I wish they were sealed box, but this is what it is. Unfortunately there is no chance for me to listen to them, but I'm willing to hear your idea or anyone who had chance to listen.http://devorefidelity.com/oref/

Paul thanks for sharing this video, Looking at topology of DeVore's new speakers I thought there is a smart mind behind its design. Just wishful thinking...Watching that disappointing clip was an eye opener, I completely changed my mind. Those speakers may sound good I don't know, but there is no smartness in that clip.

I was killing time recently, flitting around the internet, trying to find expensive speakers playing real orchestral music. I found only one example, the Wilson Alexx, playing Beethoven 9.  I t was the first time I "heard" this speaker sounding interesting enough to encourage further inquiry, and other snippets of less demanding music I "heard" after that were OK, as well, making me curious, unlike when I heard them demonstrated at THE Show. These might be better "integrated" than the WAMMs, likely easier to integrate into a system/room. Best regards, Paul S

It is possible that they are very good sounding speakers. But what annoyed me, was the presentation. It was so foolish. Pinnacle of that stupid clip was showing that gentleman's Seiko watch!

These speakers sound to me rather like big Audio Note speakers, maybe trying harder for LF.  Some boxy sound in lower MF, like the O-96.  The O-93 has none of this but it doesn't sound as natural in that region with respect to balance, either.
