DEVORE FIDELITY

DeVore Fidelity loudspeakers are available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised DeVore Fidelity dealer serving Western New York and the United States. Founded by John DeVore in Brooklyn, New York in 2000 and hand-built at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, DeVore Fidelity is one of America's most celebrated high-end loudspeaker manufacturers, combining traditional craftsmanship, custom-designed drivers, and meticulous acoustic tuning into speakers that deliver an organic, dynamic, and emotionally engaging sound signature unmatched by mass-produced alternatives. The DeVore Fidelity lineup at Vinyl Sound Buffalo spans the Orangutan series including the O/96, O/93, O/Baby, and Micr/O, and the Gibbon series including the Gibbon X and Gibbon 3XL, covering high-sensitivity floorstanding and standmount loudspeakers designed for low-powered tube amplification and high-current solid state designs alike. DeVore Fidelity is among the most critically acclaimed loudspeaker manufacturers in American high-end audio. The DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 was named Stereophile Loudspeaker of the Year 2017, with Art Dudley writing that the O/96 is the loudspeaker many of us have been waiting for and describing it as colorful yet uncolored with a transparency that is truly exhibited rather than merely claimed. The O/96 carries Stereophile Class A Recommended Component status, with reviewers consistently praising its 96dB/W/m sensitivity, 10-ohm impedance, 26Hz-25kHz frequency response, and unique ability to work with amplifiers as modest as 2 watts per channel from single-ended triode designs through to 200-watt solid state amplifiers. The Orangutan O/Baby received an enthusiastic Stereophile review in 2023, described as a miniaturised O/96 complete with optional solid oak stand, using a Vifa horn-loaded textile dome tweeter and SEAS paper woofer made to DeVore's specifications. The Gibbon Super 8 was awarded Best of 2005 by 6moons, while the Gibbon 3XL received the 6moons Blue Moon Award. DeVore Fidelity Orangutan speakers are specifically engineered for high-sensitivity, high-impedance operation, making them the ideal partner for Leben CS300XS, Leben CS600X, Line Magnetic, and Shindo Laboratory tube amplifiers available at Vinyl Sound Buffalo. The O/96's 96dB sensitivity and 10-ohm nominal impedance allows 8 watts per channel from a quality single-ended amplifier to drive a large room to realistic listening levels with authority, dynamics, and tonal richness that competing low-sensitivity designs from Dynaudio, Magico, and Wilson Audio require 200 watts or more to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is speaker sensitivity, and why does it matter for DeVore Fidelity?
Speaker sensitivity, measured in decibels (dB), tells you how loud a speaker plays for a given amount of amplifier power. A higher figure means the speaker needs less power to reach the same volume. It matters for DeVore Fidelity because models like the Orangutan O/96 are designed for high sensitivity, which is what lets them work with low-powered tube amplifiers.
Is higher speaker sensitivity better?
Higher sensitivity is not automatically better for every system, but it opens up amplifier choices. A high-sensitivity speaker such as the DeVore Orangutan O/96 can be driven well by a small single-ended tube amplifier of just a few watts, whereas a low-sensitivity speaker would need a much more powerful amplifier for the same volume. If you love low-powered tube amplification, high sensitivity is a real advantage.
What amplifier should I use with DeVore Fidelity Orangutan speakers?
Orangutan speakers are engineered for high sensitivity and an easy impedance, so they pair well with low-powered single-ended triode tube amplifiers as well as high-current solid state amplifiers. At Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY we can demonstrate them with Leben, Line Magnetic, and Shindo Laboratory tube amplifiers to help you find the right match.
What is the difference between the Orangutan and Gibbon series?
The Orangutan series, including the O/96, O/93, O/Bronze, and flagship O/reference, focuses on high-sensitivity designs built for low-powered amplification and a rich, dynamic presentation. The Gibbon series, including the Gibbon Super Nine and Gibbon X "Ten," offers DeVore's craftsmanship in a different form and voicing. The best choice depends on your room, your amplifier, and your taste, and we are happy to help you compare.
Is the DeVore Orangutan O/96 a good speaker?
The O/96 is one of DeVore Fidelity's most acclaimed models. It was named Stereophile Loudspeaker of the Year 2017 and holds Stereophile Class A Recommended Component status, recognized for its high sensitivity, natural tone, and wide dynamic ability.
