AS good as the Devore 0/96 are, I found they were no match for the c.80k YG Sonja. For that matter, they didn’t even beat my Rockport Avior with the RELs.But I already prefer that 15k to many 100k

Lamm!When is that happening? Ensure you demo them w tube amps.
Fyi, I have one demo left in the Avantgarde Duo Mezzo (which effectively replaced the Cessaro Wagner in my original 6). That is going to wrap it up for quite some time. KeithR is all demo'd out.
Will we get the executive summary?
He was making an executive summary for Keith.Wait, you have speakers??????

I am puzzled why John Devore went in the short four box direction rather than in the taller Gibbon X in a midrange - tweeter - midrange direction. He could have used the same drivers he is using in the four box set-up. And a tall speaker would have achieved height and scale as well.
Of course he could have done this, and he consciously chose not to, so I am very curious to learn why he preferred the short four box design.
While I am at it let me suggest another project for John. ( I know.)
How about taking the four box set-up he has right now and making each box taller? He could have four woofers in each woofer column, and a true midrange - midrange - tweeter design in the main box! This could be a near SOTA system (excepting only heroically heavy cabinets) competing with the SOTA four tower designs from YG, Verity, etc.

FWIW Ron, I've spoken to Sean of Zu, and he is skeptical that D'Appolito is the ideal. He actually feels it creates more problems than it solves. Not a borderline opinion w him.
I think that it's not definitively optimal to place bass top and bottom, and this introduces compromises (v hard to do well, and can scupper rest of the design).Marc, did Sean explain to you what some of those problems might be?
