Excerpts from Todd Warnke's review in
Enjoy the Music: When you hear a component that gets it right the
feeling is something altogether different than the momentary sonic rush
of a boom and sizzle showroom demo. It's not about hearing more detail,
though that may happen. And it's not about frequency extension, though
that may be a part of it too. Nor is about a stage that rearranges the
walls of your listening room, though it's nice when that happens as
well. Rather, it's about hearing a complete music tapestry rather than
the hyper-magnified and exaggerated details of the sonic fabric. And
from the very beginning the Devore Fidelity gibbon SUPER 8 delivered the
right feeling — and the right sounds. At the end of my time with the gibbon SUPER 8, I need only say that it represents a new benchmark. The Devore is a remarkably unfussy loudspeaker, it can be driven by just about any electronics and make them sound better than you thought they were, plus their modest size allows you have a listening and a living room at the same time. But it is also a wonderfully clear, detailed, open, near full-range loudspeaker. Seamless, coherent, organic, natural... with it in the system I found myself listening to music and not to the associated details of the sonic fabric. Within their admittedly large parameters they are without peer for anything less than double their price. Not just recommended, but if you love music they are mandatory listening.
