Ok that's not too bad! Slightly worried about comments re not being able to rock out. Chamber music is not my thang!
A lot of folks rock out with DeVore speakers including the designer. Any half decent speaker can do any genre within reason. I have listened to AC/DC with my Harbeth P3’s without a sub. Small room at night and everything was perfect. If pressurizing an auditorium is your thing none of these speakers will do. In an average domestic space DeVore’s do quite well. Chamber music is my thing along with just about every other kind of music.
 
Great with acoustic / jazz, Not the best choice for Dub / Edm / Metal

My experience does not match that at all. I have the O/96's (and have owned many other DeVore models over the years). Not one model of DeVores I ever owned had issues playing any type of music. And I listen to almost everything from jazz to rock to late 70s/early 80s punk/hardcore to dub and roots reggae, etc.
 
Hello,
I start this thread as a thread for everything about DeVore audio because IMO this brand and especially its so likeable designer deserves it.

Here is a great video:
I’ve got a dealer right near by and have heard most of the DeVore line over the years. I really liked the little 3xl very much and wish I owned a pair. I liked the original Silverback as well and am sure I’d like the replacement. Perhaps oddly, I think I prefer his more conventional designs to the Orangutan line. I may not have heard enough of them. They are also fairly large, particularly the o96. As someone said they have lovely cabinet grade finishes as well.

Cheers. My room is about 6x4m and at my age my definition of rocking out is probably quite tame!
 
I've been following DeVore's progress a fair bit although I've never even heard his speakers. He seems to be a great guy who focuses on music when designing his speakers (this may sound like a truism but a lot of expensive equipment out there sounds like they have been designed for other purposes rather than reproducing music faithfully).

Here are some writeups on his early days, back when he still had hair. He used to host listening sessions at his Brooklyn yard premises called 'Monkeyhaus'. Seems like great fun.

Anyone playing Ornette Coleman gets my vote.
