DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 Loudspeakers
With a new version of DeVore’s 10 inch with no prescription needed Paper cone woofer with phase plug and the same gently horn loaded 1 inch silk dome tweeter, the O/93 retains much of the clarity and tonality of the O/96 at a lower sensitivity in a lower priced speaker.

“Using the O/93 is like side-stepping the whole studio system and sitting in front of the musicians.”
Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+ Magazine
“My beloved DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 loudspeakers perform at a level of excellence beyond what I ever dreamed possible.”
Herb Reichert, Stereophile Editor’s Choice 2014
“The DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/93 is a virtuosos all-around musician, feeling like Herbert Von Karajan in the Orchestra Pit, Jimi Hendrix on stage or Lionel Hampton in the studio.”
Fidelity Magazine, Germany
“I’ve heard and liked DeVore Fidelity speakers before, but the new Orangutan 0/93 was different. Even when listening to mostly unfamiliar music I fell in love with the sound from the get-go. The Orangutan 0/93 brings out the best in all genres of music.”

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

“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.”
The Absolute Sound, Alan Sircom, February 2016

“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.”
