Excerpts from Ken Micallef’s

7.1 review: "the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 7.1s, which stand sentinel-like with their narrow footprint and tall stature, are the most tonally pure, articulate, dynamic and transparent bookshelf speakers I have yet heard. Coming into my crowded listening space after owning small monitors from B&W, Revel, Proac, Spendor and Epos, the 7.1s left me dumbstruck and downright horny for CDs. Every familiar CD revealed greater clarity and new levels of insight through the 7.1s. Their ability to not only reveal every CD in its own singular sonic venue and recording locale, but to do so with unswerving transparency, focus and energetic delivery place them in a league of their own just like their larger siblings. The 7.1s were fast, detailed and articulate and I could never isolate one part of the speaker's spectrum that was out of whack with its component parts. Coherence was first rate. With no exaggerated bass or amorphous treble and as tonally truthful a midrange as I have heard, the 7.1s drew me into every CD I played. The DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 7.1s are special speakers indeed and without peer as a bookshelf monitor in my opinion." Read the full review here. |
