Green Forever

by lowens on Ever Evolving

Description

Sold my Jeff Rowland Concentra II integrated amp and Wilson Duette speakers last Fall as I changed direction into the land of tubes. Now looking for Turntable (likely a Rega P9 with 47labs MCbee) and speakers (Devore,Shindo,Rondo, Verity,Ocellia, others?). I am struggling with the speaker choice. Devore would work well, but would I be fully satisfied with the Devore Nines or new 3XL?

Hi Lowens,
That`s very promising to get this response via an FM tuner with a speaker having so few hours. The Orangutan seems like a very well made upper quality 2-way speaker. Lowens was the Silverback ever a consideration? Was the simpler 2-way design of the Orangutan just more appealing?

Well congratulations on their arrival. Your Shindo-Devore matching is going to work out beautifully is my guess. I look forward to your impressions in due time.

Lowens,
Have you had enough time with your Orangutans to offer an impression?

Hello,
Lowens you have put together a very nice system. Shindo and the Orangutan has to sound exceptional.
When you find the time I`d love to read your impressions of this speaker.
Best Regards,

charles1dad
