Any video/interview with John is worth watching. I have yet to hear a pair of his speakers in person, but hopefully that changes soon. Great video and I can only imagine what an amazing experience it must be to sit in John's office and listen.

I own the o/93 for 3 years now ,few months ago I had a chance to listen to the o/baby at a local show and was surprised how big they sounded but even more was how they "disappeared" into the room. Well done John 👏

I really enjoyed that, Ken. Showing the trip to Dumbo and the Navy Yard really set the scene. Great mix of new speaker design, passion for music reproduction and gear talk. Bringing your own choice of LPs over must’ve been a treat! Hopefully you get a pair for an extended listen at some point. Looking forward to you views and feedback when that happens. Good stuff John & Ken!!

Good video. Thanks for posting.

All reviews should be like this one. So much and better information. Thanks!

great video! i gotta get that Great Jazz Trio album, drum solo sounded awesome.

love the aesthetic gorgeous line of speakers (and stands)

Fascinating story about the tweeter, agreed that you hear with your entire body, espoused in the past by Vladimir Lamm, now passed, great music.

It still amazes me that we can get something to vibrate so precisely it can mimic nearly anything and sound near real

One day, before my hearing fails, I want to hear the O/Ref in person

Are these available at American Sound of Canada? Michael Fremmer just did a really good tour of their store on his channel The Tracking Angle, but I don’t think I spotted them, unless I missed them.

Great showcase, Kenny

I'm not going to lie...I'm not a speaker expert...and barely understood 25% of the tech speak. What I am, however, is a audiophile of high-quality music. And at a price range of $5-$6K, these are entry to mid-entry level bespoke speaker system for a serious listener of music. And to fully appreciate these speakers, you'd probably need another $6 - $10K in a mid-high end turntable, cables and receiver. So, basically, we're talking about a $15,000 system...give or take. Cool video...that Tony Williams solo was amazing!!!

I cant find you on audea - can you post audio versions of your videos there? would love to listen to them! thanks again for the great content

Great interview as always, Ken. John is really passionate about music and audio that it always come across in his interviews. Off topic . I loved the opening montage of Brooklyn and that music was funky. What is the name of the song?

since this speaker was announced i've found myself periodically looking around the room and calculating exactly which records and pieces of hifi equipment i need to sell to afford a pair

I know you run a jazz forum, but did you listen to any rock or pop music with vocals? I've seen so many videos of New Yorkers reviewing these speakers but I haven't heard any mention of anything other than jazz, classical or instrumentals.

The question I’m left with, is would he have chosen that tweeter had he not been stuck with 900 of them from the O reference? Kind of seems like he designed the speaker around them.

I'm an owner of Gibbon Xs. I'll be visiting my daughter in NYC on October. Is there an opportunity to visit Devore Fidelity and listen to your speakers in its native habitat? Thanks!

What record was the Tony Williams solo on that John pointed out?

Which record was that Tony Williams solo on?

Ken, you can buy your country house upstate NY with the price of a pair of these speakers. 😂

$5700 plus $900 for the stands. May be a purchase for me. I have to hear them.

It's hard for me to visualize any recorded music reproduced in a different room environment to sound as if The musician(s) are transported into your listening room. It may very well sound like a fabulous reproduction of the drums that Tony Williams is playing. I don't think it will ever be possible to transport the sound within the boundary of the recording environment and get it to sound like it's right in your listening room. It would have to have the exact same room acoustic characteristics which is highly doubtful.

It looks like the Oh Babys are Hep cat approved Doc BC

Nooo not 6,5inch is not less than a quarter area vs 10 inch!!! 6.5x6,5 = 42. 10x10 = 100 its 42% of surface area of 10 inch driver

Tannoy's❓

Light wood, but tolerable to look at. So many high end speakers are hideous.

thin sound
