"Well, I run DeVore Nines, my amplification being NAC282/Supercap/200, and I find them about as near to perfect as I can imagine. Previously I owned Linn speakers (various) and I auditioned Quad Electrostatics and the Dynaudio range among other possibilities. The Nines' balance and integration are faultless, and they are the only speakers I have auditioned where I'm totally happy with the reproduction of piano – something which everyone who has heard them comments on. Quite a few speakers do well with voice, and the Nines give voice full presence, but to do equally well with voice and piano, well, I haven't heard anything comparable. They get percussion and bass just right too (my son is blissed out by drum'n'bass on them), and they can roar if need be. Simply, they sound natural right through the range. Also they are beautifully finished (I bought a premium finish, but the standard are excellent)."

I am delighted to introduce the remarkable Devore Fidelity range of loudspeakers to the UK. These unique loudspeakers have developed a cult following amongst true music fans in the US and are known to have a wonderful synergy with Naim electronics, their benign impedance curve and high efficiency flattering any amplifier they work with.


"DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 8. Made in Brooklyn, this two way floorstander won our hearts instantly and has become a huge favorite, especially with Naim owners. This is a speaker that delivers superior transparency with an easy going character and deep bass. Utterly coherent, and incessantly musical. A disappearing loudspeaker with all the right tone and tune. "

This is what John Devore calls the Gibbon Philosophy: "What makes the speaker easy to drive? Sensitivity and impedance are important, sure. But you also have to look at the entire loudspeaker as part of the amp, as part of a complete circuit. I want that interaction to be such that the amp stays as happy as it can, whether it's a Shindo or a Krell." Thus the system requires a well-behaved cabinet to go along with the well-behaved drivers —and DeVore accomplishes the former in a number of ways. The cabinet is made from two different densities of MDF, assembled with three different types of adhesive: "The selection of the glue for each part depends on whether the idea is to conduct resonances or isolate them," DeVore says. Damping treatment also involves three different materials; the result is a cabinet in which every panel exhibits a different resonant frequency from every other

The result of all that work is a narrow, medium-size floorstander (38" tall without spikes) with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (5.6 ohms minimum), 91dB sensitivity, bass extension down to 31Hz, and a relatively high degree of placement flexibility; in other words, a loudspeaker that seems able to do just about anything.

This stunning new player will be on demonstration soon.

The Black Ravioli system is a flexible energy control solution that deals with the impact of both external and internally generated energy on sensitive audio and visual equipment. The Black Ravioli pad is the core of the system. Each pad is an engineered energy control package. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with the spacer. Pads can also be stacked to increase capacity and further improve energy control. Contact us to try these incredible devices in your system

"Easily the best sound at the show was in the Tom Tom Audio room, where a mid-range Naim system was driving an unusually squat, black loudspeaker that looked rather like a professional desktop monitor. It turned out to be the Quality Manager 10 from Swedish company Guru - for whom Tom Tom handles the UK imports - and was indeed originally designed as a pro-monitor. Wondefully musical and capable of an entirely captivating performance, it also produced bass like no other compact speaker (using a four-inch driver) we've ever heard. The price might seem a little high for such a tiny cabinet, but we're sure nobody would think twice about paying £1,700 for a pair once they's heard them in action." Hi-Fi Choice, June 2008.

This is what Art Dudley of Stereophile said after hearing the Guru's "The system built around the Guru QM10p loudspeakers sounded amazing. Ingvar Ohman designed the two way QM 10p over 20 years ago and it's been a cult favourite every since. No wonder: In addition to it's uncanny bass extension, the diminutive Gurus had great timing, a real sense of flow and momentum and reproduced the spatial element of music with a sense of image height that one seldom hears from any loudspeaker at any price"
