Description

The Amazon Refernz rekindled my love for vinyl after a 20 year hiatus. The VRS server wrings soul and beauty out of digital media. The Shindo Giscours and Sinhonias have brought me to the end of a long journey in search of my reference electronics. The Devore Silverbacks simply let the music come forward.

Update: Thanks to Matt Rotunda, I just upgraded to the Shindo turntable. Pictures to follow.

Update: Mach2/Amarra software/Amarra DAC replaces the VRS/JRiver/Lynx/Antelope Clock digital front end.

Just looked up the Devore Silverback since you liked them better than the mighty Vandy 5. This is one speaker that does not get any press at all, how did you find them in the first place.

Give us more detail, what makes them better than the Vandy 5? Drivers on the Devore Silverback look high quality source from Denmark, what is unique seems to be in cross over. Have you compared to other speakers using similar drivers to get a sense of how much improvement is really from the cross over?
