High-Efficiency, Handcrafted Audio
The DeVore Fidelity Philosophy and Heritage
Founded by president and chief designer John DeVore in Brooklyn, New York, DeVore Fidelity has earned universal acclaim for loudspeakers that combine classic aesthetics with cutting-edge efficiency. The core philosophy centers on high-sensitivity designs that pair effortlessly with a wide range of amplification, particularly low-wattage tube amplifiers. These are high-performance instruments designed to deliver a rich, organic, and incredibly coherent soundstage, honoring the music with exceptional dynamics and tonal purity. As an authorized DeVore Fidelity dealer serving the NYC, NJ, and CT Tri-State area, we are proud to showcase these celebrated American-made loudspeakers.
What Should You Consider When Choosing Davone Audio Speakers?
When choosing Davone Audio loudspeakers, consider your room size, listening preferences, amplifier compatibility, and speaker placement. The Davone Twist combines a distinctive twisting cabinet design with acoustic considerations such as reducing internal standing waves and edge diffraction. These details make it important to consider both the speaker’s design and how it will work within your listening space.
You can also explore our high-fidelity loudspeaker selection to compare other speaker designs available at In Living Stereo.
Understanding the Davone Twist Design
The Davone Twist stands out for its sculptural cabinet, which is designed to be part of the listening room rather than simply blend into the background. Its twisting shape is also intended to address acoustic effects inside and around the cabinet, including internal standing waves and edge diffraction.
For listeners choosing speakers for a living space, this combination of form and function is an important part of the Davone Audio approach. The Twist offers an alternative to conventional loudspeaker cabinets while keeping the focus on high-fidelity music reproduction.
Matching Davone Audio Speakers With Your Amplifier
A loudspeaker and amplifier should be considered as parts of the same stereo system. When evaluating amplification for the Davone Twist, consider the speaker’s specifications, your room, listening distance, and preferred volume levels.

Both drivers use the cast and machined bronze chassis from the O/Reference and deliver a new level of linearity and dynamic coherence for a speaker of this type. The port tubes are also made from bronze and like the O/Reference, they are isolated from the cabinet to minimize the effect of vibrations on the speaker performance.
