I always feel they have more than a touch of the Kazoo about them.

If you enjoy them, thats the only thing that matters.Well, I bought the Devores for my home, so it’s unsurprising that I think they sound great. Very balanced throughout the spectrum. They don’t reach the heights of clarity and neutrality of my Genelec’s, but they sound great, which is what I want for home. No boxiness or congestion in the two rooms I’ve heard them in…

When looking I auditioned them as they were highly recommended locally, could not really get why at all. The worst was with complex orchestral music where everything became a congested mess.
The LS60 also come highly regarded, i do like the styling/look. Will have to listen sometime, the local dealer has them.
Are there any measurements for the Devore, curious now
Some of the Martin Logan subs come with a version Anthem Room Correction. I believe there are some other brands that have some form of built in room correction.Thanks, I see that option as I noted above, it’d be even better if Kef offered an optional Dirac upgrade. Eliminating the need for any additional boxes.
Maybe the JBL 4329p will be closer to your taste (when it’s released, that is)?Stereophile got around to measuring the Devore O/93 speakers in 2019:
DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 loudspeaker Measurements
Sidebar: Measurements (from January 2019, Vol.42 No.1)www.stereophile.com
Not exactly text-book measurements.
But the O/93 were one of my favorite speakers I auditioned and I was seriously considering them. I did hear a bit of congestion during some more complex music though. I didn't hear it (at least to not that degree) on the larger O/96 model which I preferred.
They are completely different designs/measuring/sounding speakers than my current Thiel or Joseph speakers, but I loved the sound of the Devores nonetheless.
I still hope to hear the KEF LS60. My local store has them but the last time I was there the salesman couldn't play them for me. Basically the way they work involves, apparently, a level of complexity that playing them in the store can be difficult (something about using the same network as other things in the store?)
I'd like to be surprised by the LS60, but if they are similar enough to what I hear in the LS50 I'd probably still prefer the Devores. I like that beefy "wall of sound" from the Devore speakers.

How did you get those numbers? Until I see some real research I will say "Says who?" Maybe, despite attending an Ivy League college, I am not "intelligent"? Please provide a link to an empirical study.Very good writing , thanks
Our listening to music and what we like, are also very subjective. Only about 70% of the sound, how a loudspeaker will sound for us , can be measured . 30 % is pure subjectivity, and free for the listener to judge and have opinions about.
This should be perfectly clear for every intelligent person.
This is just one example how useless opinions are no matter how many agree or disagree. This speaker has so obvious flaws that one can even hear them in a YouTube video. Yet there a many people who claim these speakers are the best since sliced bread. No thank you.
GR Research LGK 2.0 Kit Speaker Review (video)
Video review of my recently tested GR Research LGK 2.0 DIY Kit speaker. There is bonus content here including recording of the sound coming out of the speaker and some additional graphs (which were also added to the text review):www.audiosciencereview.com
My advice: Use measurements (objective reviews) to preselect your speakers so you don’t spent money on a dud and then listen at home for your self. If in doubt, return the speakers. But don’t listen to some blabla of internet “experts”which have different preferences and which certainly have different rooms. But hey to each it’s own.
No, this is Amir's opinion only. Worth considering maybe, but by no means definitive or scientific. I disagree with him I am waiting for empirical data, despite my stupidity.Got it. Thanks for looking it up. Appears to me more like a rule of thumb but a scientifically derived rule. Fair enough.
That number is probably a ballpark figure, but it is well known you cannot simply just use the preference score. For example:How did you get those numbers? Until I see some real research I will say "Says who?" Maybe, despite attending an Ivy League college, I am not "intelligent"? Please provide a link to an empirical study.
Interesting .The new Stereophile is out with Kal's review of the LS60.
Not surprisingly it measures extremely well, and Kal is extremely enthusiastic.
I'd rather see KEF placing resources to keep their refinement of the UniQ or supporting the APP. Keep room correction in the dedicated hands of Dirac, Audyssey, Lyngdorff and so on.Some of the Martin Logan subs come with a version Anthem Room Correction. I believe there are some other brands that have some form of built in room correction.
Yes , this ls 60 speakers seems really good, and my listen experience mirrors the one Kal Rubinson had.Just read the stereophile review and checked out the measurements.
Seems outstanding and I love that the final word in the review is “Unbeatable”
