Devore vs Harbeth

Ummm?-- no in my opinion they do not have the same qualities-- the Devores are rather "thick" sounding and closed in. They do not deserve the hype frankly.

Go with the Harbeths while not the most analytical of speakers the warmth and honesty of the delivery is captivating.

Unlike the Devores which are bland.

Ah, we all hear differently. Very differently.

I have not had the pleasure to hear speakers by Harbeth, but have read many fine things about them. I own the DeVore Silverbacks and have heard the DeVore 9's, Super 8's, 3XL's, & former 3's. I do not find them thick or closed in at all. Quite the opposite, actually, along with being the most musical and the best value at their respective price points, which includes many, many speaker offerings, but again, not any by Harbeth.
