Are there speakers that go with these beauties, or are you content with just looking at them? 

If be happy doing either..the shots like a piece of art in a fancy art gallery...

Speakers are Solaudio Fusion Gen 2´s. Amps are made-to-order artisan hifi. Preamp is full tube, power amps transistor. The topology is not something I like to discuss further here. Dac is mostly either Denafrips Ares 2 or TotalDac (with streamer and extra ps´s), Roon´s the main interface. CD´s are played through Projects transport (with it´s external ps). Some variations do take place since I have other components in other systems and sometimes I vary them for fun or for comparison.

Devore 96’s 

 

Thank you

 

I was lining up "Now I know where Peter Qvortrup got his inspiration." But it seems the chicken came first (which doesn't surprise tbh). According to Stereophile here:

 

Audio Note is famous for their distinctive wide-baffle, high-sensitivity AN-E speakers, which find favor with many single-ended-triode enthusiasts. Industry stalwarts Spendor and Harbeth have kept classic wide-baffle designs in their own lines. And now, America's own DeVore Fidelity has brought to market their Orangutan O/96 ($12,000/pair), a wide-baffle, high-sensitivity, full-range dynamic loudspeaker aimed squarely at the SET set.

 

I am in love with my Snell Type A III. Hence the keen eye :-)

Now there is a fascinating mix of the classics of the past, and the technology of current day. Well done.

I was fortunate enough to recently pick up the incredibly rare (only 100 made) 90th anniversary Luxman MQ-88uSE in mint condition.

Great option. I would not have thought there was one new in box in existence. Thankfully, mine is absolutely in mint condition, and perfect. Wonderful amp!

I love seeing everyone’s systems!

[Middy]

With whats being shown, i am getting more interior design tips than audio system's..... To be honest, i returned the Dave as it clashed with the chaise lounge...😁

 

Some lovely systems keep them coming..👍👍

I assume the Devore's are a secondary setup? 

 

You have had sooo many top shelf components + spkrs shuffled through your system, you've had quite the journey.  Kudos.  Any favorites (if that's even possible)?  👍

The most elegantly led speaker cables I've ever seen!

Gotta try it some day..

Cool room and the view!

Hi Guys, I thought I would post some photos of the my room, after extensive sweeps and tuning I finally got the room to be a neutral as possible

 

 

My system is fully active, meaning I don't use the crossovers inside the speakers, each driver is directly connected to a stereo amp left and right

 

And crossover duties are controlled by a Xilica XP 4080

 

CD/SACD Player is connected to the Luxman preamp, the one in the photo is to be replaced by a new CL-1000 that is inbound 

 

This connects to the Xilica which then outputs to the relative stereo power amplifier

 

PrimaLuna Dialogue HP power amplifier for tweeters, Primaluna Dialogue HP power amplifier for midrange and Emotiva solid state amplifier for bass drivers, I also have 2 x SVS SB2000 Pros for the lower end of the bass

 

The system is acoustically timed to the Main Listening Position and all crossover frequencys & PEQs are programmed and controlled by the Xilica

 

Power is conditioned by IsoTek, I use the Super Titan for all power amplifiers and a Super Genesis for source components 

 

Entreq Tellus & Gutwire consummate for grounding 

 

Acoustic panels are primacoustic and Vicoustics

 

La Scala's are LSII version with non standard B&C DE120 Drivers (Tweeters) with DaveA (Klipsch Forum) machined horn lenses

 

Rack is an Artesania Exoteryc 3+3

I have some GIK panels on order for the front wall and first reflection points.  Noted setup expert Jim Smith brought his panels over so we could dial the room in.  It sounded wonderful.
