DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 Loudspeakers

Sean Casey and John DeVore are both extremely talented designers. I suspect that each made difficult decisions in order to preserve what he believed to be important. Consider me a fan of both aesthetics.— Herb Reichert

Yes, there is madder music and stronger drink—and the O/93 experience is indeed drink, not heroin. But to those who value the content of a musical message over the ability to hear where in the room that message is coming from, it’s far better stuff than most everyone else is making.—Art Dudley

Meanwhile, the Orangutan O/93s thrived on tubed amps, and on SETs in particular. I thrived, too. I enjoyed the full weight of orchestral music. I also enjoyed the immediacy of various instruments, especially the brass. This Orangutan wasn’t afraid to bite… when he should. But I don’t mean to suggest that his sound was in any way uncivilized.—Sam Tellig

“I cannot recommend the O/93 highly enough, not only are they cerebral in their intimations, they also speak to the heart, and that to me, is what an end-game loudspeaker must be capable of.”

“The O/93 is very definitely rich, in that it has a distinct sense of fullness and warmth across the midband that is extremely alluring.” “Most of all, though, they are just so damn musical and enjoyable, and yes there is such a thing as a ‘musical’ loudspeaker….It’s a sound that manages to convey ‘vibe’ as much as ‘information’, and that’s extremely alluring.

“Perhaps the best thing about the DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 is it is like a time machine for the listener. Music is new and exciting through the O/93 and not only will you want to play those old favourites, you’ll probably enjoy them in a way you might have lost, too. Highly recommended.”

“It’s rare to see cabinetry this professional and this beautiful in any loudspeaker, even those selling for ridiculously high prices. More than most loudspeakers, the Orangutan O/93s brought me closer to live, especially with concert recordings, and even over the Internet. Other speakers sound, er, too tame in comparison.”
Stereophile, Sam Telling, January 2014, Class B Recommended Component
