    I have owned various Devore Fidelity speakers.. I fell in love with them two decades ago in NYC, when it was not yet such a well-known brand and nobody knew about it in my country, Italy. The O/Bronze arouses something different in me. It probably has to do with the fact that it is the culmination of a "new" path taken with the production of the O/96 and that it allowed John to experiment with the right steps to refine the O/96. In a few words, an approach driven by love and passion, what sets Devore apart from most hifi brands. Since I could not get the Twenty, I am now really excited to know that I can own a pair here in Italy. Thank you John! Francesco

    Thanks for the tour John. Very interesting. But I was curious why there wasn't any testing equipmement in sight, such as an oscilloscope, voltage tester, multimeter, tube tester etc?

    If I didn't like it I'd never use it at a show! For a preamp that contains a streaming DAC and an adjustable-curve phono stage, it's fantastic! The DAC is legendary, and the MM phono (using MC step-up transformers) is excellent. Not as much with the MC direct.

    So what’s the go with the O/Bronzes? Better bass response than the O/96? I only ask because when I finally get round to upgrading my system, I’d rather save money and space, and only get one set of speakers… I know I’m on the hook for a couple amplifiers, due to the eclectic nature of my record collection, but speakers take up a lot of space.

    I love 78s, there is much great music on them. And most people have never heard a 78 played back through a hi-end system with proper EQ. A HiFi show is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how they sound. Of course we'll be playing modern LPs as well.
