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?

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?

18439,

I would think that being an owner of the Zu Presence that you prefered the Zu to the DeVore?

It doesn't matter what anyone else prefers.

9/10 people may prefer speaker A. You might be the only one who prefers speaker B. Does that make your preference wrong? Of course not.

Listen to both if you can...but you already know this.
