Have you tried to switch them as the bass port is radiating only to one side and not the back? This makes a huge difference. Maybe you´re right, but it´s very strange, because my room is acoustically treated with huge tube traps in the corners, absorbers in the ceilling, etc, etc, and after that investment the sq improves a lot and never before i had this result even with largers and difficult speakers, like Extrema, Martin Logan, Wilson and so on. I though that was definitly done interms of room accoustics. The local dealer dives me the chance to try the O. II and the news Guarneri Tradition, those maybe more like my kind of sound, we´ll see. I´m affraid i´ll have the same problem with the O.II but more subtle. Thanks for share your search with me, Iamwappie.

OIII is known because of its heavy bass. You Need at least two Devialet's to control it. SF are really hard to drive properly. So, try 440 with it and try to use it with Sam Off and On. You need at least 1 metre free space around each loudspeaker. Because i had bigger speakers around, already, without this kind of resonance. They´re incompatible each other, the room and the speakers, i guess.

I'm curious how the O II will sound. My dealer told me they are better balanced than de III. My room is about the same size than yours and the III would be too much indeed.

Have you tried to switch them as the bass port is radiating only to one side and not the back? This makes a huge difference. O.III is excellent speaker with quite neutral tonal balance from top to bottom. I had a opportunity to listen them in few rooms, 25 and 30m2. Electronics were D120, D200, AR VSi75, AR DS Pre and Ref75. Balance was more neutral than an older SF speakers like Amati Aniversario (too much bass, needed a distance 1.5m from the back wall in 30m2 room). D200 can drive O. III without a problem. At an event, O.III playing with D200 in some 50m2 room, dynamic and bass slam was astonishing. RE: Guarneri Tradition VS Devialet - BoyScout - 03-May-2017 Yeah, Libero, i´m affraid you´re right. There´s a lot of people happy with this joint Dev./O. lll, the problem could be my room. It´s a sad situation but i´m dealing with it. Modify again the room treatment is out of question, it takes time, a lot of money and you never know when enough is enough. I´ll try today the Guarneri Tradition and, if doesn´t works, the downgrade to O. ll could be the last solution.

You can´t compare the sound size neither the quality. The room isn´t acoustically perfect but looks like with the right speakers. RE: Guarneri Tradition VS Devialet - Confused - 09-May-2017 I see they are having some fun in Oxford. D1600 with Sonus Faber Amati Traditions anyone? Oh, with a dCS Vivaldi front end too. Sorry for going a little off topic, but it's a nice picture per the link if nothing else. https://twitter.com/OxfordAudio/status/861642098050838529 RE: Guarneri Tradition VS Devialet - BoyScout - 09-May-2017 (09-May-2017, 13:49)Confused Wrote: I see they are having some fun in Oxford.

I had an audition with the Amati Tradition in the dealer place. Great gear, great sound, great bill. But, believe me, you have a good part, a huge part of the same, for a small fraction of the price with the monitors Guarneri. And i´ve them here at home. Unfortunately with no SAM yet and i´m affraid we need to wait a wile to have them SAM ready.
