The Art of Speaker Design: Understanding the DeVore Fidelity Philosophy

The loudspeaker sits at the heart of every great audio system. DeVore Fidelity has built its reputation by creating transducers that prioritize musicality and emotional connection. They deliberately avoid focusing solely on clinical specifications. Founder John DeVore blends decades of experience as both a musician and a designer. Consequently, he creates speakers that are efficient, dynamic, and compatible with various amplification types. Specifically, this is especially true for the low-power tube amps that many audiophiles favor.

Therefore, this event is specifically designed to illustrate this philosophy in practice. We will showcase how different DeVore Fidelity speakers integrate seamlessly into meticulously curated high-end systems. You will move through three separate dedicated listening environments. In short, each room offers a unique perspective on the magic that happens when music, craftsmanship, and physics align.

Three Rooms, Three Exceptional High-Fidelity Systems

Our showroom has been carefully transformed to host three distinct, world-class listening experiences. This setup ensures every visitor can hear the capabilities of DeVore Fidelity loudspeakers in unique settings. These settings reflect different room sizes and component pairings.

The White Listening Room: Tube Warmth Meets Modern Detail

The journey begins in our White Room. Here, the versatile DeVore Fidelity Super Nines will take center stage. These speakers are celebrated for delivering a musically satisfying experience despite their modest size.

• Loudspeakers: DeVore Fidelity Super Nines
• Amplification: Leben CS600x tube integrated amplifier, enhanced with Ray Tubes’ EL34 Reserve output tubes.
• Analog Source: Clearaudio Ovation turntable with a Hana Umami Blue cartridge. This feeds into the Leben RS30EQ phono preamp.
• Digital Source: Weiss Engineering DAC204 provides immaculate digital-to-analog conversion.

Ultimately, this system has been carefully matched to deliver a wonderfully musical and detailed presentation. Thus, it is perfect for listeners who value intimacy and textural richness in a moderately sized listening space.

The Green Listening Room: A Hybrid Powerhouse for Dynamics

Next, we move into the Green Room. This is where you will experience a powerful, high-resolution hybrid setup. Here, the renowned DeVore O/Bronze loudspeakers will demonstrate their stunning dynamics and effortless presentation. These speakers are a proud part of the revered Orangutan Series.

• Loudspeakers: DeVore Fidelity O/Bronze
• Amplification: The new Riviera Labs Levante integrated amplifier. This component skillfully combines tube inputs with a powerful solid-state Class A output stage.
• Vinyl Playback: The powerful AMG Viella V12 turntable paired with the classic Koetsu Rosewood cartridge. This combination is built for precision and tone.
• Digital Playback: The Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 d/a convertor and the upsampling MScaler. This pairing is known for delivering stunning performance and digital detail.

Consequentially, this room is an exploration of high-current, low-distortion audio. It highlights the superb clarity and scale the O/Bronze speakers are capable of when they are driven by top-tier amplification.

The Large Reference Room: The Flagship DeVore O/Reference Experience

Finally, our flagship Reference Room awaits. It will feature the ultimate expression of the company’s vision: the full, four-piece DeVore Fidelity O/Reference speaker system. Clearly, we specifically designed this all-out audiophile setup to showcase uncompromising realism.

• Realistic Scale and Immersion: Providing the sheer size and physical impact of a live performance.
• Full-Frequency Bandwidth: Delivering deep, controlled bass and extended, airy highs.
• Impeccable Spatial Imaging: Creating a wide, deep, and believable soundstage.
• Unmatched Musicality: Maintaining the emotional core of the performance above all else.

This state-of-the-art presentation will feature tube amplification from G.I.P. Laboratory, analog playback from the AMG Viella Forte turntable with a Benz Micro LPS cartridge, and one of the world’s finest digital sources, the Weiss Engineering Helios.
