Zu Presence vs. Devore Nines

I am looking at buying one of these two speakers to run with my 8 watt Audio Note 300B amp.

I am leaning towards the Zu Presence because of the buzz this speaker line is causing and the positive feedback of owners.

Any thoughts on the Devore Nines before I pull the trigger on the Zu?

I see. Too bad the home audition doesn't apply.

Maybe it's worth getting on a plane to hear these two speakers? Although, you won't know how they sound with your amp unless you ship it ahead.

All of the ZUites ski so I think I might head out there in March and do some ZU sking.

There's a Devore dealer in San Francisco. Not far from Salt Lake by air.

I have the Zu Definitions. I auditioned the Devore Nines in NYC. With the caveat that the spaces and electronics were totally different, to me there was no comparison - especially when it came to tone, dynamics, bass, etc.

a potentially big caveat, or are you comfortable with your assessment?

so which one did you like better?
