gibbon X. They have a different presence and depending on the room, might give you something to compare.

the 096 are a lot more fuller and musical sounding than the Devore series...
that said the 096 pairs well with a lot of electronics... Accuphase, ARC, Vac are among the few i heard with good effect...

I believe that if I’m ever fortunate enough to get O/96 I will stop looking for speakers. One of my end game speakers.

I have O/96s with a single MC275+C2700 and find the pairing great for everything except heavier rock.

How do you like the M5's paired with the 275?

I heard the M5's at a show not too long ago I thought they were the best of show.

Ahh… C2700 very nice, I have the C2600 or C22 on my wish list.
I’m currently listening and loving the M5, amazing sound for the price. I’ve owned more expensive speakers that don’t come close. They need some space and of course proper placement but after that it’s awesome IMHO.
